As a European It's very surreal to see these situations. I have never seen anything like this here, and can't imagine nothing would be done about it. Here if you'd leave a car somewhere, especially all cut up, it would be gone within hours. Car without a plate? Gone. Similar if its a stolen car/plate. There are also many rules about how your property can look like, especially in neighbourhoods, and just littering it with stuff wouldn't fly.
