Abandoned Car on a lot acquired in tax sale
There's a car on one of the lots that I acquired from a tax sale. It's an old Chevy Impala and had all of its wheels taken off.
The redemption period has passed and I own the deed to the property. It is my understanding that everything that is on that lot belongs to me.
However, the issue with a car is tricky - it's not like most property since it has a title.
How do I go about getting ownership to the car? Am I within my rights to just scrap it?

@Joel Owens - I had a teacher in a property management class that way back in the day would fill evicted tenants cars with the items from inside the property and make sure the car was in a no parking zone. Obviously not a good solution anymore, just reminded me of it.
