I think you'll find that filing for a title for 'Abandoned Vehicle' will
get you better results.
With a certified letter that isn't responded to sent to the last known
address it'll work.
You just need to specify the charges and any storage charges that might
apply.
The total process takes about 30 days but it's worked for me several
times.
Got one free 1991 Buick and one 1989 Dodge Caravan.
Strange but they were both nice cars, owners just fell on hard times and
all I had in them was parking for about eight months.
