Abandoned cars, hundreds of exhibits in Cagliari: funds for removals are not enough

Old, still with the plates even if with flat tires. There are many, of cars forgotten on the edges of the roads, in the dirt roads of the suburbs, even around the squares of Cagliari . Wild stopping is better than scrapping.

And so the illegal occupation reigns, with the risk of having to pay up to 1600 euros in fines compared to 120 for a proper retirement of one's, good old car.

From Sant'Elia to Santa Teresa, from Is Mirrionis to Mulinu Becciu to the city center, the phenomenon does not seem destined to stop.

Since the beginning of the year, the local police have received 258 complaints. There were 45 removals and another 15 are being finalized. While the 31 thousand euros allocated by the Municipality to the abandoned car removal service to deal with the emergency are now running out .

Other funds would be used for a complete reclamation of the urban center and the elimination of the carcasses that are often so old and in poor condition as to be used as waste bins.
