“Seized Vehicle, Informally” – A Clue That’s Driving Us Crazy!

Ah, the joy of a good crossword puzzle. The satisfying click of the pen as you fill in those squares, the thrill of cracking a tough clue, and the undeniable sense of accomplishment at the end. But sometimes, even the most seasoned solver gets stumped. This week, we’re tackling a clue that’s got us scratching our heads: “Seized vehicle, informally.”

It’s a deceptively simple clue, evoking images of police sirens and flashing lights. But the word “informally” throws a wrench into the works. What casual, everyday term do we use to describe a vehicle that’s been taken away?

Let’s break it down:

“Seized”

implies a forceful action, suggesting the vehicle is no longer in the possession of its rightful owner.

“Informally”

tells us we’re looking for a slang term, something you might hear on the street or in a casual conversation.

We’ve got a few potential leads, but none quite feel like a perfect fit. Is it a term for a car that’s been towed? A vehicle that’s been confiscated? Maybe a slang term for a car that’s been abandoned?

This clue is a real head-scratcher, and we’re eager to hear your thoughts! What do you think the answer is? Share your guesses in the comments below, and let’s see if we can crack this puzzle together!
