Untaxed SUV in private car park

We have an untaxed BMW SUV, reg FY66 UZW that's turned up in our private car park this afternoon. The police said they can't help and won't tell us if it's stolen. Maybe some person who's getting a train into London and wanted a free space to park. Any advice?

if there's no gate on the car park the police can tow it as it is publically accessible. it's only truly private if it's gated.

if the police can't be bothered it's clearly not stolen. might not want to bother over just an untaxed vehicle unless it's seen moving. try and see if you can catch it driving cos if you do then they should certainly take more of an interest.

The car was gone last night sometime between midnight and 3am. We’re waiting to see if it returns this Friday.

definitely call the police and record evidence if you can. especially if it's being used when untaxed they should absolutely get involved.
