Abandoned vehicle

[AZRaider03]

How do I aquire an abandoned vehicle? It is a late 90's or early 2000's ford work van that would make a sweet camping/fishing rig. It has been sitting in our parking lot for over two years. The company that owned left it here and obviously dont care what happens to it. Is there fees or inspections that I have go through? I have emailed ADOT but I dont think I will hear anything back since this will be the third time doing so. Thanks in advance..

the way it works in NJ is that u have to apply for a title for a abandoned vehicle.... u get the form, run a ad in the paper posting that it will be up for sale with the vin, a certified mail must be sent to the original owner, they are usually given 30 days from the posted ad to respond, once u have ur copy of the ad, the completed form, then u can get a title for it....but thats just how it works in NJ


and usually the local police department will take care of the ad for u and a few other small things
