I donated a car to KPBS a while back. As part of the process they informed me clearly of the California rules of submitting a transfer of registration form within 5 days of the transfer: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/online/nrl http://www.dmv.ca.gov/online/nrl IIRC, the guy towing the car even gave me a copy of that form. At the time I thought it was just more DMV bullshit paperwork, but filling out that form was a lot easier than clearing up some of the messes described in these stories would have been, so I guess it is actually useful.
