§ 2152. Authorized removal of abandoned motor vehicles

• (a) Public property. A law enforcement officer is authorized to remove or cause removal of an abandoned
  motor vehicle from public property, and may contact a towing service for its removal,
  based upon personal observation by the officer that the vehicle is an abandoned motor
  vehicle. (b) Private property. (1) A law enforcement officer is authorized to remove or cause removal of an abandoned
  motor vehicle from private property, and may contact a towing service for its removal,
  based upon the request of the landowner on whose property the vehicle is located and
  information indicating that the vehicle is an abandoned motor vehicle. (2) A landowner of private property is authorized to remove or cause removal of an abandoned
  motor vehicle from that property or to any other place on any property of the landowner,
  and may contact a towing service for its removal. A landowner who removes or causes
  removal of an abandoned motor vehicle shall immediately notify the police agency in
  the jurisdiction from which the vehicle is removed and provide the registration plate
  number, the public vehicle identification number, if available, and the make, model,
  and color of the vehicle. The landowner may remove the vehicle from the place where
  it is discovered to any other place on any property owned by him or her, or cause
  the vehicle to be removed by a towing service under the provisions of this subsection,
  without incurring any civil liability to the owner of the abandoned vehicle. (Added 2003, No. 101 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2015, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 77.)
