Answer 2

You are not going to like this answer:

It doesn't matter how long the vehicle has been abandonded on your property because the law state that a towing service has to tow the vehicle and in 97 hours it will go up for public auction and if you would like the vehicle, you can then bid on it. If you win, you can go down to your local DMV and get a title for it. Sorry..

Answer 3

In TX. if one finds an abandoned vehicle, not on ones property, one can advertise in the classifieds for 30 days for the owner.

After that one can claim it and get a registration of ownership.

Had friend did just that. Long time ago, unless things have changed.

I tried to find your answer with your local govt agency. It pulled up Oregon laws, but perhaps they are the same.

98.120 Notice to owner of receipt of property by consignee or bailee. If personal property left with a consignee or bailee referred to in ORS 98.110 was not left for the purpose of being forwarded or disposed of according to directions received by the consignee or bailee at or before the time of its reception, and if the name and residence of the owner of the property is known to the person having the property in the possession of the person, the person shall immediately notify the owner, by letter directed to the owner and deposited in the post office, of the reception of such property.



98.130 Right of custodian to sell property. If personal property deposited with a consignee or bailee as mentioned in ORS 98.110 or 98.120 is not claimed and taken away within one year after the time it was received, the person having possession thereof may at any time thereafter proceed to sell the property in the manner provided in ORS 98.140 to 98.240.

Answer 5

If a vehicle is left on your property you can obtain possession of it immediately subject to payment of a puise rent. Otherwise you can dispose of it how you please. If you want to register the vehicle contact the licencing body.

Answer 6

You'll have to go to court. You probably won't be able to get the title, unless you have a lien against it; but you could have it impounded with the city.
