[Roadsters] How Do I Get A Title for a Titleless Car???

[nmleeds at mindspring.com]

My title inspection in Colorado was in what appeared to be state prison. I drove in, past armed gunmen and a big faded sign that read "do not leave your car, await instructions"  After waiting in 15 degree temperature in my topless '69 2000 I decided that the sign must be outdated, got out of my car and started walking over to the nearest door thinking I'd knock and find someone.  Not a second after I left my car a voice over a loudspeaker -- I suspect from one of the prison watchtowers -- instructed me to wait in my car.  

The inspector explained that all the security was necessary because people tend to run when a highway patrolman finds they are driving a stolen car.  It struck me that only a particularly law abiding car thief tries to get a title on a stolen car -- only in Colorado.
