Abandoned vehicle?

[T-Roy]

Question for anyone with experience/knowledge about a situation I'm in.

Last year I gave an old vehicle to a coworker. Apparently he never retitled it and abandoned it. Today I get a certified letter from a tow yard saying that I owe towing and storage and that if I don't claim the vehicle they'll auction it and report any fees above the value to the state as income for me (like a credit write-off)

What will happen if I just tell them it isn't mine and ignore this? No I don't have a BOS

No, I don't want the vehicle.

What kind of car is it? Does it run? If it's a decent car, you can. Give it to me and I'll pay the tow and storage...

Probably not worth it. It's a mid 90's S10 blazer 2wd. Ran fine, Dad got a new truck. Sat for a few years. Dad died. Got it running but rough, figured it needed fresh gas and a tune up. Ex had it towed to a dealership she used to work at to get gone over for our son. Ended up buying him a newer car and gave the keys, title, and location to a friend in need. I'd imagine it never left the dealership. Dad did put a new motor in it at one point, probably 5k on the motor @ most. Currently owe $200 and accruing @ $25 a day.

Throw the letter in the trash and forget about it.


Few things in life are certain, but you can be certain it won't sell for more than the fees and storage.

BTW, I'm serious about my advice.

Had the same thing happen back in January for a motorcycle I sold in 2016. I called the number on the letter and told them I had sold it, didn't want it, and would not pay any fees pertaining to it. They filed it as abandoned/no ownership and the state auctioned it off.

Make sure you're clear that you have no claim so they can't come back and say you owe anything. They'll tack on a bunch of fees and, next thing you know, you have a lien against you.

Where's it at? I might give you the amount plus a little for it?
