Warning stickers have been applied to 450 unused cars in parking lots and on sidewalks in the Bulgarian capital Sofia.

This marks the beginning of official Municipality procedures to remove old vehicles abandoned in public places.

The stickers tell owners they have 3 months to shift their cars to private property, or face having them dismantled.

If cars are not taken away within the time limit, Sofia Municipality will forcibly remove and transport them to designated areas for temporary safe-keeping. They will be kept there for only 14 days.

During that time, if the owners want their vehicles returned, they will have to pay all the removal expenses and the cost of temporary storage, as well as a fine ranging from BGN 150 to BGN 500.
