I'd have to agree with Joe-
So many years have gone by (is there a statute of limitaions on something
like this?); the current owner didn't know the history of the car untill
recently; the previous might not even be around-and probably doesn't even
care anymore- after nearly 10 years! And forget the insurance company...I
won't even begin to get into that...
I'm a pretty honest and ethical person-but I say-go to the DMV, apply for a
lost title and keep the car! Or at least keep it for parts.
JMHO,
Laura G. and Nigel
