MOVING OUT, WALKING AWAY, AND LEAVING PROPERTY BEHIND

The Volvo, shown below, has been sitting on private property at 130 Caldecott Lane, Oakland with windows open, and doors unlocked for 10 months.


This car was made inoperable in a collision.




Dogs have deposited “droppings” in front of the car and leaves have gathered there.

Having read about the Abandoned Vehicle program, the vehicle was reported to the Oakland Police Department during the second week of January 2013.

The vehicle was tagged on 1/16/13 and both the property owner and the vehicle owner were notified. The deadline to address the issue of abandonment expired after 1/26/13.

However, the Volvo is still claiming possession of the property while owners of operable cars fight for a parking spot . . . 


As to the abandoned motorcycle at the back of 130 Caldecott Lane, it has been removed but the underbelly of the simulated leather sofa is still exposed to the elements, and lays amid construction debris.

But we won't "abandon" our efforts and neither should you!
