I reported an abandoned vehicle to our council in November.
A 1 series BMW in a layby at the end of my road with both plates removed, its still there now. It gained a POLICE AWARE sticker in December but that's now fallen off due to weather/age. Nothing more happened with it.
But the above council will prepare to tug a car away for having rusty brakes, some old starbucks cups inside and knackered central locking 😂
EDIT: Is there a way to see if it has been reported stolen based on VIN? Didn't @SiC do something with that once?
