finding out who owns a car

You could ask your local neighbourhood policing team to have a look?

, it could be stolen or on duplicated plates;

Duplicated plates could be the reason it appears road legal. If I was willing to pay insurance and tax to store a car on the road I would make the effort to park it close to the kerb.
Contact the police, if possible providing the vin number which may be visible through the windscreen. They can check if the reg number matches the car.
It may belong to someone local who cannot currently drive but expects to use the car in the future.

Being nosey isn't a valid reason on the V888 to obtain registered keeper details.

see above post about the issues it is causing..nosiness isnt a reason for my parents to pay a fiver to find out it belongs to

After my car was stolen, they abandoned it outside someone's house. It only took about a day for him to ring the police, he was one of the local cave rescue team and thought I might have been a missing caver.

This is a good ten inches from the kerb, so not really in the road enough to be classed as an obstruction

Ten inches from the kerb would suggest it is an obstruction!

Dumped stolen car, possibly with parts exchanged. Badly parked so that somebody would ring the police and see car returned to owner ?

It is a parked car, the only issue it is causing is to someone who thinks they own the road outside their house and have a right to park there above all others.

If it was a problem for the bin men they'd have reported it by now.
