Found a car, help needed

cathy01

Hi guys there has been a car abandoned in the town where I live.It was suggested not to give the location incase someone comes and robs it.
Anyway for what ever reason the Garda are not interested.The car is an 03D Saab.
I have photos of the NCT Tax and Insurance and they seem in date.The car is there a few weeks now.Any idea how to let the owner know their car is here.FBD is the insurance company so I will contact them when they open on Monday.Any ideas.Anyone know a person missing a 03 Saab.should I post the full reg on Facebook and ask people to share.One of.my.friends had her 04 Clio robbed the other day .I'd hate to think this owner had their car robbed and there it is now .

If it's taxed and insured the Gardaí won't care, not that they care much even if it isn't. Give your litter warden a call and say you suspect that the car has been dumped, they are usually proactive with littering and abandoning a car is littering.

Obviously murdered the owner and attempting to throw the Guards off his/her scent.

Maybe because he's a decent person trying to do someone a favour?

If that was my SAAB I'd be bloody happy if somebody reported it's whereabouts.

Probably just parked up...guards would know if it had been reported stolen(that's why they they are not interested) ...not much guards can do if it's not causing a problem where it is parked...
If car is just abandoned it would the litter warden or county council, I doubt it's just abandoned if tax and insurance are in order.

If it had been reported as missing, gardai would know and pass details.

As it obviously hasn't, it is absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with gardai.

Doesn't stop some people whining though.

Report it to litter warden and let insurance co know - that's as much as you can do.

Diabhalta

is the car locked?

BettePorter

How do u know its been abandoned? Couldn't it be a neighbours relative who has just gone abroad? If its legally parked what's the issue?

Buffman

It could belong to these guys!:D


Seriously though Cathy, if it's fully road legal, parked legally and you've informed the Gardai (and as a result we can assume it's not stolen), I don't think there's much more you can do. The only other thing you can check is that the numbers on the discs match the number plates.

Fair play to you for reporting it, if it's still there in a year and a day you should claim it yourself!:D
