Tried searching for the person on anywho. But they JUST moved. The letter did come back and had a note on it that said MOVED. Water damage was on the front and bled to the back and completely destroyed the signature. The problem is that it would be obvious if he signed it him self (I asked him the same question). And to get a duplicate there has to be a check (fee for a duplicate title) with the owners name and address on it. Maryland is a pain in the @$$ when it comes to this stuff. I just went through hell and back trying to get my Caddy's title straightened out.

One idea was to make up some checks with his account # put their names and adress on it to request a duplicate, but that is very risky...especially if you're caught. Maryland DMV workers have nothing better to do than bother the **** out of people anyway. I heard somewhere that a Mechanic can have it declared abandoned? Or finding a parts truck with a good title and vin plates...
