100% correct about the shop owner having no legal right to sell the car. Until and unless he files a mechanics lien and wins, he aint got nothing he can "legally" sell. At the same time I'm not sure he is required to continue to "store" the vehicle either! Especially if he was "moving".

Until and unless the original owner complains about it there is no case against anybody. I would not charaterize the vehicle as "stolen" by the last guy to buy it, with or without title. But I would be worried that COULD happen at some point in the future! The car is "hot" no matter how you slice it.
