See, the vehicle was no longer up for auction, but until I filed a bunch of paperwork, it was not on the financial institution's books either. It was sitting in perfect limbo. Ordinarily, I would never have considered just dropping the file into my bottom drawer under a bunch of paperwork that probably had never been looked at by me or the past 3 people to have sat at this desk before me.
