Yes indeed . That was a BIG part of my job , was investigating "TITLE WASHING" , big problem , and what was bad is those vehicles were a SALT water flood , VERY good for the electronics ! For a time they were using CANADA to re-title the Vehicles , everything stops at the border , so it was very hard to check title history in Canada , but it has gotten better thanks to groups like IAATI , never a dull moment . The reason AUTO CRIME is such a big deal to LE is that it is the START of a lot of other crimes , so it is a big deal . A little boring DMV HISTORY , sorry , LOL
