How much is a title for a car?

Are you supposed to keep your car title in your car?
It is not recommended that you keep the title to your vehicle in the glove box. If your car is stolen, thieves would then have all of the information needed to easily sell your vehicle—your title number and the registration information, which is presumably in the glove box.
