Facing wrong way IS illegal in itself. Are tags current on the car?

Florida Statutes Title XXIII. Motor Vehicles § 316.195. Additional parking regulations

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a two-way roadway shall be so stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.

I see cars all the time parked in the wrond direction in TV. Common sense driving 101 - guess people missed that day in drivers ed.

Call the police to get it ticketed then have them go from there. Search FL State Statute:
705.103 Procedure for abandoned or lost property. There is a process for removal the includes Notice of Intent (of removal) by the police.
