Can he … take it for a ride around the block? It’s clearly abandoned. He gave adequate notice. It should be his.

It sounds like it barely moves, so I'm guessing that's not an option. He doesn't have the pink slip so he can't really sell it or donate it properly. Maybe he should start charging Amazon rent for the parking spot.

  Amazon most likely does not own it, hence Amazon telling him to have it towed. The guy is being an idiot looking for publicity.

    He is raising donations for a food bank and appears to have received $200 so far from Amazon thanks to this media circus https://twitter.com/TheCaptainLou/status/1460773777164308482 https://twitter.com/TheCaptainLou/status/1460773777164308482

      You can see his house in one of the pictures he has on his twitter, +$2M house. Instead of trying for this attention he could just donate and have had the vehicle towed. It's childish behavior for attention, just scroll down his feed and there are other examples like where he talks about breaking free a signed basketball from his dentist office.

Just walk around the bad part of town loudly proclaiming into your cell phone: "Oh no, Amazon left a brand new Sprinter van in my driveway at 123 Fake Street, it's unlocked and the keys are in it. That's 123 Fake Street, anyway I'll be gone all weekend."

That's not how abandoned vehicles work in California. It's not yours because it's left on your property. Here's a 12 step program to get rid of an abandoned vehicle that's probably worth money (I'd recommend getting law enforcement to take it, so they or their contracted impound yard can go through the steps instead of you) https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/vehicle-industry-registration-procedures-manual-2/lien-sales-abandoned-abated-vehicles/vehicles-valued-over-4000-or-from-a-self-storage-facility/ https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/vehicle-industry-regi...
