§ 93.29 LIABILITY OF OWNER OF ABANDONED VEHICLE; SALE OF VEHICLE.
   The owner of an abandoned vehicle is responsible for the abandonment and liable for all costs incidental to the removal, storage, and disposal of the abandoned vehicle, however such costs may not exceed $2,000. All such costs shall constitute a lien against the vehicle and the vehicle shall not be released until such costs are paid. If an abandoned vehicle is sold by a person who removed, towed or stored said vehicle pursuant to this chapter, the person who previously owned the vehicle shall not be responsible for storage fees. Any excess proceeds from such a sale, after payment of the costs of removal, towing and sale disposal, shall be returned to the previous owner of the vehicle.
