What are the legal ramifications/issues involved in rescuing 
an abandoned vehicle? I have had my eye on a bug carcass 
sitting in the middle of a feild for a couple of weeks now. 
The feild is really more of a semi vacant lot with a half 
collapsed house on it. I could just load it onto a trailer, 
but I would want to register it someday...and not get busted 
for auto theft.

any thoughts?
