It is a state law: a vehicle with no license plates left in a public place for more than six hours is considered abandoned. A vehicle with plates illegally parked for more than 24 hours or legally parked for more than 48 hours is considered abandoned.

the state takes it and impounds it and most likely gives you a ticket for leaving it abandoned for a long time because you could have had it stolen or something else could of happened to your car. they will take it and you will get it back whenever you go get it and give them the money for it
