So you get rear-ended and the guy drives off. You call up your insurance and get set up to have work done on the vehicle.

You take it in and on Monday they say your car is ready so you go to pick it up. The work looks good. On Wednesday they call you again and say your car is ready. You go to the shop again and they hand you a car with the same make, model, color, license plate, prior unrelated damage, and things that you had left inside. Do you say something?

Without the title it's a worthless scrap metal

Not really. You could use the title-less car with your plates. It isn't like a cop is going to check the VIN if you get pulled over. Drive up the miles on it and then store it for parts when you switch over to your original car.

That's how I learned what a VIN was, asking a buddy what's this little plate with numbers on the dash that the cop looked at.

Just take the other registration with you. It matches an identical car with the right VIN.
