Free Mustang in Detroit, anybody looking for it ?

Raises an interesting point...at least to me. Say one were to go and find an abandoned car. How do you go about securing title? I presume effort has to be made to find the last legal owner. How do you do that as such information should not be publicly available?

Legal eagles and LEOs want to chime in?

I'm guessing it's a fresh stripped stolen car. Here in sunny California, if you have to go to Oakland, you'll find many cars sitting on side streets in the industrial areas in the same condition, sans snow dusting.

In Il a licensed tow/rebuilder certified company can take it if it's on a public way or one of their contracted lots/areas and file notice. After a period of time they file for a salvage title with the state.
 
A guy I know used to own a tow company. He had the nicest 65 GTO that he had gotten off the street as a tow and had never been claimed. The car was in pretty hard shape when he got it, but it is a head turner and show winner now.
