You can go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and fill out a form to find the last person who titled the car.
Answer
Although it's true in a general sense that you can walk into a motor vehicle agency and get information regarding the owner of a vehicle if you have the VIN, there are some specificis. I'm quoting Oklahoma law here, but it's similar in most states and even more restricted in California.
You have to have some reason for having the information. If you are a wrecker service and need it to notify the owner that their vehicle has been impounded, you must include your business license and DOT number. If you are the registered owner, you can get it. If you are acting on behalf of the RO and have their signed and notarized statement giving you permission, you can get it. If you are a court, or law enforcement you can get it. If you are a creditor you *might* get some limited information, ditto if you are an insurance company, unless you have a signed and notarized statement from the RO giving you permission to get it.
So, yes you can, but only under certain circumstances and you show a need for the information.
