Well if he was the last owner with a title, that may work. It will have had to have been regestered in the last 7 years or it will have dropped out of the system - then you start over. If his name was on the title, it may work. I'd be interested in knowing how his day faired.

Any peace officer used to be able to do it and maybe your neighbor will be willing to help. But the last two times I have tired to do this the CA DMV were complete BUTT$ and would not accept a VIN check certification sheet from anyone other than a "designated" California Highway Patrol Officer, or a "Designated" DMV officer. And the "Designated" officers are AT the DMV or AAA/DMV offices.

Hopefully it will go smothly - let us know!
