I get a call at work today. My car is in the impound lot and they want me to come get it out. I immediatly freak out and go running out into the parking lot. There she sits. 
I call back the impound lot, the guy tells me my car has been there for a week. A trace was done and according to the state, I own the car and they want to collect. At this point I don't know what the heck is going on. I start asking questions and come to find out, the blue 94 Z28 that I sold a few months back was the car in the impound with 4 flat tires, no battery, but everything else appears intact. I made a few phone calls and get ahold of the guy's wife. She tells me that she is in middle of a divorce, hubby is an alcoholic and has left the state. I start inquiring about the Camaro and evidently he never titled it, that's how the a trace of the VIN came back as me being the current owner. There were numerous items that she said were missing, her husband has skipped town with money, personal belongings and the list goes on and on. The Camaro was evidently one item that was a source of one of the fights. The bottom line is she said she would give me the title and I can have the car back with no strings attached, supposedly out of pure spite for her soon to be ex-husband. All I have to do is come up with the impound fee and if he does return, not divulge any info as to what she "sold" the car for. Is this too good to be true? This definately ranks at the top of the wierd list for the day. The impound fee is $370, but climbs daily. It is the worst possible time financially, but would I be crazy to not go get the car?

, and the Title. Question is, I signed off the title when I sold it, but he never signed it. Can I just apply for a duplicate title or is this one still good? Never seen a situation like this before.
