by Warren Gardiner, from the Community

10+

This abandoned vehicle inspection checklist guides teams through assessing location safety, fluid leaks, and vehicle security. Record make, model, plates, and registration status and expiry. Note whether keys are held, notify authorities as required (e.g., AFP), and secure the vehicle if safe. Capture photos of all sides, one interior, plates, and VIN. Finally, upload the completed report to your document repository (e.g., SharePoint) for record-keeping and follow-up.

Abandoned Vehicle First Inspection Report
This abandoned vehicle first inspection checklist helps officers document vehicle and location details on the roadway, capture VIN and registration, select make, model, colour and body type, and record visible damage. It prompts photos of the VIN plate, vehicle angles, and seizure notice, plus notes and completion status. Designed for local government and parking enforcement, it supports compliant seizure notices and consistent evidence gathering during initial inspections.
