If a car has been left in front of your house for months can you do it up and keep it?

It is not advisable to do this. If a car has been abandoned in front of your house, you should contact the local authorities to report the vehicle and have it removed. It is illegal to take possession of a vehicle that is not yours, and you may be held liable for any damages that occur to it while in your possession.

In most jurisdictions, if a vehicle is left on your property for a certain amount of time (typically 30-60 days), it is considered abandoned and you may be able to take possession of it. However, it is important to follow the proper legal procedures to do so. This usually involves contacting the local police or sheriff's department, who will then notify the registered owner of the vehicle. If the owner does not come forward to claim the vehicle within a certain amount of time, it will be considered abandoned and you may be able to obtain title to it.

If the vehicle is not registered to anyone, you may be able to obtain title to it through a process called "adverse possession." This process requires that you maintain exclusive, open, and notorious possession of the property for a certain amount of time (typically 7-20 years, depending on the jurisdiction). However, adverse possession can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it is not always successful.
