What is the legal procedure for this?



Suppose there is an abandoned motorcycle in a local park. Its a trail bike so its not road legal or registered with the DVLA. Presumably the bike has been nicked by some little scrote and dumped. Its been there a week or so in full view but nobody cares and nobody has moved it. I want to take it home and fix it up or use it for spares. Is there any way I can do this legally?

im not for sure but im pretty sure it would have to be towed and impound sumwhere and then sold because no matter if it has been left there sumone owns it and has the title and if it was just taken and they went there to look for it or have it being looked for because it was stolen and they find you with it you might get in some trouble i would try gettin it police impound because if none claims the bike then buy it from there cuz then it be legal because no claimed it thats the best thing i could think of
M A K E sure it is not a plant by your local police FORGET ABOUT IT, not worth it...
hand it in to the police station and after i think it is 6 months the property will be handed to you because no one has claimed it ;)
First, you need to turn it in to police and possibly if no one claims it, you may get it. It's nof 'finders keepers'
I wouldn't as it's probably been reported stolen and you WILL be charged with Vehicle theft (it will still have a VIN number or similar) if your found in possession of it. I have heard it is possible to 'claim' an abandoned vehicle like with lost properly. Ask the DVLA/police. Cheaper for them if you take it away!!
LIfe
If you are really looking for a legal answer you should call the local police. I think that ethically and morally you can take it after a week sitting there and use it. I would believe (as you said) that it has been dumped for some reason. Also it might be important that you have a clean record if there ever is any follow up. good luck!
