Never, enter or even touch an abandoned vehicle. It may have been used in a crime and need to be investigated by the police.
Local authorities are under a duty under Section 3 of the Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978, to remove a vehicle, which is abandoned in their area, on public land. It does not cover vehicles abandoned on private land.
Under this Act, abandoning a vehicle is a criminal offence, carrying a maximum penalty fine of £2,500 or 3 months' imprisonment, or both.
Abandoned vehicles that have some value can be removed immediately and the registered owner given 7 days to respond before the car can be destroyed.

they can, and in sheffield they regularly do.
get in touch with either the police or your local council and make sure they know about this problem.
you should be able to get an email address or non-emergency number to get in contact with them. good luck
