oglander Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 There has been a car abandoned outside my house in Oglander Rd for nearly 3 months now & I'm getting a bit sick of it. The council are not interested in responding either by phone or email & the police don't seem interested either. It's a blue Ford Focus, unlocked & taxed. It's a perfectly good car & much newer than mine, so I presume it's been stolen & dumped. If anyone has any bright ideas please let me know. If anyone would like to do something with it, it's YJ82 MHD & it's between Marsden & Muschamp.

ed_pete Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 If it's taxed then I don't think the council can touch it.

jimlad48 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Ultimately there is nothing you can do. Its legally parked and taxed and parked in an area without a CPZ in force. Accordingly I'm afraid you're stuck with it for as long as people can park where they want. The only point you'll get interest is when the tax runs out. Yet another reason why CPZs are so valuable!

kford Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 No CPZ please. Just hop in it and roll it down the road.

ianr Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 DVLA says of registration number YJ82MHD "Vehicle details could not be found".

uncleglen Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 That does not look like a valid registration because of the '82'. The numbers started at '51' and we are currently on '17' i.e. April 2017.September last year was '66'https://www.autotrader.co.uk/content/advice/how-does-the-number-plate-system-work Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/164338-stolen-car-a-car-abandoned-outside-my-house-in-oglander-rd/#findComment-1168255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendelharris Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 If you've given the correct reg it's not a valid one - possibly reporting it to the police as a false plate might increase their interest? Also, how do you know it's taxed? If it has a tax disc showing that it has tax up to date, that's fake too - nobody's had a paper disc issued since September 2014, so maybe that might interest police as well.

flocker spotter Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This could be a valid plate if the J is a 1. Before 2001 year of registration was indicated by a letter at the start of the numberplate. This would then be a Y reg car from the year 2000. However, the 8 may be a 5 as mentioned above.

oglander Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 It's Y782 MHP, I think I typed it wrong & when I contacted DLA it was taxed. Am I stuck with it then? It could be there for ever!

oglander Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 I thought of that but if the steering's locked I could get into trouble! Maybe I should get it to the part of the road where there's CPZ & then perhaps the council would do something.

Siduhe Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Is the ref Y782MHD (not P)? If so looks like it is taxed but will be out of MOT on 17 September. They will have to move it for an MOT or it will be out of MOT and the police/council should then act.

oglander Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Ah! Thank you. It shouldn't be very important really, it's just a car, but this street is now so full of people with several cars & big ones at that, that we're all getting a bit possessive about space. Silly really to be so petty but - -!

hammerman Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Can understand how you feel oglander about dumped cars, taxis, lorries etc. and space. It sounds like you need a CPZ in your area!

Lynne Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 We only got rid of one that had been right outside our house for months (a newish BMW too) when the council re-did the surface of the road and towed cars away. So probably some-one else is cursing it now. I tried to get rid of it, but failed Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/164338-stolen-car-a-car-abandoned-outside-my-house-in-oglander-rd/#findComment-1168466 Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&G Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 If it's untaxed call the parking violations team. We've had a dumped car outside our house for 8 weeks. I called them and they removed it within 48 hours. Pretty impressive from the council!
