What is the law in Arizona to get an abandoned title on a quad that was found in the desert?

Answer 1

I would suggest getting the VIN off the quad to make sure it was abandoned by the owner and/or called a total loss in an insurance claim. Or find out if it is stolen property, which in this case getting the title will get you in hot water.

"The person who has possession of the vehicle shall submit an abandoned vehicle report"

this was the best I could find as far as far as AZ law. Put the Vin through CarFacts or your insurance rep can do a search.

"If recently lost or abandoned property, or even property purposely secreted and hidden by the owner, is found, regardless of on whose property it is found, the finder may claim that property for themselves. There are of course a variety of limitations made to that claim. First, a serious effort needs to be made to find the original owners, who, the law suggests, retain their ownership. For various types of property various time frames are imposed for this search to be accomplished. During this period, the property may have to be deposited with a neutral party, such as the police agency of the area. But if, at the end of the search period, the owner has not come forward, it is the collector, not the landowner, who has rights to the property."
