Hi all,
I've been reading about applying for a title on abandoned vehicles in Colorado. I'm currently working for an apartment complex and a nice not wrecked Early 2000s Mercedes ML 450 has been sitting for 3 months. Has anyone on Bitog successfully done this? According to local rules "abandoned " is anything on private property that has sat longer than 48 hours without owner approval. I'm trying to get a jump on this as a scrap car company occasionally shows up and they junk everything they tow. Supposedly in Colorado you have to call a tow company, then they have to hold it for 60 days to allow the original owners to claim it. Then have the local Sheriff's office run the vin to make sure it's not stolen etc. Then you can apply for a new title on the vehicle. Has anyone ever done this. The steps seem a little daunting as i don't know if the tow company would want to hold it that long. Supposedly the original owners would get the impound fee, I wouldn't pay it. All help appreciated.
