Busted by code enforcement
A lot of places 'crack down' on unlicensed and inoperable vehicles. There should be a city code that has been written that states specifically what their regulations are.
Last year local law enforcement attempted to cite me. Even though the vehicles that I had here were kept clean and in good repair I didn't have the plates on all of them. (I had removed the license plates from two of them that I had taken to the car shows.) The cars were located on the extra lot I own behind my house. My '72 Duster and the funnycar are both race cars so I did not have those tagged.
I asked for a copy of the city statute. They brought me a copy of it later that day.
As it turns out there was a provision here for race vehicles that was written in it that exempted them from the statute. And as long as I put the plates back on the other cars I would be OK.
The stated fines here were pretty steep. They could fine us $100 per vehicle per day that the cars remained. But it is important to read the statute. In some cases you are only in violation if the vehicle has NOT moved for over 60 days. Some guys get around that of course by moving their cars every so often.

Some municipalities will impound your vehicles too.
All of these things are contributing factors as to why I'm fixing up our old farm yard. - Can't wait to get moved back out there! There are a lot less restrictions out there than in town. Currently I store any unlicensed vehicles I have at my farm.
Put a high fence up around them.
