SOT: Stealing abandoned cars (in this case a Delorean!)

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

PS: My boss has a "nice" DeLorean.  It looks nice, but they totally suck.  120hp V6, poor visibility, 2800lb.  They drive well to him, compared to his '72 vette, but it's crap compared to a Rocco.  Good car to sell if in decent shape, but don't get convinced to keep it.  My boss's car has been more trouble to maintain than you could imagine.

Does anyone know if there's any way to rescue an abandoned car<br>legally?  There's a delorean that has been sitting in a parking lot<br>where I keep my cars - it's tires are flat, it's filthy, and it's been<br>sitting there for years.  It does, however, seem to have an up to date<br>sticker on the license plate, so the owner might be coming by annually<br>to change it.  There's a note in the window about "if there are<br>problems call " and a number, but the ink is so sunfaded it's<br>disappeared and you literally have to read it by the impression the<br>ballpoint pen left in the paper.  The lot is being repaved in the<br>coming weeks so the car has to move by tonight anyways, and I'm almost<br>positive that the owner has not been informed, because midshipmen are<br>the only ones allowed to park there and he certainly doesn't go to my<br>school, at least not anymore.<br><br>I want it.  I want to steal it and if it's not running fix it up, and<br>drive it for a while and then 
maybe sell it for profit.<br><br>I know there are procedures for picking up abandoned cars, paying any<br>state fees required, and registering them to yourself, but I'm not<br>familiar with them.  Maybe having to do with liens of some sort?  Can<br>I check the car out somehow from the VIN/plate number?  Does anyone<br>know the procedures for something like this.  Car is located in and<br>registered in Maryland.<br><br>-Grant-<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Scirocco-l mailing list<br>Scirocco-l@scirocco.org<br>http://neubayern.net/mailman/listinfo/scirocco-l<br>
