My ex-roommate left a car at my crib. With all his other stuff as well. But when he left, he didn't pay for any of the bills(ie. rent, utilities). So i was wondering if i could take possession of his car. I saw the title lying somewhere around the house and he never even registered it, it just has the seller's signature on it. So, here's what i'm thinking...

1. Write my name on the Title, go to DMV, register it, try to find a place that i could get a key at.

or

2. Slide it down my driveway along the side of the road, and wait for the city to put those "this car has been abandoned, it will be towed stickers"...(the tags are expired) then find someone to call to see if i could take ownership of it.

I don't really know any of the laws pertaining to this, if it's legal or not, but any help would be appreciated.

Also, the roommate's been gone for over a month. And when i looked through his stuff(cuz my mom didn't trust him), i found a couple hundred dollars worth of DVD's and video games that belonged to my brother and our other roommate.
