    That is more or less exactly the case - it mustn't be any different down here

    Tow it to someplace secure and chop it. That's what I'd do.

    Can't remember how many times this has happened outside the old place, just called the police and it's usually gone in a couple of days.

    Over here the go is REPORT it to the Police. Firstly they wack a dirty big sticker on it saying "this vehicle has been reported" they then check rego details etc,remove the plates if its unregoed and contact the owners.
    If it isnt shifted the Police then contact us to remove it/impound it.If its damaged already or not a nice car we use the forks to lift it into a sidetipper and off at the other end.

    Can it be deemed a hazard to traffic?
    If so the Council will usually remove it pronto.

    Revers into it and ring the police saying they hit your parked car and fled on foot?

    Legaly you have to report it and just wait.


    If you don't mind the rist and it's unlocked push it into the middle of the road and just go back to bed.

    [QUOTE=Lotz-A-Landies;972379]Basil is correct.


    Salvage rights are very difficult unless the car is parked outside your house in international waters.
