Title search back to '67, how is it done???

[BBIGG BLOCK 396]

I have asked 4 police officers,and my personal insurance agent,and 2 other insurance agents about the NICB.None of them have any knowledge of them or at least would not tell me anything.I know the NICB exists because I have been to there web site,I guess it just takes the right person to find out about them.One of the people I asked is an Auto Theft Detective.He said he had never heard of them,I told him to check out there website that he might could use them for information.He has never gotten back to me to let me know what he has found out.

Bobby,
I think somebody is pulling your leg! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]
People abandon cars all the time around here and never transfer the title. It gets to be a real circus trying to find out who will fess up to owning the car last. I know in MN there is such a thing as a manual look-up for all owners of a vehicle and it has to come from a teletype from the law enforcement agency. I think I've only used it once so far in my career! I believe I also have the phone number for somebody at NICB in case I have questions about something. I just dug through some old paperwork in my desk and saw it. Now I hope I didn't throw it out with the other junk.

Check to see if your State has a web site for DMV(department of motor vehicles) Maybe you can email somebody there to see if it can be done. Otherwise check at your local license bureau to see if they can help you.

Here's a link for all you MN people here: www.dps.state.mn.us
Maybe substitute your state into the address to see if your state has one.

I am going to try the white page angle online if I can figure out how to access the sight for San-Diego, I know a State Patrol up here, I will approach him, But I was told they track what the officers of the law do in the systems these days and they probably dont want to lose there job over a favor, That cant be exsplained easily to there boss, I dont think chasing information across county can be exsplained easily, I will get back if I find a angle that is helpful. I am waiting for belair to get back with me on how to hit the white pages,

Thnx for the info guys, Bud. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] I love this gears Guy!

What does NICB stand for? I have been a insurance agent for 30 years and never heard of it. Kim [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Ron is right, I just got back a title search from Maryland, they actually give you too much info! They also relayed to me that there were two more titled owners on this particular car, but since I only paid for one - they only sent one. I just go to the individual state's DMV page, look for title info section, and download the proper form through Adobe Acrobat. I have found that mailing a personal check vs. a US postal money order provides better results.

Kim;
I think it means National Insurance Crime Bureau. It's a private organization that is not connected to the government, the big three automakers or the insurance industry. I believe they provide info to the insurance provider when a car gets stolen.

Hey, twice in less that a week that somebody said that! LOL

The last time was after another officer thought that he knew the traffic laws better than I. (yeah right) The Sgt. said "No, I think Ron's right" and I even showed them the statute to prove my point.

Now if I could get the judge to say those 3 words more often. LOL And yes you're right Marlin
