Is it illegal to park car without plate outside house?

This actually works.

There was a BMW convertible left on our street with a cover, and no one took any notice of it, I assumed someone had just bought a new car..., until it was said that the car had been stolen in a previous carjacking in the city a couple of weeks before.

Yeah my mate bought this dodgy Nissan Pintara for $300 years and years ago haha quite funny but his neighbours must of complained about it being on the road (it was unregoed) and had a towing notice from the council. So he moved it just inside the nature strip and they couldn't touch it..

A friend of mine kept an unregistered celica on the road under a car cover for months. I had one of my Integras out of rego for 1 day parked on the street (wasn't moving into the house for 1 more day so couldn't park off street) and someone called the police. No one will go snooping under a car cover to check if it's registered.

My unregistered car was parked in the street yesterday. I bought it a week ago and am waiting on Taillights to arrive so I can get engineers and rego. I live in the city in a townhouse, so I have no option but to park in the street. Someone drove straight into the side of it yesterday and ****ed it. Now it looks cheap from the outside with satin paint and small wheels, but if I was to drop it off at a shop for it's suspension work, the suspension bill alone would be almost 20k...

I reckon the insurance company is either going to say it's my fault and **** me over, or they'll value it at 1k and write it off.

Anyone know where I stand with a parked unrego'd car being hit by another driver? Before I go and put my foot in it with their insurance company? Need help asap.

Get an insurance quote for it at all before the incident?

it's uninsured, if someone hits it you'd be up for damages, council can and will have it towed away as it's illegal to leave unregoed cars around the streets

it's not just that, people will vandalise it, try and flog things from it if they see it there on the street for some time. A BMW was left not far from a mates in a nice street for a month and some clowns who got caught stole the wheels and studs one night, neighbourhood watch does work :)

best bet is to find a mate with a bit of land and cover it up there :)

it reminds me of these people who parked a couple of shit boxes in front of a holden dealership for months on end and they couldn't get them towed because they weren't in breach of any laws.
