A former resident of our apartment development left his car behind in our car park more than a year ago, having already left it parked there for a few years. He left no forwarding address and no phone number. I thought this would be straightforward but it is not. A scrappage company refused to take it unless we had the vehicle registration certificate. Can we order a certificate ourselves, or is it only the owner who can do that? What other legal options do we have?
