Sorry I don't agree at all. There has been numerous situations where collector cars were recovered, in a few cases, were caught about to leave this country forever, and were caught on a stolen list. Some of this stuff is valuable.
"Up here" the drug runners have discovered stealing not only RV trailers but MOBILE HOMES.
If titles are made too easy to modify, hack, forge, what protection do we have? After all, once your car is "on that trailer" it's gone. The only thing you've got in most states is that paper. This is EXACTLY the reason that later (68--on) cars had stamped transmissions, engines, and several body stampings.
