As a general policy, the town will not remove a vehicle from private property if the owner, occupant or lessee of the property could have the vehicle removed under applicable state law procedures. In no case will a vehicle be removed by the town from private property without a written request of the owner, occupant or lessee, except in those cases where a vehicle is declared a nuisance vehicle. The town may require any person requesting the removal of an abandoned or nuisance vehicle from private property to indemnify the town against any loss, expense or liability incurred because of the removal, storage or sale thereof.
