#1. Find out who the previous owner was. (source Motor Vehicles Devision
of the State)
#2. Send him a registered letter demanding a few hundred dollars for
storage cost.
#3, Include a power of attorney in you letter that the PO can sign if he
gets the letter.
#4. If the letter is returned either by the PO or the post office for non
delivery file for a new title as an abandoned vehicle.
That is how it works in Texas and I've gotten new titles about five times
in the past ten years.
