You should first contact the local authority that has jurisdiction over the abandoned vehicle. Local authorities are authorized to take custody of any abandoned vehicle in their jurisdiction, whether abandoned on private or public property. If the local authority does not choose to exercise its authority to take custody and ownership of the abandoned vehicle, you may do one of the following as appropriate:

If the vehicle has a wholesale value of $ 1,250 or less, and is 10 years or more model years old and has been abandoned for at least one month you can transfer the vehicle to a registered itinerant vehicle collector. Use the statement of abandoned vehicle PDF to do so. To calculate the first eligible model year, subtract 9 from the current calendar year. If the motor vehicle does not meet all of the preceding requirements, ask you local police agency to give a towing company an authorization to tow the vehicle away from your property.
