The registered owner of the car seems to be alive & well after the dates written in the dust.
He started a business registered with the Secretary of State in Maine 8/18/2022 and I see a post on his FB from Feb of this year with sonogram pics talking about his soon to be born kid
Did you send him a FB message inquiring about the car?
How do you forget about a car you left in Texas? At what point does the car become property of ABIA if he is holding the title? Why hasn't ABIA impounded it and auctioned it yet?
So many questions….
So many questions….
There's an RV at Airport Security Park in San Antonio that's been there a long time too. I can only imagine what the parking bill is on that.
I wonder if they go thru an abandonment/mechanic's lien process and eventually obtain ownership?

Will be passing through there in the next few weeks, most likely. Will have to sign it as well.
How will that message go?
Excuse me sir, did you happen to forget your vehicle in Texas? A bunch of random guys are having a debate on a message board and we need answers to this mystery!

Unless he needs it to visit his other family in Austin

That's pretty much exactly how it should go. I'd even toss in the link to this thread.
Sure. Let's assume the guy is nuts and likes throwing away money on parking.

Send me the space number. I work with ABIA. They never tow anyone. I can have it looked into.

The owner started a business, so he is either savy or a front and criminal. If he's a criminal, there's a dead hooker in the trunk. If savy, what better way to have secure storage of a car you need a few times a year. Max lost ticket rate should be less than rent car for a few days. AAA if it don't start. Drive around then park it again and fly home.
This may be a perfectly good vehicle. You might put a jump box on it and it start right up. Been stored inside for the past few years. So you got that going for you which is nice. Somebody call and make an offer. As is, where is. Taking into account the fact the airport has got an undefined of interest in the vehicle by way of parking owed. Hell, the vehicle may be worthless at this point. The parking fees might exceed the value of the vehicle.
You'd have the wrecker driver trying to go through the toll booth with $17, 000 of parking fees . Who really knows how they handle it. Airport might make some concession on the fees just to get it gone from the garage without a bunch of extra paperwork

I'm not sure what the parking cost is per day in that garage, but even a low guess of $10/day for 700 days is a big parking bill. It's likely not work retrieving the car based on what the parking costs will be.

Threads like this are why I TexAg

Possibly Tom Herman's rental when he left town.
somebody beat you to that on page 1 already
It wasn't this car but there was another one about 6-7 years ago on first level, prior to all the new garages, that was dusty as hell and I saw it a lot. I wonder if these people go on a trip and die, get arrested, or just say F it, I ain't going back.

Oldest date I saw on the car was early Sept 2022 so ~240 days?
Anyone else find this post kinda weird? "I've always wanted to take things that aren't mine because I could get away with it and I don't feel guilty about it"BrazosDog02 said:
I have...."a friend" that can make that care drive out under it's own power. I know they call that stealing, but clearly that guy doesn't need it.
I have always wanted to have abandoned cars like that, and the ones i see on the road, picked up and towed to my place. I figure I could just file for a lost title at that point. Probably have to do something about the VIN, but that fix is only one pick a part trip away.
Is there any reason you couldn't just pick it up? If I turned it into a ranch vehicle, it would never see the road again and no one would ever be able to locate it.
In the case of the OP, there's definitely a body in the trunk.

Anyway, somebody needs to go write "I wish my wife was this dirty" somewhere on it.
And I would write, "She is when I see her." Under it.
I assume it had been there for a good while prior to dates added.
That car is doomed. I sent an email to ABIA asking what happens if I lose my ticket. This was the response:
Once you push the service call button on the kiosk machine an attendant will look up your license plate information and give you the amount.
