Nyuk...Nyuk...You mean that old silver "abandoned" one? It's been there so long, it almost feels like it's abandoned! Guess I better start watching out for poachers.

very funny responses.. okay the car is located on the side of a back road in an industrial area, nyc. so its a public street, and normally here in nyc after 3 tickets the car is towed, sometimes once there is no registration sticker in the window it gets towed as well.

Time Limit for Legal Abandonment
<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">The first question most people ask is when a vehicle can be considered abandoned. In New York, a vehicle must meet one of the following conditions to be legally considered abandoned. First, if a vehicle has no license plates and is left on a highway or public place for more than six hours, the vehicle is considered abandoned. If the vehicle has license plates and is left unattended on a highway or public place where it is illegal to park for more than 24 hours, the vehicle is considered abandoned. If the vehicle is legally parked and has license plates but is left for more than 48 hours, the vehicle is considered abandoned. Finally, if a vehicle is left on private property without the permission of the owner for more than 96 hours, the vehicle is considered abandoned. Ownership of a Vehicle Worth Less Than $1,250
<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">If the vehicle has no license plates and its worth is estimated at less than $1,250, the local authority with direct jurisdiction over the place where the vehicle is parked shall be vested with ownership of the vehicle. This will almost always be the town in which the vehicle was abandoned, unless it was abandoned on a state highway or any other type of state property, including state parks. Ownership of a Vehicle Worth More Than $1250
<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">If the vehicle's value is more than $1,250 and the vehicle has plates, ownership shall be granted to the jurisdiction which issued the plates. The jurisdiction must attempt to notify the vehicle's owner. If the owner does not respond within 10 days, the vehicle must be sold at public auction. If the vehicle does not have plates, ownership goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Public Use of an Abandoned Vehicle
<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">Public organizations are allowed to use abandoned vehicles. A municipal authority is allowed to either use an abandoned vehicle for public business or transfer ownership of said vehicle to another public organization, usually law enforcement. This is possible provided that local law doesn't dictate otherwise. In addition, no local authority is allowed to use more than 1 percent of the abandoned and unclaimed vehicles it recovers. Vehicle Owner's Liability
<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">If it can be proven that the owner of a vehicle purposely abandoned it, they can be fined up to $250 for doing so, with an extra $250 to $1,000 in cities of a million or more people. The last owner of an abandoned vehicle may have to cover the costs of transporting the vehicle as well
