Car Title Run Around !! Grrr

I have to believe it's more in who you talk to. I had lost my Title for my 69 and went down to the Secretary of State in upper Michigan. They had no record of my car when they ran the vin as I had not had a plate on it in years. They printed me a replacement Title right on the spot but warned me if the car wasn't really mine the title could.....be contested. took about 15 minutes. I did find the original eventually but I could not believe how easy it all was?

Same here.....once knowing how and what I had to do going the route I went ( or going the route you went for that matter ) It is pretty easy to do.

Someone could steal your car and set it in there garage for a few years (long enough for a stolen car report to be erased from the history of the vin) and they could go in and get it legal in there name.

as long as you have a vin number it can be done.....only problem is,it would only be a matter of time before you got in trouble if you purposely got a title for a stolen car or you were being sneaky about a deal or something.

But for a matter such as owning a car and not having a title and knowing its not stolen there is not problems.
