Yes.
A friend of mine used to regularly buy cars at an auction that primarly sold abandoned cars. Cars get left on the side of the road and have to be towed away. After a certain amount of time if the owner doesn't claim it (and pay for the tow/storage), they can be sold.
Often my friend would part out the cars, but some were decent enough to get running and sell.
Occasionally, someone may lose the title and keys, but I think that is far less likely to occur.
And yes, some are probably stolen.
