Car abandoned in my yard

Roll it out to the street and call the city.

Sorry, I meant county.

Yeah sure - and then go to prison for lying to the cops. No doubt lots
of witnesses saw this junker in the dood's yard.

Who said anything about lying?

"Hello, police? Yeah, there is an abandoned car in the street in front
of my house, I don't know where the owner is, and I'd appreciate it if
you could have someone tow it away." Nothing but the truth.

Why would they care? No doubt they want it gone just as much as he does.

Yea, they're going to open an investigation into an abandoned car being
more abandoned.

The city will come tow an abandoned car whether it's on the street or in
your yard. If you don't own it and it's not registered to you it's not
your problem. Call them and they will take it away.

I had a similar problem once. If the car is on
your personal property.
Call a wrecker company and ask them if they
want the car. If they will tow it, for it, all you
have to do is leave a note on the windsheild
that the car is abandoned and is to be moved.
Note has to be on the car for 24 hrs. The
wrecker co. can tow it and claim legal
ownership in lieu of fees. (tow and storage)
I'm in Tx. not Wi., so the law might vary. Call
your sherriff dept.

DO NOT push it out on a rural road and try to make it someone elses
problem. God help you in a civil suit if someone hits it and gets
injured.

You need to call either the police (state police/county Sherrif's
department) to have it removed, or go to the state DMV with VIN and proof
that you own it (i.e. proof that the tenants owned it, a copy of the lease
agreement and proof that it was left on your property and they have not
tried to claim it) to request a transfer of the title.

Why not call a local salvage yard and ask?

Look in the government pages of your phonebook under "abandoned vehicles".
(Around here every county has a number to have them taken away.) Call.

I'm a city dweller who's had to deal with this before. When I called
the police they told me that since there was not a posted sign that it
was a civil matter.

"No parking, vehicles(s) left will be towed at owners expense"

They could not have the car towed. The next day somehow the car had
been mysteriously moved out onto street parking by forces unknown and
there it was ticketed as an abandoned car and towed away!

Neat & Tidy!
