Hi Mike,

Sorry to be thick, but how on earth can the government take your car for
'disuse' ? How long can you 'disuse' it before they decide that they have a
right to meddle in your affairs ?

The second it has no valid plate and/or insurance on it, it is against
the law to have it on your property here in Toronto Canada.

They also can come and steal the contents of your garage legally if the
door is open or broken open. It is then consider 'public access' or
some such stupidity. Because we rent they do not legally have to give
us any warning to do this before 6 apes show up in a truck. I literally
had to stand there with a large pipe in my hands while the cops came to
shut them down long enough for us to board up the door. They were going
to steal all my camping gear, my canoes, my tools, our bicycles, etc.

The cops were just a little sympathetic making the guy swear he wasn't
coming back.

I had tow truck driver friends hear the police radio call and show up
for 'moral' support too. heh heh...

I can't wait to get out of this hell hole, I'll tell ya.
