Prohibición de dejar vehículos en propiedades privadas

Explicación Simple

No puedes dejar tu coche, remolque o parte de ellos en la propiedad de otra persona sin su permiso. Si alguien se queja y el vehículo ha estado ahí más de 72 horas, puede ser removido por la policía.

Es como si dejaras tu bicicleta en el jardín de un amigo sin preguntar y él decide guardarla en su garaje porque no le gusta que esté ahí.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan se va de vacaciones y deja su camioneta en el estacionamiento de un centro comercial. Después de 4 días, la dueña del lugar se queja y llama a la policía. La policía puede llevarse la camioneta de Juan a un lugar de almacenamiento.

Va. Code § 46.2-1215 - Leaving vehicles on private property prohibited; authority of counties, cities, and towns to provide for removal and disposition; notice of disposition. No person shall leave any motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or part of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer on the private property of any other person without his consent. The governing body of any county, city, or town may by ordinance provide, that on complaint of the owner of the property on which such motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or part thereof has been left for more than 72 hours, that such motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or part thereof, may be removed by or under the direction of a law-enforcement officer or other uniformed employee of the local law-enforcement agency who specifically is authorized to do so by the chief law-enforcement officer or his designee to a storage area. The ordinance shall require the owners of private property which is normally open to the public for parking to post or cause to be posted signs warning that vehicles left on the property for more than 72 hours will be towed or removed at their owners' expense. The ordinance may also provide that the person at whose request the vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or part thereof is so removed shall indemnify the county, city, or town against any loss or expense incurred by reason of removal, storage, or sale thereof. In the case of the removal of a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or part of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer from private property, when it cannot be readily sold, the motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or part may be disposed of in whatever manner the governing body of the county, city, or town may provide. In all other respects, the provisions of §§ 46.2-1213 and 46.2-1217
