The process varies by state.  Look online for a resource which may explain
(should be a statute) the process or check with the DMV in Alaska.

Subject: anyone familiar with mechanic's lien

Have any of you VW folks dealt with a "mechanic's lien"?  There is an
orphaned/abandoned van at a shop here, and I want to facilitate the process
of the shop taking ownership and selling it to me.

Lawyers, mechanics-- anyone out there familiar with this process?

Thanks--  Chris
