I suggest reporting it to the police as abandoned… I had a similar situation. The police stick a sticker on the car and take the plates. If no-one calls the police within the time frame, they remove it.
I am curious – did this happen within a strata block? I ask because often police and councils will say that this is private property and comes under strata law and therefore they have no jurisdiction.
Your living so far from the problem is an issue but the simplest method is to leave the car on the street where it IS a local council/ police issue but bear in mind that you are probably committing several crimes in doing so.
Or just drag it out into the common property driveway and see if the Owners Corp is still as keen to say it’s not their problem.
But seriously, Boronia’s method has a lot to recommend it. If the towies will take it, let them have it.
