2. Rather than making $0 off of the impounded vehicle for the pickup fine, the government can make money on auctioning off vehicles deemed “abandoned.”

3 – Terms

1. A vehicle that has not been claimed and picked up by its owner within one month of impound will be deemed an “abandoned impound.”
2. All abandoned impounds will be put up for auction by the DoJ in the DC Bid discord and given to the highest bidding winner.
3. With the exception of an outside purchaser who opts to pay double the starting bid to obtain the vehicle as follows:
a) An outside purchaser will purchase cars for $2,000 per car.
b) An outside purchaser will purchase bikes for $1,000 per bike.
c) An outside purchaser will purchase racing cars for $5,000 per racing car.
4. All money earned from the auction will go to the Government.
