That reminds me of a guy I know who tried to get the council to shift an abandoned car on the street outside his house. The council did not want to get involved. It was an old wreck and clearly abandoned. After getting no joy from the council for some time the guy put some fish parts inside the car left them for a few days then told the council there was a health hazard outside his house, so they investigated and removed the car.

See if you can get the VIN number and do a free online revs check on it. That way you should be able to see any outstanding interests on it, check with the RTA (or similar) then contact the council.

Got me wondering about if I could claim it for myself...

I presumed it was stolen and dumped, and didn't really want to get involved :P

You see similar things like that with commodores; although most of them have been in an accident and then dumped.
