For the purposes of this section, the fact that a motor vehicle has been left without permission or notification is prima facie evidence of abandonment. Any person convicted of abandoning a junk motor vehicle shall be assessed any costs incurred by the city in disposing of such abandoned junk motor vehicle less any monies accrued to the city from such disposal. 9.32.120 Abandoning vehicles unlawful. No person shall leave or permit a vehicle to remain on private property with- out the permission of the owner longer than twenty -four hours. 9.32.200 Penalties.
