Help On Claiming An Abandoned Car?
Question by Nos_2411: Help On Claiming An Abandoned Car?
So there is this car in an underground parking lot of a hotel/shopping complex which is covered by a car cover full of dust. It has been there for months. It also has foreign number plates and I would really like to claim this car. I think that the “owner” imported it here, and claimed it as stolen in the country where it is registered. Also this car is from around 1969-1971.
Now the problem is that the car is not on my property and I think the company that manages the carpark forgot about it. Do you think they will just let me take the car out of there carpark?
If this help, the country where this car is is Malta, Europe and If I am correct the number plates are registered in the UK
I don’t want to steal it. It might be that the owner has left it there for some reason, but Bank Routing Number First State Bank And Trust i highly doubt it. Anyway I might have a small chance of getting in contact with the owner… so I might be able to buy it…

the owner of the property has to put a lien against it, or have it towed to a impound lot and they will store it and then liensell it..

The vehicle will have to have a lien sale by the property managers of the
hotel complex. Once the sale date has been posted and an ad placed in
the newspaper, when the sale date passes then the vehicle becomes the
property of the lien. You can bid on the property once a sale date has
been posted, but no one ever does!

The owner could be out of the country or be gone from the local area for some legitimate reason. This does not give you the right to assume you should be able to lay claim to the car. I know people who travel and leave their vehicles for months at a time.

so you want to steal a car, you think someone else stole, or you figure someone “forgot” it here is an idea go get a job stop trying to get something for nothing and stop creeping around in garages you have no business in JESUS

If its YOUR property, check with your DMV on the procedures. Chances are you will have to make an attempt to notify the owner and/or list it in the newspaper for a time. After that, you can THEN apply for an abandoned title.
Your property manager may know more but in most instances, they just call a towing company who tows it away and deals with it.
If its not your property, forget it.
