What to Do If You Can't Find the Car Owner to Move the Vehicle?
2 Answers
When you can't find the car owner to move the vehicle, you can make a phone call. Here are the details: 1. Generally, there is a contact number for the car owner near the front windshield of the car. You can call this number directly. 2. You can also dial 114 to notify the car owner to come and move the vehicle. Currently, most cities have partnered with traffic police to offer the 114 convenience service. By dialing 114 and providing the license plate number, you can contact the car owner to move the vehicle. Below is some additional information about moving vehicles: 1. Online, ordinary people cannot look up the car owner's information based on the license plate number because this is considered private information and cannot be accessed without authorization. If someone needs to look up this information, they must present valid identification to an insurance company and apply to find the owner based on the license plate number. However, due to the protection of the car owner's information, the required procedures can be quite cumbersome. If the reason for the inquiry is improper, such as seeking revenge, the insurance company will likely not assist. 2. Traffic police or regular police can look up the car owner based on the license plate number. You can call the traffic police department directly. If the car owner is unable to move the vehicle, you can report it to the police for further handling.
I've encountered a similar situation before. When my car was blocked, I walked around the vehicle to check if there was a contact number on the window—some owners leave a small card. If I couldn't find one, I would open my phone and use a common car-moving app to scan the license plate, such as a WeChat mini-program or a car owner tool, which sometimes allows one-click contact with the owner. When parking in my neighborhood, I exchange numbers or join a WeChat group with neighbors just in case. If I really couldn’t reach the owner, I would ask the property management or security guards for help, as they have registered owner information. Remember not to force-move the car yourself—it’s easy to cause scratches and invite trouble. Once, in a hurry, I almost pushed the car, only to find the owner chatting in a nearby shop. Safety first—take it slow. Patience is key in handling such situations. Calling the police is the last resort; explain the location and urgency, and they can handle it quickly.
