Thousands of vehicles, including motorbikes, bicycles, and tricycles, and other assets mainly seized from violators of traffic regulations are left deserted in impoundment lots across Ho Chi Minh City.

They have been staying out in the sun for a long time, so they have broken and deformed.

The shortage of spaces for assets confiscated from traffic violators and the poor perseveration conditions have devalued the assets of residents and the state.
