What does it mean to abandon the stolen vehicle status in Tianjin's car lottery?

The Implementation Rules of the "Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing" stipulate that if a passenger car under normal registration status in the name of an individual or entity is stolen or robbed, and remains unrecovered after 12 months from the date of filing by the public security authorities, and has been registered as stolen or robbed in the vehicle management system of the public security authorities, the owner should directly apply for another quota within 6 months after the 12-month period. Failure to apply within this period will be deemed as automatic abandonment of the quota application. Quota renewal application: Individuals and entities needing to renew their passenger cars must apply for a renewal quota within 6 months from the date of completing the transfer registration, cancellation registration, or change registration for moving out of the city. Failure to apply within this period will be deemed as abandonment of the renewal quota eligibility. Note: Entities needing to renew passenger cars can directly obtain the renewal quota. For individuals owning more than two passenger cars, only one can directly obtain the renewal quota. Other passenger cars requiring renewal must obtain the renewal quota through bidding.
I've heard many friends misunderstand the term 'Tianjin car lottery,' thinking 'theft' is some special operation; it's likely a typo and should be 'auction.' Through years of experience with car policies, I know that Tianjin's passenger car quota allocation has always been divided into lottery and auction. I haven't heard of abandoning an auction—it remains valid, and anyone in urgent need can pay to bid for a quota, avoiding endless waiting for the lottery. Tianjin has implemented total volume control for years, with the auction portion helping to balance demand and prevent resource abuse. To participate, you need to register on the official website, understand the rules clearly, and not miss the opportunity to avoid delays.
