With an Abandoned Vehicle : Find the property owner . Check with the City Clerks office as to who has the Property Owners name on file > usually will tell you. Then check with the Property Owner. If they tell you they have no Idea > then with the Police Dept. take a copy of the VIN off the dash tag as they will run it & see if it is reported stolen anywhere. I believe that the Property Owner has some say over abandoned vehicles on their property > check with Motor Vehicle. If Motor Vehicle states that the Property Owner has to file some paperwork > get the paperwork and make it really easy for the person to help you. let me know how this shakes out > should be interesting ~!
