Well that in itself is highly suspicious. Has anyone thought
of reporting the car's presence to the police, just to
determine its status?


I haven't and I am not going to - but that's because I want a
free car.


You might get a free stay in one of HM's establishments if it has
been used for anything odd.


If you report it to the police, and no-one claims it, in six
months it's yours (if I have my facts right). Since you are happy
to store it for Mr Plod for the 6 months they'll be glad you
called.


I thought it was 3 months BICBW?

I thought it was an easy matter to get the owner's details as long
as you have good cause. In this case ARW could be enquiring who
the registered keeper is regarding "storage costs" on behalf of
the warehouse owner!?


is it just me that imagines the storage costs might equal if not
exceed the value of the paddy wagon? ;)

That's my point, but if at least you have tacit agreement regarding the
disposal then no criminal act will have taken place.

Adam could then have a more legitimate title to the car, or at least one
that can't be challenged in the criminal courts.
