Most of the time, cars abandoned on private properties are no longer in running order, and are so cheap the owner doesn't even care to fix them anymore, as these wrecks might not deserve a second chance. But there are also other things to consider.
Ever since we started this series of articles about how to title an abandoned vehicle, we told you that Vermont is a very good place to live in, and now we'll tell you why. Also, in Virginia, local authorities understood that by helping people claim abandoned relics from their property they'd ease the pressure on law enforcement agencies.
Both Texas and Utah allow the bonded-title procedures, but usually those who found vehicles on their properties are trying to avoid that step, so they'll have a clean title as soon as possible.
I see how piling rust buckets in a yard on the side of the highway might be an unpleasant view. Still, I can't understand why in some cases those who find them can't get a title and try giving these cars a new life, or sell them for restoration projects.
Most states allow landowners to claim the cars they found on their properties or even on public ones. But that might lead to suspicious activities, and that's why some states are stricter and others just cautious with the abandoned cars' issue.
