Would you have someone towed if their vehicle was left "abandoned" on your front street with no registration?

I'm in the middle of a dilema... there is this van parked on my front street. It's been there long before I moved in and clearly hasn't moved in years. The front passenger tire is flat, the van is FULL with storage to the point where even the driver seat is covered and finally the registration on the license plate expired in Feb '07. It's a busy street that is usually full so this van is taking up a potential parking spot.

I looked in to it and based on the expired registration and the "abonded" status I can file a complaint to have them put a warning sticker and eventually tow it. I honestly don't know how it has remained there this long but there is a signage gap making it the only spot in blocks that doesn't require a permit.

Anyways, I don't know what to do. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it really does. I have a permit, a garage and plenty of parking behind my place so I'm never stuck for a spot but something about walking by this van to and from work bugs me. I don't want to be "that guy" that complains but something inside me wants to make the call...

So I ask you, would you have this "storage container" marked for towing?
