Dear Robert Haffner, I am sorry, but we do not take police reports via this forum. Please call Dispatch (406-727-7688, Option 1) and file your complaint.  They will start a case number and it will go through the established process in order for our JAVA (Junk/Abandoned Vehicle Abatement) Unit to address the issue. The dispatcher will want to know the address it is parked in front of, as well as the color, type of vehicle/camper (RV, pull, slide-in), make, and license plate if available. They will also want to know if the vehicle looks operable (flat tires, engine missing, etc.).

Your complaint goes into a queue, then goes through a tagging and waiting period (sometimes two, depending on the nature of it), before it can be towed away as an abandoned vehicle. This gives the owner fair notice to resolve the issue before their vehicle gets seized.

Thank you.
