(A) No person shall willfully leave an abandoned junk motor vehicle as defined in R.C. § 4513.63 on private property for more than 72 hours without the permission of the person having the right to the possession of the property, or on a public street or other property open to the public for purposes of vehicular travel or parking, or upon or within the right-of-way of any road or highway for 48 hours or longer without notification to the chief of a law enforcement agency of the municipal corporation of the reason for leaving the motor vehicle in such place.
(B) For purposes of this section, the fact that a vehicle has been so left without permission or notification is prima facie evidence of abandonment. Nothing contained in this section shall invalidate the provisions of other ordinances or township resolutions regulating or prohibiting the abandonment of motor vehicles on streets, highways, public property or private property within the municipality.
(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor, and shall also be assessed any costs incurred by the municipal corporation in disposing of such abandoned junk motor vehicle, less any money accruing to the municipal corporation from such disposal.
