    So your best advice is criminal. :T




    Happened to a work mate many years ago. Smashed the window to release the hand break. Told the Police after and explained he's car was inside. Pushed the car a few feet out the way. Told the Police, if the owner has an issue to take him to court.


    The Police were not that bothered and the owner did nothing. Cheers.....

    It needs either tax or a SORN.

    If it’s taxed it needs insurance.

    Not their problem if it isn't parked on the road. Its a civil matter.

    This says otherwise:

    Yeah I will leave it til Monday and give 101 a call and see what they say about it.

    The police won’t deal with it. MIB/DVLA will deal with the insurance matter.
