In the early 80's, you may remember there was a concern called Car Locators of America. I did one for Arkansas. The system didn't work nearly as well as it sounded like it could. Anyway, I had a call one day, someone wanted a certain year model Caddy, didn't care how it looked, ran, etc., as long as it had a clean title. I was a bit naive and went to a trusted friend who ran a towing business. When I mentioned what someone had asked for, he wasted no time telling me that they had a stolen car and needed something to have paperwork. Geeze, am I too honest and naive? I don't think of stealing vehicles, so therefore, nobody else does.

Later, mid-90's, my oldest sons Toyota truck was stolen, stripped and burned. Sucked for him.
