If the property owner complains about an abandoned vehicle. Or if the police saw it being operated on public roads or common access areas of private property.

Yes. To both questions. It's private property, with public access. Kind of like the parking lot at the grocery store. If it's current with registration but parked over the posted time limit, the property owner would have to request the tow. But if it isn't registered, no plates, it obvious they didn't teleport it there so it must have been driven, so in that case, yes, the police can order it towed. I recently had one that look like abandoned, but when the plates were run it turned out to be stolen out of state, so I got a police tow out of it.

The cops can tow it away for other reasons too. If the zoning laws prohibit cars being parked at the service station that don't have plates then yes, it would be towed.
If it was suspected of being part of a crime, or being stolen, it would be towed.
An unlicensed car that is outide of an enclosed garage is seldom a welcome thing to neighbors.

Police can tow a car from anywhere if there is a complaint lodged. Especially if the car is not registered.
