What's the point in posting something like this , you've obviously just read through this so I guess that makes you a "Flippin muppet" .

Back on topic , if it was me id ring the police as like said someone could be looking for it however seeing as you say its parked across from a police station it could of been stolen and not yet reported .

dunx hit the nail on the head there also if you phone the police and its T&T as well as insured they wont do nothing, even if its sat right outside your window.

dvla take 4-6 weeks, they will contact the address on the v5, the owner then has 4 weeks to reply. if they have no reply they then send you the logbook within the next 2 weeks.

personally i'd go over the road to the station and mention it. give it another month and if still nothing i'd go ahead and contact dvla.

 

This may be of some help.

there is a fiat people carrier next to my garage been there since i moved in 18 months ago whats the score with getting it removed/scrapped

its in **** state bumps,scrapes, not a single tyre with air in, moldy defo been dumped is this council or police job

 

Go to askmid.com and see if it's insured
If it isn't maybe it has bin abandoned

 

Some poor old guy has had a flat tyre, walked it home and fell, gone to hospital with a broken hip and is sitting in a bed worrying about his little 53 plate car.

Check if its insured. If it is, someones obviously paying for it so leave it.

 

update - cars not insured,tax runs out end of this month,told police and they towed it away 10am today.

Maybe the police station across the road have planted it and watching fo somebody to try and steal it or try and claim a log book for it LOL

 

when the tax runs out it will be towed away and crushed if parked on the road, if the police arnt intersted in it then its not stolen, ask your neighbours, if they dont know anything then id apply for the v5 and at least park it on your property for a while, if nobody turns up its yours.
If the owner wanted it it wouldnt be there, surely they would have had a friend pick it up or something.
maybe it just had a problem and the owner couldnt be arsed sorting it.
Its your decision in the end but id claim it.

 

the police might of planted the car? i no round ere they plant cars quite alot... then they pretty much wait for people to start 'messing' with it... then ur F****ked lol

 

It takes over 3 months from start to finish when trying to claim a logbook and thats if somebody doesnt contest the change

I buy a lot of cars from auction and know never to buy one with no V5

 

and lol doesnt meen it isnt

 

deanb1980 - as ive said in a previous post the car was uninsured,tax runs out end of month.after informing police they said that the car wasn't stolen/involved in criminal activity.

As Jamz says and as clearly shown on the V5, that document is not proof of ownership, it means you are the vehicle keeper - any tax disc renewals, claims against the vehicle etc. will be sent to your address.

The owner is the buyer of the car and will have the receipt of purchase, or if it was given as a gift, some evidence that that was the case.

Who is the legal owner?

The legal owner is the owner of the car, that is, the person who has a legally enforceable claim to the car. That person has the right to sell the vehicle while the registered keeper is not in a position to do that (if registered keeper and owner are different).

so how the hell do you prove a car is yours then in the V5 isnt proof of ownership?

 

receipt with your name on from who or were you brought car

 

Police informed, Car towed, JOB DONE...THREAD CLOSED! ;-)

 

I still can't believe that the DVLA would write to the RK of a car just become someone passing by has taken a fancy to it, and that if you don't reply then they issue a new V5

How do you prove that anything is yours if you want to sell it?

 

Funny as fck ^^^

 

i found a 205 gti a few years back,with wing damage been there for mths just parked up ,i took it fixed it and got the logbook did a text check and then sold it on ebay
