You can also try to put what they call a mechanic's lien on the car.Where as you state to DMV that the vehicle was parked in my garage and they have not paid any rent for the space and back rent is owed so that way it shows cause and its much better than having the title stamped abandoned vehicle especially if you go to sell it.

In front of your home, or ON your property. There is a big difference there.
If it is in the City's right of way, you have no more claim to it then the guy living across town, and a lot of time the City property is not just at the edge of the road or back of the sidewalk but can extend 5 or 10 feet past that. If you have someones car towed off of public property without their permission, even if you think it is abandoned it is called theft. Any damage done is your responsibility and Murphy's law says that long lost owner will turn up and sue your *ss. If you want it.. call the lost owner. If you want it gone... call the police
If its on YOUR property, then you need to notify the owner to move it, and advise him of rental charges (in writing to the address of record on the registration). Once you do that you can file a lien.
good luck

You have to send a registered letter trying to find the original owner and there is a waiting period, if they respond they will probably just sign it to you, if not you can register it as "restored junk"
I helped a friend of mine with this with his 1968 cougar

usually yes, they will contact the legal owner and give them time to re-claim it, then they send the documents to you if not claimed
