Yesterday the Constable and I met at the house where I evicted my tenants (same house with the 8 craters in the backyard). The house was empty, tenants were gone and there was no damage to the house. That is the good news.

As you know, all evicted tenants seem to leave something behind. My tenants have left a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu parked in the garage.

This Chevy appears well kept and a nice looking car too. The only problem is the car has no wheels on it and the car is sitting on concrete blocks! Actually, the front disc brakes are touching the concrete floor! Plus, this car has no license plate on it either which means this car has been here for awhile.

Twice yesterday I called my evicted tenants and left messages for them to move this car now. They are not returning my calls.

The Constable told me I can have it towed off.

How does a towing company tow a car with no wheels on it? All you see is 4 rusted disc brake rotors,...that is it. Whoever removed the wheels, ..did leave all of the lug nuts.

I will take a photo of this car and post it here later on. How long would you allow the car to stay there before you called a towing company? I do want my garage back.

Sounds like a Winter-Beater.

I will call the towing company today and tell them if the car is still there at 9:00a.m. Saturday morning,...it is theirs for the taking. If this car runs, I would assume it is worth at least $2,000.00.

Does it look like it may run? Here cars like that which run could sell for a pretty good price. Check with DMV to see if you can get title for storage fees. If you can, file for it if you think the car might run. Then get some used rims and tired from a junkyard, put them on and sell it. Do online research to see what value is.

Even if it's really junk, you might get $200-500 from a junk yard if you look around.

I work at a towing company in Va and deal with this type of situation often. It is very easy to resolve. Call a towing company and simply tell them you want the car off your property. Tell them there are no wheels on it.

Too bad the craters in your backyard weren't so large you could push this car into one of them and just cover it up with dirt.

Some charities will tow away the vehicle. You get the donation amount to deduct from your taxes. At least this year, who knows about deducting it next year. Most want the title signed over though, but it can't hurt to ask.

Problem I ran into in NH with a junker ... nobody would take a car less than 10 yo without the title. Had to call the police ... they authorized the tow.

Have dragged several to the street since we didn't have title. Don't get caught doing it by cops though.

Coulda been Roy's Chop Shop.

In the late 1980's through 2001 I owned a towing company here in New Jersey. Like Patrick [VA] stated who also has a towing company, we handled abandoned cars basically like he did, HOWEVER we hated getting these type of cars. Why? They take up room, they are basically worthless junk, since your tenants's car had no wheels makes it more of a p.i.t.a. to move and 30 days of storage fees will never be recovered. As a side note, when ever we did police tows for low lifes that were caught driving without insurance, registration or valid license and the car was usually crap, many times we get stuck with it since the car cannot be released without police authorization and many times these low lifers cannot afford to resolve their problems with the municipality to get the car released. Also, in these same cases, whenever the owner comes to the tow yard to remove their personal belongings, they seldom return to get their cars out of impound. I'm sure Patrick [VA] has experienced this many times.
