Can you legally claim it and then sell it? I assume you don’t have the paperworks but can you do an eminent domain style takeover ?

Don’t just tow it on the street, the Manchester PD will ticket you; those guys are strange. They will say you are obstructing traffic.

Until you are designated as the new owner, I wonder if someone else can just take it off your hands. This thing will be passed around like a hot potato.

Maybe have them run the vin to see if it’s registered to someone.
