Default Re: Legal Ownership of a Car

I believe here in AZ that there is something regarding abondoned vehicles. If the vehicle sits long enough, someone can file a claim with the DMV. The DMV will run a search for the last registered owner and see if they can locate them. If the owner can not be located, there is a process that the person can go through to title the vehicle in their name. A friend did this on a Ford truck that was on a piece of property his family bought. When no one claimed the vehicle, he was able to take ownership. Later found out the truck had a Cobra Jet motor in it.
