The West Virginia Code's Chapter 17, Article 24A provides a definition of dealing with abandoned RVs in West Virginia. If authorities seize such a car, they have 15 days to notify the registered owner and lienholders. These parties have ten days to pay the associated fees and retrieve the RV. If not, it may be offered for auction or sold to an authorized salvage yard. When it is challenging to locate the owner, a public notice is printed. Additionally, hired parties must provide the owner with 30 days' notice. Towing companies may file for a title and sell a vehicle with a loan value of less than $7,500 if it is left unclaimed. For automobiles under $9,500 in value, authorized dealers, auctions, repair centers, and towing businesses may also act in this manner.
