You are correct about giving ficticious details.being the only way. I remember in the days when you could easily get owner info checking an address; it was a paddock.

But surely moving it onto my property would be car conversion as I have no right to move another persons car onto my property without their permission - whether its been abandoned or not

At least you'd find out who owned it.
If you put a notice in the paper saying that you were tidying up the neighbourhood, and for the owner to contact you. And told the police what you were doing, it'd be a bit sad to get pinged over it.

Yes.
For a brief period, when they actually respected the "opt out" they had my correct details.
I appreciate how valuable it is for genuine law enforcement, in the case of an accident and so on.
But as soon as they re-introduced access for their buddies, I went back to providing a work of fiction.
They will be looking for my dog, in an electricity substation. I sincerely hope they look in depth, and find a live wire.
It seems basic to me. You should be able to trust the government with your personal information. But they repeatedly show, they can only be trusted with fiction.

I know it sucks,the only people that are legally allowed to steal from you are the authorities,with no consequences-they make the laws to suit themselves.I recall a case where an owner had a car he was working on the berm,had a sudden severe heart attack,by the time he was in a fit state and discharged from hospital his car was gone.Found out the council took it ended up going to a wrecker,it had been stripped.Lost the lot and recently recond V8 engine-about 6k 15 years ago-which he was paying off.The upset probably gave him another turn Only thing you can risk(better talk to neighbours first) is opening it and finding some info.If it's a new car dumped usually for a reason,auto buggered or some major electrics,or the owner is so poor they cannot afford anything and just cut there losses.

We had a car abandoned outside our place years ago. It wasn't really abandoned, he was pulled up DIC without a licence from the last DIC, so it was just left there. Unlocked! And he was always too pissed to even comprehend getting it taken away.
I didn't know him, but knew who he was. Actually had a name that made him the real clown from a certain burger shop :o(
It was an HT Holden, and it was there for months! Disappeared one day. Don't know how, why or by who.
