Wis. Stat.
I'd say 1st step would be notify Police or Sheriff Dept. Checking to insure they're not stolen would be their concern. From what I can glean from the wordy statute, it looks like the authorities would do the legwork to contact the owner and end up putting it up for auction if the owner was non-responsive. I'd imagine re-titling the 'vette would be a fun time. |

From the WI DOT.
https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/vehicles/title-plates/property-abandon.aspx Give a 21 day notice to the owner, after that fill out an abandoned vehicle form along with the title application and wait. |

Doesn't that look like it pertains to tenant/landlord issues? If the vehicles owner isn't a tenant, not sure this would apply. But do realize, in reality, I haven't a clue - just parroting what I found in statutes.

Also the cars are hidden from the road so I dont think they qualify as an eyesore. I guess we'll just send registered letters to the last known address along with a 21 day timeframe. If no response, fill out the forms with the DMV. |

I went through this process about twenty years ago for a camper trailer that was left on property a friend had bought. Back then I was told by the DMV to give them 30 days. In my case there was apparently no owner or heirs interested. When the certified letter bounced back and I had waited the time, the DMV issued me a new title.

I did it 5-8 years ago for a Harley sportster
document how you acquired the vehicle, get a LEO to sign a form indicating the vin is what you say it is, surety bond (like an insurance policy incase the legal owner shows up), more paperwork with the dmv, then you're done is the fox body a convertible? Rusted? |
