Default Tracking Previous Owners and a Previous Car

hey everyone, so im awake and im bored!!

my BA has been running like rubbish longer then i can remember. its been blowing fault codes for months etc etc, my mate asked me to bring it into his work at an un named ford dealership over his lunch break last week.

he hooked it up to the computer and it blew 3 codes, O2 Sensor dead, TPS sensor dead (will be easy replacements). but the interesting bit is it showed a code saying the car had a custom tune through it. he uploaded the latest stock tune to the car and its been the best week of owning the car!!!.

so now im wondering, why does an old lady living in country WA feel the need to tune an XR6? i have to know!!. ive got a few details in the owners manual im going on. will ford or the selling dealer be able to help me? or will it breach their privacy laws etc etc.

while were on it im also chasing my old car down again now my uncle has time to repair it, we know it went through auction over a year ago and was bought by a ford dealer. bought with a personal loan and then smashed with no insurance. this car has been sitting for a year now with its rego not renewed but its orignal plates still attached, it has pretty heavy front panel damage but its whereabouts remain a mystery. how would i go about finding that?

any help would be appreciated.
