@chicomarx: on the close Autobahn A2 I often see trucks, loaded with cars from B on their way to Lithuania and Belarus. From there many of them were smuggled to Russia, because officially you cannot import odler cars to Russia.
They don't buy cars only in Belgium and Germany, from many other countries, too, even RHD-cars from Britain.
And it's very funny, that nowadays there are trucks in the opposite direction, coming from Poland, loaded with old Japanese cars (min.15-18 years old) on the way to Rotterdam and other ports - for the export to Africa.
Friends from Sweden told me, that German imported cars aren't really popular there. In the last years newer cars, especially Diesel-version were brought from here to Sweden.
The reason is the half-criminal "Tacho-Justierung", which is offered here. It means "adjusting the tachometer", but in fact they are turning back the mileage.
So my friends have put off the plate-frame of the former dealer in Germany.
I'm showing, that may K 70 was from Italy. I've left the white front turn signals and that ones on the front fender, too. And the Italian papers in the windscreen, too.
Unfortunately the dealer's sticker was hidden by the back plate and I didn't get an answer, when I wrote to the former garage in Ventimiglia
Back to the abandoned cars: here they are getting these stickers "Remove it within the next ... days", too. They have the nickname "Nimm dir, was du brauchst-Aufkleber" - "Take what you need-sticker"
I must admit, that when I was a boy and was strolling around the town with my bicycle, I always had a little screwdriver and an original VW-hubcap-removal-hook with me.
Today I don't do this any more. I don't have inhibitions to wreck such an abandoned car, but now I'm living on the countryside, where they aren't so common as at industrial sites of a big town and the more important reason is: the cars, which were abandoned today are boring and uninteresting. What shall I do, as a classic car-freak with junk from the mid-90ies?
