(2) That the vehicle or parts are considered abandoned.

(3) That the vehicle or parts will be removed after:

(A) twenty-four (24) hours, if the vehicle is located on or within the right-of-way of an interstate highway or any highway that is designated as part of the state highway system under IC 8-23-4;  or

(B) except as provided in subsection (b), seventy-two (72) hours, for any other vehicle.

(5) That the person who owns the vehicle may avoid costs by removal of the vehicle or parts within:
