Will Real Donald Hopkins Please Stand Up?

So,

I get a MSN Chat message from my Uncle in Fairbanks, Alaska asking if I was in Anchorage on 10/08/08. The Anchorage Police Department is looking for me, he says. I used to live with him approximately 15 years ago. He received a notice of two vehicle citations totalling $110. Since I was nowhere near Anchorage for a couple of years, I was perplexed. "Could it be that the person that bought my car over 10 years ago never changed the title from my name?" Man this sucks!!! So I called the number my Uncle gave me and talked to a lady. I explained who I was and what I was inquiring about, and she told me the citations were for a 1989 Green GMC pickup. As I told her I had never owned a GMC of any sort, she put me on hold and looked up the DMV records. She came back on the phone and informed me that the title had been transferred out of my name the day after the citations were issued. Super!!!! She then told me I could get a sworn affidavit from the buyer indicating I had sold the truck to him prior to the citations being issued, get it notarized and send it in. "Well, I have not lived in Alaska for over 11 years" I told her. "How do I go about doing that, when I have never actually owned this vehicle?" She told me she had never come across this before and that I would have to contact the DMV and see if they could straighten this out. Then get back with them. Frustrated and getting ready to call the DMV, I asked he one last favor, "Can you tell me if the truck is registered under Donald J. Hopkins? I have a few relatives living up there that have the same name as me, we just have different middle names." She looked it up and told me it was registered under Donald L. Hopkins. I told her thank you for her time, as I hung up and feel much better. This could be my cousin or my other uncle. The uncle I was chatting with told me he talked to my cousin and he or his dad never owned a Green GMC pickup. Weird, I guess it will remain a mystery along with why my uncle that does not share my name received this notice at his house. There are apparently too many Donald Hopkins in this world. This is not the first time I have been approached and asked if I was a different Donald Hopkins.
