Nuisance Parking and Abandoned Vehicles

What you can do about abandoned vehicles

If you know the vehicle owner, our first advice would be to ask them politely to move it. After all, they may not be aware they’re causing a problem.

However, do not take the law into your own hands by intervening, such as making physical threats or attempting to move the vehicle yourself. You may make the situation worse and even risk committing an offence yourself.

You can check online if a vehicle has valid insurance, tax or MOT, as these could be indicators that a vehicle is abandoned.

If you find an abandoned vehicle that doesn’t appear to be stolen, please report it online, we will aim to trace the vehicle’s owner and arrange for it to be removed.

If you find an abandoned vehicle that you believe could be stolen, please Contact Lincolnshire police on 101 or use the online reporting facility Reporting & Advice (lincs.police.uk)
