Yes, in our jurisdiction we have to try to notify the owner including an add in the newspaper that services the area the customer lives in and then get title to the vehicle. ($50)

So if you moved or your contact info is out of date in the vehicle (on the registration etc) we can and do take ownership of a vehicle with out notifying the owner.

When a car is in an accident and the repairs exceed 75% of the car's value, insurance companies total the car out, pay the owner and take possession of the car. They then resell it (usually though an auction) as salvage. The title is rebranded as such so if the car is rebuilt buyers will know it's been totaled.
