This seems to vary between local Streets and Sanitation Department policy but most information suggests "seven consecutive days" as the minimum criteria.

In Chicago, for instance, a vehicle can be classified as abandoned if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

  • On a public way in a state of disrepair as to be incapable of being driven in its present condition.
  • Has not been moved or used for more than seven consecutive days and is apparently deserted.
  • Has been left on the public way without state registration or a temporary state registration placard for two or more days.
  • Is a hazardous dilapidated vehicle left in full view of the general public, whether on public or private property.
You'll want to contact your local Streets and Sanitation Department for the most accurate information.

How do you get an abandoned car?

Do you mean how do you buy an abandoned car or how do you find an abandoned car?? You can buy an abandoned car thru a car auction...find the nearest place by googleing for a auction house nearest you or calling some used car lots if there is not a listing. How do you find an abandoned car?? First call the police and file a report. They will give you the name of one or two (if not more) towing companies that picked up the cars and store them. You can call around, find the car and go redeem it. Good luck!

What is an abandoned car?

An abandoned car is a vehicle that is left in one spot for several weeks/months. Often these vehicles have been vandalized or just have trash inside and on the underside of the vehicle helping you spot it to be abandoned. If you see a car you think is abandoned you should contact your local police so they can investigate it and not touch it. It may have been used on a crime or just left to rot.
