    It would be a lot easier if we knew what state you were in. every state is different. Be careful I legally removed 8 vehicles from a lot for Wallgreens Drug Store and spent 2 days in jail and a year fighting grand theft charges before I could prove my innocence and legal right and permission to take said vehicles.



    Remember today's justice system is based on how much justice you can afford.
    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"

    wadarbr549 - That is exactly the info I was looking for, thank you.

    Pnutfarmer - Great idea, that's exactly what I was hoping to do but wasn't sure how affordable it would be. Probably the cheapest option for me, thanks.

    olddude- I'm currently in Missouri for the moment.

    src3collector & olddude - I appreciate the legal foresight. I was planning on getting the apartment manager's written consent as well as the highway patrol (as suggested by the local scrap yard) to investigate and sign-off on the car as being abandoned and "for the taking." The two things I want to avoid are 1. Scrapping/stealing someone's "fixer-upper car" and 2. Getting arrested for any variety of stupid reasons.
