Yeah, I called the obscured tag phone number earlier this week. I left a message. I still haven't heard back and the car moved down the block. Maybe other people have had better experiences but, I'm not optimistic.

It just takes a while. They reach out to the owner and all kinds of stuff. They took 3 cars off my block a couple months ago.

"Moved down the block" will be a problem for getting it removed. They're looking for deflated tires, expired tags, other damage like that.

Parking on the street for a long time isn't abandonment, at least technically.
