Technically it still belongs to the last registered owner. The state will issue the last owner with a first and final notice (they will have 4 days to remove the vehicle) IF the vehicle is not removed:

if the Vehicle is less that $1000 in value it is scrapped

if the Vehicle is more than $1000 it is sold and Auction to recover the councils costs.

If you take a car that has been abandoned you can be done for theft. You have no claim to an abandoned car.

Geez, After growing up in Can-berra, the one thing you DO NOT DO is leave your car on the side of a road over night.

1st night: All windows & lights smashed. Wheels removed.

2nd night: Car rolled onto it's side. Engine, gearbox & differential removed.

3rd night: Car rolled onto it's roof. Any last bits pilfered.

4th night: No more car.

A valuable lesson to anyone who breaks down in A.C.T. : STAY WITH YOUR CAR & HAVE IT TOWED IMMEDIATELY!!!!

On the M4 back in the 80s a guy pulled over to fix a flat.

As he was emptying the boot he heard a noise at the front.

Peeking around he noticed the bonnet up and yelled at the head underneath it.

The voice said,"That's OK mate: you can have the wheel. I'm just after the battery."

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
