Well, I'll chip in with my .02 worth.....
I have bought many LBC's over the years out of peoples' back yards which
had been sitting forever but for which the paperwork was "around here
somewhere, but we don't know where Gramps put it." I had no doubt that
the ownership claim was valid, but the paperwork was gone and the car
had dropped out of the computer system long since. Many of these cars
were repairable and restorable. Other cars which were really nothing
but parts collections came with titles which left me with a file full of
Triumph and MG titles and number plates for cars which I had parted out.
I don't find any ethical problem with resolving the resultant
difficulties with Occam's famous razor!
