What can someone do with a junk vehicle abandoned on their property?
Iowa law allows any person, firm, corporation or unit of government upon whose property or in whose possession is found any abandoned motor vehicle, or any person being the owner of a motor vehicle whose title certificate is faulty, lost or destroyed and is thereby unable to transfer title to the motor vehicle, may apply to the police authority of the jurisdiction in which the motor vehicle is situated for authority to sell, give away or otherwise dispose of the motor vehicle to a demolisher.
