JiP Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Posted December 12, 2007 From what I can see the car looks great. Someones put some work into it just to leave it abandoned. Quote
Trev Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 If no one picks it up in 1 week the council / shire can tow it to their abandoned cars yard. The vehicle has to be advertised as a abandoned car, they have to hold them for a certain time then they sell them usually by tender or auction.. The police notify the owner of their intentions first and if the owner does not get it then it gets picked up. Quote
7shades Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 They hold it for one month during which time they try to find the owner, then they advertise their intent to auction in another months time. I buy a lot of cars from the council :lolcry: Quote

I buy a lot of cars from the council :lolcry: Your council must be a bit different, Just the other day dad had a customer that got a phone call from the police and said he needs to move his car or it will be taken away so he rang dad and asked him to grab it as he did not want the car anymore, Dad went down and got the keys so he could get it and when he arrived the car was gone, This all happened within a matter of hours and a distance of only 2k's (Dads house, Keys, Car) Quote
JiP Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Lolla almost became one of those cars a few years ago. It broke down and my brother was just going to forget about it. I'm glad I took it from him and saved it Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 This car has been on the side of the motorway for over a week now. I want to tow it to my place. Saw this the other day and thought it was funny. Why is this funny? Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 be carefull it is not a got you car. Quote
SoulSearcher Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 because it says "vehicle" instead of "long vehicle" and saying just "vehicle" it IS one? Quote

I guess due to the large amount of abandoned backpacker cars up here they dispense with such formalities... they just stick a notice on the windscreen saying "Hey, anybody own this? Well, y'all got 24 hours, bitch" and then tow it. Quote
