First off I am not asking anyone to do this for me I just need a procedure to get this done.

The story:
I went away on vacation. A couple days after I came back I notice two vans and a trailer in my back yard behind a barn. I thought maybe my neighbor took it upon himself to store stuff at my house while I was away....but that was not the case.
So I have to junker vans, and a trailer on my property and have no idea who owns them.
I just got a letter from the town stating that I can only have one unregistered vehicle on my property at a time...so what would be the best way to find out who owns these things?

Call the MSP and have them investigate? Call my local part time CLEO and have him call the MSP?
Any thoughts?
Are unregistered vehicles' VINs still kept in the RMV database?

Call your local PD. Part-time or otherwise they will be able to work on it,

yes the VIN number will still be in the registry system...Sometimes you can run the plate number on the sticker and obtain the vehicle information... If your local PD wants to they can find the owners of these primo vehicles and issue a citation for motor vehicle trespass.

Couldn't he just have them towed as a trespass tow and have the tow company find the owner?

Can't hurt to call the Lee Barracks, or stop in and let them know what the scoop is. If you do, I'd have the VIN numbers available if they are interested. Other than that, I'd say just have that crap towed off your property, billed to the clown that owns them.

I'd move my trailer to another park...sounds like the neighborhood's going down the toilet!

where I work, unless they have a contract with someone they don't like to get involved with private tows. They ask to get their money up front and this usually comes from the person requesting the tow.

Unless of course the vehicle is a newer one and they have something to gain from it.
