Oakland's Abandon Car Towing Business

How are abandoned vehicles identified? Some of the vehicles may belong to the person living in the block and they have no other place to park a car but on the street until they can have it fixed.

This gets abandoned cars off the street. Once people know they can’t just leave their cars on the street without them being towed, they may consider other options than just dumping the car. And if the car is just dumped, then it allows the city to quickly dispose of them.
