# Abandoned Vehicle with No Plates or No Keys on Private Property in Arizona
If an abandoned vehicle has no plates or no keys, property managers should document the vehicle, confirm the location and property authority, and contact a towing partner that can explain the next step without guessing.
For abandoned vehicle removal support, call 480-288-5526 or contact Axle.
Quick answer
No plates or no keys usually means the property needs better documentation before the vehicle is moved. Capture vehicle photos, location, visible identifying details, condition, time observed, and who is authorizing the request.
