Is it legal to seize a tenant's abandoned car?

Hello BP!

A couple of months ago I chose not to renew a problem tenant's lease in one of my multifamily units.  He owes roughly $2,000 in unpaid rent, late charges, and for damage to the property. 

The manager has left several messages asking him to remove his car from the lot and I'm sure I could have the car impounded.  I'm curious if there is a legal means by which I could seize the car and sell it to cover some of the money this tenant owes me?

Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!
