There is a mitsubishi 4x4 parked nearby that has been in exactly the same 
spot for over a month now, beginning to look like it has been dumped.  It's 
not outside any houses, just parked in the road.

The chunky tires, mud splatter and 'devils pit' spare tyre cover suggest it 
was used for off roading.  Registration ending WPT.

Anyone recognise it?

you could contact the police/council incase it has been stolen and
dumped?, or do you think it just broke down and got abandoned?

Our local council have a dedicated number to call for suspected abandoned 
vehicles.  Out here, we get quite a  number of dumped MoT failures, and a 
few torched in farmers' fields.  I reported one last month and it was gone 
within 48 hours.  One of the few things our LA seem to do properly.

Perhaps you could give it a new home. I'd be tempted. Think of the money 
you'd save the local council in removal fees... You'd be doing a public 
service.

Provided the owner doesn't report it as stolen to the police!  Then

I once read that you can legally take ownership of a vehicle that you 
believe ( and that you can prove) has been abandoned.

I seen to remember it was under Section 7 of the Road Traffic Act.

Is this still the case?

If so i guess its not so easy as it sounds!

Oh, I dunno.  If it were a Landrover all you neeed is a suitable window 
opener (brick) and a screwdriver.  Mitsubishi's on t'other hand often have 
quite sophisticated immobilisers on 'em.

you could contact the police/council incase it has been stolen and
dumped?, or do you think it just broke down and got abandoned?

Our local council have a dedicated number to call for suspected abandoned 
vehicles.  Out here, we get quite a  number of dumped MoT failures, and a 
few torched in farmers' fields.  I reported one last month and it was gone 
within 48 hours.  One of the few things our LA seem to do properly.

Perhaps you could give it a new home. I'd be tempted. Think of the money 
you'd save the local council in removal fees... You'd be doing a public 
service.

Provided the owner doesn't report it as stolen to the police!  Then
you'd be in the shit..

I once read that you can legally take ownership of a vehicle that you 
believe ( and that you can prove) has been abandoned.

I seen to remember it was under Section 7 of the Road Traffic Act.

Is this still the case?

If so i guess its not so easy as it sounds!

Oh, I dunno.  If it were a Landrover all you neeed is a suitable window 
opener (brick) and a screwdriver.  Mitsubishi's on t'other hand often have 
quite sophisticated immobilisers on 'em.

For info, I've copied your post the Pajero Owner's Club forum (pocuk.com) 
in case it's a member's car that's been stolen.

you could contact the police/council incase it has been stolen and
dumped?, or do you think it just broke down and got abandoned?

Our local council have a dedicated number to call for suspected abandoned 
vehicles.  Out here, we get quite a  number of dumped MoT failures, and a 
few torched in farmers' fields.  I reported one last month and it was gone 
within 48 hours.  One of the few things our LA seem to do properly.

Perhaps you could give it a new home. I'd be tempted. Think of the money 
you'd save the local council in removal fees... You'd be doing a public 
service.

Provided the owner doesn't report it as stolen to the police!  Then
you'd be in the shit..

I once read that you can legally take ownership of a vehicle that you 
believe ( and that you can prove) has been abandoned.

I seen to remember it was under Section 7 of the Road Traffic Act.

Is this still the case?

If so i guess its not so easy as it sounds!

Oh, I dunno.  If it were a Landrover all you neeed is a suitable window 
opener (brick) and a screwdriver.  Mitsubishi's on t'other hand often have 
quite sophisticated immobilisers on 'em.
