Alabama's 1975 title law to curb car thefts takes effect
Alabama's new automobile title law, effective October 1, will mainly affect 1975 model vehicles and later. It requires salvage and junkyard operators to keep records, enabling police to check them and curb plate theft. Thieves have paid junk dealers for plates to disguise stolen cars, a practice the law aims to disrupt as 1975 models enter circulation.
