EDIT*: i don't have the title i gave it to the guy who'd towed my car away

You need to have a VSA 44 (vehicle demolition report) filled out whenever you have a vehicle scrapped. I strongly suggest finding the purchaser of the vehicle and having them give you a bill of sale at the very least. If you can get documentation of having the vehicle destroyed, you can take that to your local tax assessors office and they will use it to finish out your last tax bill.

That is a BIG problem with these scrappers lately. Everyone with a truck and trailer is hauling cars off for scrap cause of the prices now, but they are not doing their paperwork correctly.
