Abandoned Vehicles - Warwickshire Web

	Abandoned Vehicle The number of abandoned vehicles in Warwickshire has become a significant problem in recent years. During 2001, almost 3000 vehicles were abandoned and wrecked (vandalism and/or torched), with significant resource implications for local authorities, police and fire and rescue. A substantial proportion of vehicles are not stolen, but are dumped in order to avoid costs of disposing of the unwanted vehicles at a scrap merchant. For more information on how to dispose of your car go to End of Life Vehicles.
