An abandoned vehicle is any vehicle in a state of disrepair rendering the vehicle incapable of being driven in its current condition or any vehicle that has not been moved or used for seven (7) consecutive days or more and is apparently deserted.
When a vehicle is deemed abandoned, a notice will be forwarded, by certified mail, to the registered owner informing the registered owner that the vehicle has been placed on the list of vehicles to be towed. The owner or person entitled to possession of the vehicle will have forty-eight (48) hours or two (2) business days from receipt of the certified letter to respond to the notice.
If you suspect a vehicle has been abandoned write down:
address where the vehicle is parked
type of vehicle (sedan, SUV, pickup, etc.)
make
model
color
license plate number of the vehicle
the date you first saw it abandoned
You can report an abandoned vehicle by calling the Berwyn Police Department non-emergency phone number (708-795-5600) and wait for the radio dispatcher to answer the phone. Provide the radio dispatcher with the information you have written down and an officer will be dispatched to investigate the situation.
