Thanks for your thoughts, guys. Unfortunately, I'm not Jim Rockford, with a buddy on the police force. New York's beyond my usual territory for car shows, so the chance of running into the original owner -- even if he happened to be at a show -- is just about nil. Guess I'll have to reconcile...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have looked at the registry. No luck.
