Abandoned Vehicles???

how can i remove these from washington state property for to use as scrap metal? ive seen 3 of them on dirt roads while out hunting in the past 2 days....

a toyota pick up... shot full of holes... and next to it a ford aero star or what ever it is.....{or maybe the chevy look alike} and then about a mile down the road is another car... shot full of holes and has be lit on fire....

now i know the aerostar is a fiberglass shell... but the frame and what ever is some sort of metal... so that could bring in a few dollars along with the toyota.... and the other car, i can hopefully fund a hunting trip with these things... and also help clean up the hunting and wilderness areas and get the bulk of the crap out... but i want to do want to do it properly... and not tow home some cars shot full of holes and find out they where stolen or that it was ieleagle for me to remove them from state property or something?

Call the State Attorney Generals office and ask them what you need to do.

Not really on topic, but Ford never made any type of mini van with a fiberglass shell. All Ford vans have steel bodies.

Aerostars have a fiberglass tail gate and sometimes a fiberglass roof, but, the UNIBODY is all steel. It weighs about 3500 pounds minus wheels, glass, interior.

The easy way is to simply go tow them home, problem is you may very well need some form of a title to sell them to a scrapper.
