Abandoned Scirocco...

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

It will depend on how your state's rules for abandoned cars go, but you may 
end up with it anyway if you express interest.
Also, if it is done legally, and its roadworthy, you may save it from "no 
title limbo", and we all know of some cases where this has been a source of 
trouble. If you have the title, you have no problems licensing it, insuring 
it, or selling it.
