Sec. 5-12005.
Abandoned, lost, stolen or unclaimed vehicles.
In any
county with 500,000 or more inhabitants, but fewer than 3,000,000, when an
abandoned, lost, stolen or unclaimed vehicle comes into the temporary
possession or custody of a person, not the owner of the vehicle, such
person shall immediately notify the administrative official in the county
who is charged with the enforcement of any ordinance adopted pursuant to
this Division. Upon receipt of such notification, the administrative
official shall authorize a towing service to remove and take possession of
the abandoned, lost, stolen or unclaimed vehicle and its contents and
maintain a record of the tow as set forth in Section 4-204 of The Illinois
Vehicle Code until the vehicle is claimed by the owner or any person
legally entitled to possession thereof or until it is disposed of as
provided in The Illinois Vehicle Code.
