Unknown vehicle towed to and parked in front of own house

Jacky Johnson
Posted

I have installed surveillance camera in the front of my house and 3 days ago it captured that a pickup truck towed a coupe (a type of car) to the front of my house and the coupe has been since parked in front of my house. I don't think the coupe belongs to any of my close neighbors as I have not seen this coupe before. It also captured someone opening the door of the coupe but left soon afterwards. I inspected the coupe through the window and it appears the car hasn't been driven for a long time and there was dust accumulation inside. Today marks the 4th day of the coupe being parked in front of my house and I looked up my city's vehicle abatement code enforcement that if a vehicle appears to have been abandoned on a street for more than 72 hours that I can call the abandoned vehicle hotline in the police department. I'm considering calling the hotline but concern if the owner of the vehicle may retaliate. I have a feeling that since the coupe was parked in front of my house, the owner may be around. Any suggestions on how I should proceed? Thank you.

@Jacky Johnson, does the car have a current registration? If so, then you can call, otherwise you have no reason to be concerning yourself with public parking. This isn't YOUR private parking, this is PUBLIC parking on a PUBLIC street.
