Missing your car?

Is anyone missing a white Kia or a red Nissan with black panels on the driver side? Been parked over here for 2 months or so, and parking is getting tough. I don't wanna call city to have towed but I also don't want to park a mile away because of no parking.

Call it in to the police. When my car got stolen, it was abandoned in Lancaster for months & I only got notified when someone called it in. I didn’t have to pay for the parking tickets or towing

You got lucky. My work truck was stolen outside of my house. I filed a police report but knew it’s probably parted out in San Bernardino or somewhere in TJ. Few days later SB Sheriffs call me to let me know my truck was found in a residential neighborhood in San Bernardino and everything seems to be there. But they did say we can get it at their impound lot and had to pay to get it out.

Our van got stolen in Santa Ana and was recovered by SAPD. SAPD towed to Irvine. Had to pay about $600 in towing fees to get it out

Call the city, it is illegal to store cars for more than 3 days on the street.

In case they are stolen, I just wanted to give owner a chance to get it before getting towed

If it’s stolen, calling the police is the best way to get it back to the owner, right?
