sometimes creativity pays off. I found an old insurance card from about 30 years ago in my truck. I looked up the name and address, and (of course) there was no direct match. However, there was a match in the same city at a different address. I mailed a letter (that's right, the old-fashioned way) and asked him to call me if by chance he owned this truck in the past. Turns out it was the same guy, and he was quite surprised to get my letter. Turns out I got a great history about my truck from him.
