How screwed am I?

Well I just went through this. A Pa title that was never transfered that I needed in my name, Guy was dead. Gave it to a guy in New jersey he transfered it to his name. No one had to be there and no bill of sale. They gave him a new title on the spot.

He gave the new title to me and being it is out of state. I can transfer it to me at any notary in Pa. without the seller or a reciept present. That is the loop hole Its been done this way for years. Go out of state and bring it back!!
