What they do is run the VIN for the owner and send a certified letter with
the total fees owed. If there is no repsonse, the junk yard or garage,etc
can apply for a title.

More exciting CA car laws: cars can no longer be retrieved from junk yards
in CA. Any car that goes to a junk yard in CA can never be registered
again. This is why I recently drove from NH to CA and back to retrieve a
'67B that was about to be junked.
This is the car with the rusted through panel that the heater and pedal box
mount to that I was asking about. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going
to save the car, but because I kept it from a CA junkyard, there is still a
legal title in existence for this VIN. Maybe someday I'll replace every
part on this car with the parts from another car without a title.
ALthough, it's getting to the point where I could make another car from my
spare parts. :-)
