Easiest way. Have a buddy with a towing business and have it towed to his lot. Attempt to find the last, legal owner and have your buddy send them a bill for towing and storage. After the required wait time, he can apply a mechanics lien and get a title.

It doesn't work that way in Illinois. I owned a towing business for 30 years and we towed for both the Illinois State Police and the Elk Grove Village Police. I would average over 150 vehicles a year that I had to process paperwork to get titles so we could dispose of, or sell parts off of them.

When applying for a Mechanics Lien, the paperwork started with a signed invoice for the "Services Rendered" (repair invoice or authorization to tow the vehicle in question) When applying for a title through Illinois, the paperwork started with a Certificate of purchase, then a Salvage Certificate, then an inspection by the Secretary of State Police, resulting in a Rebuilt Title (Branded for the life of the vehicle). When going the rebuilt Title route, the Police tow report was used as authorization to tow the vehicle. That's my story for what it is worth.
