Abandoned car? It belonged to one of the kids' grandmothers, and was parked in the family driveway.
the car was abandoned in the sense that it was probably inoperable thus not in use. I think I heard that it had not been driven in three months. Also, that it was not in the driveway, but in the yard a few feet away. By abandoned, they weren't saying a family member didn't own it, they were saying, not being driven.
