I would suggest report it to the police, main reason that it may be stolen/abandoned.  Someones pride and joy may be have gone AWOL...

Also remember as it appears untaxed it may also be uninsured.  Perhaps the latest owner simply has not managed to sort such niceties out yet but if that person or some passing ringpiece who breaks into it, drives off or releases the handbrake and hits you or your car/propery, then there is no insurance payout and your pocket suffers.....

My family fleet of 4 cars and 2 motorbikes are all taxed, MOT'd, insured and road legal.   Whether you agree with the taxation of vehicles etc or not, I know it irks me and others when some do not pay their share of the way....    ::)

OK, if it's still there in the morning I'll report it. I could phone now, but as it's 10.30 on a Friday night I think a call to my local nick about it would be as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit!

do i spy damage to the n/s wing? the trim under the headlight is out of place aswell, not to mention the obvious state of the drivers door mirror

not very well looked after if thats actually not stolen!

but more importantly, you all should get a row of photos of your car and stick them in your signature!! :y

Phone the police this morning. It's an ex-Essex Constabulary car which was sold at auction. The police have no interest in the vehicle (not reported stolen) and they have referred it to the London Borough of Barnet. Apparently a local resident reported it yesterday, too. Looks like it will be towed away and crushed.  :'(

I found a stolen motorbike just over a year ago. I phoned the police and they didn't want to know. I told them that if it stays there it will get nicked again.

I ended up putting it in my back garden. I eventually tracked down the owner, who said he was happy to let his insurance deal with it. He gave me his insurance company details. To cut a long story short I managed to get £250 from the insurance company for storage of the bike  :y

It's not been taxed/seems to have been written off in 2005 according to DVLA vehicle enquiry?  :-?

If the Council do things the same down there as up here then it will get either a 7 day or 21 day notice to remove it or it will be towed away.

That should be enough of an incentive for an unlucky owner to get his or her digit removed and shift the car.

Not my fault! A resident had already spoken to the police about it. Knowing the location of the car, its overall state and the absence of audio equipment and tax disc, I don't think that there's any "poor owner" out there. It's been deliberately dumped in the hope that someone else can get rid of it.
