cool old mining town.

titles involved a $10 application and then whatever the cost of the title was, and if somebody claimed a vehicle you could charge them towing and storage at like 25/day. I think we had ONE vehicle reported stolen and taken away - a great old truck, a big chevy full ton. 68 if I recall. That one pissed me off because the salvage yard that was the holding facility for the cops ended up getting the title. bastids.

we had two parties come claim vehicles - that was a little touchy because we knew they were involved in smuggling. and weren't victims of theft (we could tell)

One of the best one was 15 passenger van that was still intact and actually running when we found it. BP had chased everybody off into the rocks. Had some fun adventures with that van. It was actually a border to PHX shuttle van, but had been sold off to somebody in Mexico. Nini's Shuttle. Nice big 450 in it, pulled the stock trailer just fine. Hauled 13 Germans to Chihuahua in it. Still have it but it needs a bunch of work. AC went out, fuel pump, muffler and I think we have stolen some parts including tires and wheels off it for another truck (also an abandoned vehicle)
