Yeah, I thought about that and agree. Might as well just call and see what’s up!

I suppose it's probably safer not to ignore it. Worst case scenario I will just have to sign over the title to them. Thanks I will need it 🤣

No worries. Hopefully the tow company doesn’t try and pull a fast one on you and your car gets more than $500 at auction. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. How lovely that the tow company is closed before I even get off work -_-

The car will be auctioned off after a specific period of time. The sale price will be applied to the debt you owe for towing and storage fees, which, by the way continue daily until the car is disposed of. Deal with it now, save some money and your credit rating.

Thank you

“Once the towing company has your vehicle for 120 hours, they consider it and any campers, snowmobiles, jet skis, or other cars attached to or on the towed vehicle abandoned.

After it has your vehicle for 120 hours, the tow company must give DoL an abandoned vehicle report. Within 72 hours of getting that report, DoL must give the tow company your contact info.

Within 24 hours of getting your contact info, not counting weekends or holidays, the towing company must mail you a notice of custody and sale. It must get proof of mailing from the post office.

If 15 days or more have passed since mailing the notice of custody and sale, and you have not gotten your car back or challenged the towing, the towing company will sell the car and registered or titled property at public auction. Any time before the auction, you can buy back the property by paying towing and storage fees.

*The towing company must run the auction date and time in the newspaper. You can try to buy your things back at the auction.

After the auction, you may still owe the towing company up to $500 if their costs are more than what they got from selling your car. You may owe more if law enforcement authorized the impoundment.”

As someone who lives in a quiet Seattle suburb with a daily view of mount Rainer….it truly is the best. No place else I’d rather be!

Yes, post it on craigslist. There are plenty of scrappers who will come and get it.

Honestly, might just post free scrap metal on craigslist and get a bill of sale for it for the person who's taking it.

Dang, sucks that I'm not over there, also asked about a hulk permit said they wouldn't do one since the bill of sale is too me and not some random car on the property.

Me too, but for return to work :)

This question had not come up for me. Thanks for the responses.

In Seattle an actual detective comes out. He’s a nice guy though, actually a car guy and I’ve run into him since at a couple car events.

Hey me too

U-Haul or maybe even Home Depot have trailers and at least for U-Haul aren't usually that expensive, particular if you just want it a few hours.

Mine have always been a few cities away. At the end of the day, I am paying for a service and they don’t really care how I am using the service, as long as I don’t abuse it.

Let’s not forget making law-abiding citizens criminals and decriminalizing actual crime!

Just called them, got told to contact WSP and would have to trailer it over to them to get a Inspection done, over in the Spokane Area.

Sounds like it's time for you to host your own giveaway for this parts car!

Document commonly known as a "hulk permit."

1988. Tourist me rode the Bainbridge ferry in July in shorts with no jacket. Went home and packed.

Alright thanks

That's a good idea. My friend who has one is a minor, I think he uses his parents. I'm that situation would I still be able to use it?

Yeah that's what I was thinking, I could get a truck from U-Haul. I could ask friends but I'm not sure if they would be down for a 3 hour trip (if there is paperwork etc)

Every day I cry about moving away from Seattle, almost 2 years ago now
