No you tow it out onto the road with your Land Rover and phone the police and tell them it has been abandoned.
Have some experience with that :-DD

I'm sure that in almost all cases, you'd get away with it and nothing more would be heard. The police would have no interest in the matter, unless it was damaged or caused an accident or something, but I believe it is illegal to do that off your own bat.

Ah the Channel Islands, where you really learn what a car horn is for. (For those who haven't been there, most roads have 20-30 yards visibility to the next bend and high walls and hedges that mean you can see nothing around them.)
I had a adult cousin with a farm on Guernsey and two uncles who owned and ran the [then] biggest department store in St. Peter Port so I spent a lot of summer holidays over there in my youth while my Father caught up with that part of the family. This had the odd side effect that I'd go back to school each year in new school trousers with fancy French labels that had come gratis from the Gent's Outfitters section of Uncle Bill's store, and lots of hand-me-downs from Uncle Jack's sons who were just the right 'little bit older' than me to have grown out of something at just the right time.

Probably is.
I try and break the law at least once a day.

Yeah, C addressed that idea directly with the bit about the instant it hits a public street the moving agent, be it vehicle or person, had better be a police officer or acting as a deputy of the court (how they do it over here for wreckers towing illegally parked cars) or it is illegal; hence my little Dr. Dorian daydream aboot just releasing the parking brake and letting the car roll out into traffic... ;)
