Run a check on the license plate and find the owner's address. Show up at owner's house, demand that they remove their car. If they refuse, return later that evening and murder them in their sleep.

Less violent option: make tender love to them in their sleep.

In Arkansas they won't reveal the info from the tag unless there is a law enforcement purpose. I wonder if the law in California is the same.

Here in ohio the vin will find you the owner/lien holder. I've used it to get finders fees on cars people are hiding from the repo man.

Are you wearing a disguise?
Meaning?

Edit: Oh, I see... you can see my reflection in the car window! Ha!! I do look like Marlowe or something in a Humphrey Bogart movie... the detective! No, that's my every day garb ATM around the house.

Can you pull the PRNDL gear shifter light from that Versa in the background please?

lol I don't know why this made me laugh. I'm just picturing everyone calling dibs on different parts and the OP going to dismantle the car to sell off the parts.

By the time the owner shows up it would just be the chassis on blocks. :p

Can we get a picture of these personal effects behind the front seats you mentioned? There could be something of, interest, in there.
Ach. I will attempt to describe it, beyond that I think might an an invasion of privacy? What caught my attention only was a new-looking, very tall pair of sheepskin boot-slipper house shoes, each with two cute pink bows attached behind the lower calf. I think that would signal female ownership, at least for the footwear.

Edit: On second thought, you never know, there's quite a lot of LGBTQ folks in the region. Maybe they are Johnny Weir's? Conceivable...

You look like Lieutenant Provenza from "The Closer" and "Major Crimes".

Actually isin't it illegal to park on the street overnight in winter? This messes up snow removal crews. Given it's been there so long call the bylaw officer and they might get it towed or at very least fine the owner. Not that there is any snow on the ground from looks of it, but bylaw officers don't care about that. The law is the law.

Varies from place to place. Around here it's only when the city announces "snow emergency in effect" and there's a sort of a phased process.

No snow, no snow emergency, no problem.

It's illegal in my town but nobody pays attention. Even when it snows they just plow around the cars on the street and don't give any tickets.
Tickets, schmickets, MPLS will tow your ass. You sleep in on a Saturday morning, your car's gone.
