If title is junked, then the claim is junked.
They hold MSO because it was given to them to register.
When you junk it they destroy the MSO. Then no one has the original.
They destroyed their claim.
Then go to a mechanic and get a safety inspection after title has been junked.
Now you have a trained professional in their jurisdiction signing off on the safely of the car and the title/claim is no where to be found.
Car meets safety standards so no issues there.
This fallows the rules of junkyards and importing regulations.

Also UCC and PPSA (canada) on car # has some effects.
I know of a truck that was sold after it was put on a PPSA and the buyer had to track down the seller after the fact and ask him to remove the PPSA because he couldn't register it. The seller forgot he did it and sold it with it still in place.
With that said then can a tow truck drive do anything with your car if it had a PPSA or UCC on it?
My thinking is he is screwed because now he can't hold it and collect yard fees and he can't destroy it because he can't junk the title.
