Ben, Your reply doesn't really address the crux of my argument. If theft recovery is not cause for a salvage title in California (as per the DMV Web page I referred to a few Digests ago), then your experience is irrelevant for the matter at hand.
Unless the insurance company for some reason sees it in its interest to get the recovered car on a salvage title (but why?) or mistakenly thinks it needs one, and the DMV does not turn down the request. Sonny Sonny - Things have gotten considerably tighter in the last 10 years. It is rare that a title escapes being branded today. Oh, and I had one that the state neglected to label as salvage, but it was still considered salvage on state records and on CarFax. Tough to escape it.
