A reference cannot be one of many different kinds of things. We need a relationship between a car and an owner. A car is defined by its VIN (Vehicle Identification Number, ISO- 3779 standard) and a VIN is easy to verify. An owner is a legal concept; it can be a person, corporation, church, etc, (what we call a "lawful person"). But he/she/it has certain attributes when they act as an owner. They have an address for legal purposes, they have the title to the car, etc. We do not care about other attributes -- what sex is your bank :)?
