First step would be to go down to the courthouse and find out who owns the property. In Florida it's the Property Appraisers office and the owner info is online, but whoever is responsible for collecting taxes on the land will know the owner's address. If the car doesn't belong to them they can likely tell you who owns it or at least authorize you to remove it from their property if it's abandoned. The DMV should be able to tell you how to legally obtain title to an abandoned vehicle.

Or you could invest $50 or so and consult an attorney for a half hour.

Seriously -- a bump on a post you made less than 3 hours before?

First step -- learn some patience because it will most likely take some time to get the car if you are in fact serious enough....

out here if you apply for a lost or abandoned tittle, all they do is try to contact the owner, If they don't answer the car is yours.

Amen, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I love this sentence.  Its like your responding to someone telling you that you have a buddy with a truck and a chain and you are agreeing to it.:rollin:
its not illegal to know a buddy with a chain and a truck.:flip:


seriously,, just go to the tax asessors office and from there, its all public information.

around here you would write to the owner and wait for them to reply.
