  Reported this on 11/2/17. Abandon vehicle still hasn't moved or towed away. It has a dozens of parking tickets for Street Sweeping Violation and taking-up two parking spaces.

  You can also email AbandonedAuto@oaklandnet.com or abandonedauto@oaklandnet.com what ever works. Send as much info as possible. They will send you a sad auto response on how long it might take. OPD, parking enforcement and abandoned auto do not seem to have any way to communicate with each other. Beyond dysfunctional.

  David, thanks for the info. I got lucky and flagged down an OPD officer. He was gracious enough to listen and tagged this vehicle. However, the verbiage of this orange tag doesn't saying anything about being towed if not moved.

  They have 72 hours by law to move the car before it can be towed. In 2016 more 20,000 abandoned car were reported for a staff of six officers. Oakland as a serious problem and will not hire the staff with the power to fix it.

  After over a month, I reported this on 11/2/17. ODP tagged this on 11/21/17 with a 72 hour notice. Today the vehicle is still there. Oakland doesn't seem to do anything about its City. This site is useless.

  The SCF site is not useless its the City of Oakland's elected officials and employees who's responsibility it is to get these jobs done. There are some great people working for Oakland but they are completely over shadowed by all the slackers.

  David, this issue is over a year old and this site is still thanking me for reporting it. They have no clue on what's going on in the streets.

  Again, this issue is over 2 years old and the car is long gone. This site has no clue on what's going on our streets. This site just gives out auto-responses and doesn't do anything.

  This is over 3 years old and the City didn't act and thinks this vehicle still hasn't moved. This tells me that this site just posts issues but not to act upon it. The date if this post was in 11/2/17

  SCF is only as good as the City it is associated with. I get reports for other Cities as well they do not work the way Oakland does. This is a refection of our Cites being in reactive mode/head in sand by our so called city leadership. The issue with abandoned vehicles has not changed. In 2015 there were more that 20,000 reports of abandoned vehicles. Its only gotten worse. Instead of looking for a solution they have allowed it to fester along with illegal dumping, spray vandalism and the unhoused nightmare. The City should be in the ICU waiting for the coroner.

  This issue is now over 4 years old. This tells me that reporting abandon vehicles on this site is a waste of time.

  This issue is now over 6 years old. Reporting abandon vehicles on this site is a waste of time.
