The point of the OP was not doing business with a friend or acquaintance, as they may take liberties that a stranger would not.
This was someone I worked with and assumed was a friend. We had never had "issues". When we were verbally negotiating and I asked about the "clear" status he did not cop to it, and later when informed, tried to weasel out of it. I assumed, on account of our work and friendly relationship that he would not conceal such a fact and therefore did not run the tag number before closing. I'm done explaining myself on this event. It was 15 years ago and is water well under the bridge.
