Default Alignment Probem: Need Help

Please Help!!!
Original owner of 05 and has 32K miles.
Started noticing steering wheel misaligned to the left and drifting
to the right. Front tires are wearing much faster on the inside of both
front tires. Took car to local alignment shop and told them the problem.
After alignment, the drifting and steering alignment have not been resolved.
I've checked their aligment results and they are within spec.
Anyone has any suggestions???

How much front camber is the paper showing? How much toe?

Has the car been in a severe collision?

Started noticing steering wheel misaligned to the left
This is just a steering positioning problem and not an alignment problem as such.
drifting to the right.
Does this happen on a perfectly flat road surface or only on a "high crown" road? It may be normal.
Front tires are wearing much faster on the inside of both
front tires.
This is also normal. In fact, your rear tires should be doing the same thing. It's our normal camber and toe that does it.

All the above & check your tire pressures on all four when cold.

Don't mind the tire wear as much as the misaligned steering wheel is very irritating.
Tire pressure are even @ around 32 psi.
No accident.

Front camber intial and after alignment:
L: -0deg24'
R: -0deg24'

Front toe initial:
L: 0.00"
R: 0.05"
Total: 0.05"

Front toe after alignment:
L: 0.10"
R: 0.10"
Total: 0.25"
