There are statutes which exist that cover situations such as these. Check with your local law enforcement agency to determine how the laws address "abandonment" of property in your state. You may be required to show a good faith effort to locate the owner and/or their heirs - also - if the vehicle was validly registered and titled with the state DMV you may also have to contact them since the vehicle ownership records probably still exist in their files. After all this time you may be entitled to claim the vehicle for the money owed for storage, if nothing else.

The difference is that an owner sometimes borrows money to get the car, in return he agrees to pay monthly installments until the borrowed amount is paid off, the lender holds the title to the car.
