Good luck. It's extremely difficult to cancel a TIP if you don't have the vehicle there with it attached.
Two options: Put the vehicle in the name of someone else that is on the registration/title, like a spouse.
If you don't have that option available, the other one isn't as fast and easy. Renew your passport. When a new or renewal passport is issued, a new number is assigned. The TIP's are tied to the passport number, so when it is renewed, there is no history of a TIP being issued to that number, so you can get another one. However, the time to get a new passport, depending upon the route you take to get it, can be time consuming.
Good Luck, please keep us all posted as to how this goes.
