Russian-owned cars gather dust at Helsinki Airport
The Finnish government has given the owners of Russian-registered vehicles six months to get their cars out of Finland.

Pfft. Sounds like free cars to me.
Would have been nice if they had left the keys...I think I would have considered it if I knew I wasn't coming back. But those all look like they were driven by the rich.
Hopefully the local authority do something interesting with them when they get ownership. Donating Ukraine for example. I'd imagine that even if they are too difficult to get keys for they, the more common/utilitarian vehicles can break for important spares.
That said, I'm sure then cars pictured are likely indicative of the whole range that has been left,, so probably not.
This is the lock picking lawyer, on the scene in Helsinki. Here's some tips on how to open an abandoned car, and switch out the ignition switch.....
Those aren't Kia/Hyundai, so the immobilizer in those cars would prevent ignition.
Kia and Hyundai also have immobilizers in Europe as I believe they are mandatory.
Wait, are you saying that regulation helps consumers? That’s fucking wild bro
Immobilisers have been mandatory in all new cars sold in Germany since 1 January 1998, in the United Kingdom since 1 October 1998, in Finland since 1998
If I were a tow truck operator in Helsinki, I'd be seriously considering just grabbing those cars.
