Truck left abandoned for 5 years at FJ where my gf manages

Why didn't they have it towed 4 years 11 months and 2 weeks ago?

 

I believe the court trustee would be the owner.

They probably didn’t know it was there. There’s been a box truck parked in a reserved spot in LaSalle IL for at least two months now.

 

It can’t be sold to anyone, pilot flying j corporate (not the location) can go through the court to take control of an abandon property but because the courts are involved with a bankruptcy on both sides of a border and the listing of assets have trucks in them, the court appointed manager is in control of the asset and trumps the state and any attempt to control the property. The state can not issue a conversion of the property to pilot flying j.

 

Look up the laws on abandons vehicles in your state.
In PA I have simply called the closest state police department. 20 min later they were there with a guy licensed for salvage in the state. It was gone in less than an hour.

 

At the TA in Columbia, New Jersey there is a trailer with US mail markings sitting in the same reserved parking spot that it has been in for several months. I just hope that poor TA gets to collect all the money that they are fairly owed for the privilege of that paid parking!
