It is a bipartisan boot on the neck in this case.

Greed. Politicians see it as a potential revenue source instead of as a freedom. They can't sell it in state limo stores as long as it is scheduled and would rather lock up their own citizens for a plant than let the legal private market have access.

These things are a bitch to scrap and have surprisingly little value. The salvage value of the metals are offset by the disposal fee of the carpet, insulation, furniture, roofing vinyl, etc.

Dumping, illegal parking and trespassing are all crimes. That the police are not investigating it it (especially given how easy it is to run the tags) is pure laziness.

100% bs that the cops won't take the time to look up the owner. Dumping, and illegal parking isllare a crimes, and they are refusing to investigate it.

Call the police and keep complaining about it until they send someone willing to do their job. A mid-level detective makes around $83k per year in base wages before any overtime or hazard pay (which can be significant), keep raising a stink until one of them does something to earn that paycheck.

You DO need a bill of sale. Forging that is not a good idea.
