It's been sitting in my driveway for 3 years. It isn't working but I plan to fix it. Were going to file for a lost title but were not sure who owns it. I was wondering if I could go to a website or go in to Oregon DMV to find out by the VIN. If the bankruptcy people own it I was going to file for a lein. In the state of Oregon and Washington (I live in WA but the car is from OR) if a car is abandoned for 6 month it will then belong to the property owner. Do I need insurance inorder to file for a lost title? -
