Until a few years ago Alabama had very loose laws on titles and it was very common to wash titles there. Quite often people would steal cars in Florida or other surrounding states and have them "Titled" in Alabama and then sell them to the unsuspecting. When I lived in New Orleans it was common knowledge and one never bought cars from Alabama. It was a real problem at times.
