abandoned car

Fuck claiming anything. Just part the car out and keep the money. Then walk away when all the good parts are gone.

I need a car though, I don't have a car. What your saying is smart. But I'm willing to go through the trouble of getting this car up to use daily then scrap it for parts and find a car to buy. It looks like a good car just needs a jump to start and get the pink slip/keys from the dealer. The guy left all the paperwork except the pink slip in the trunk

Whose parking lot?

You can't just claim an abandoned car. Chances are likely that it was stolen and ditched there or was left by the owner because they couldn't make their payments.

You keep saying paperwork. The only paperwork a car has is the title. And since you said the pink slip, I assume you mean title, isn't there you've got nothing proving you can rightfully take ownership of it. If you were to approach a dealership about it they would laugh at you. Filing for a lost title would require you to have proven ownership via the VIN being linked to your name. Any other options available to you would be considered fraud.

Especially if it is left abandoned on private property, I. E. Your apartment complex's parking lot. If it is to become anyone's property it is the property of that complex or whatever towing agency is in charge of maintaining the lot.
