Call your local police, and tell them there is an abandoned vehicle on your property. Ask them what you should do.

As suggested, report it as an abandoned vehicle. Then tell the person who owns it that you were getting hassled by code enforcement or whatever your local entity calls themselves.

I would send a certified letter to the person advising them that the vehicle must be removed from your property within 30 days or you will have it towed and scrapped. If they don't move it, scrap it.


If you can get it running, apply for an abandoned vehicle title with the state. Get it running and sell it for just enough to cover what you spent on it.

This is not a police issue. Call any tow company and they will remove it as long as you are the property owner or leasee. Some will charge you, others will do it for free for the salvage value. Let the owner know what you are going to do.

Why would you tell a lie like that? Just be upfront. Tell the owner to move it within so many days or it will be towed. It's that simple.

wrong it is a police issue. you cannot just have someones vehicle towed from your private property. there are legal issues even at this point.

i agree with calling the police and tell them it is an abandoned vehicle and let them deal with it.

That is pure BS. It is not an abandoned car. It was left there with the owner's (or leasee's) permission. It is a civil issue, not a police matter.

in order for the property owner to have the car towed, they must have either the owners permission, and he doesnt have that, or he must have the local police order the tow. and while the vehicle owner has stated he will remove the vehicle, he hasnt yet, and thus it technically IS an abandoned vehicle. remember it has been there for several months now. how much longer is the OP supposed to wait?
