Surely you would know if your own car was insured, why would you need a website to check that
I've used it to check that my renewal has gone through, so I can apply for the road tax online.

Ask Edna. She'll know.

Re post #40. I don't think it could be classed as theft. The definition of theft, as I understand it, is to deprive the owner permanently of his/her property. No such intention here. Push it round the corner

We used to do this at the Black Lion in Patcham- old bill wouldn't move them so we did... always went quickly when A23 became a bit backed up..

The guy is talking complete bollocks. Is your road a private one? Even if it is, from an insurance perspective, it is still counted as the public highway, as is supermarket car parks, leisure centre car parks and in fact any area where you have reasonable, unhindered access.

You're not reporting a crime at all, you're reporting an abandoned car and potentially some motoring offences. Notwithstanding, the advice from the PCSO is not correct.

What car is it? Anything retro and cool or just a shitter?

That's what I think. 100% not a private road

I love cars so if it was something decent I would understand. But it's an absolute dump - 20 year old ford mondeo.

Can you not find out who the registered keeper is? Must be someone in your close - try door-to-door until someone fesses up.
Then have a conversation about it with the owner - if the convo doesn't go to your liking, go vigilante as others have suggested.
I live in a close where some of it is public highway and some is private drive. If the vehicle is on private land, it's up to the land owners to take action - assuming shared drive scenario, again, discuss with neighbours [fellow shared land owners] and see if a consensus for action can be agreed.
