INOPERABLE VEHICLE. Any vehicle which, for a period of at least
three consecutive days, the engine, wheels, tires or other
parts have been removed or on which the engine, wheels, tires,

located separately from a vehicle. A vehicle shall be deemed
inoperable when it has one or more flat tires or has one or more
missing windshield or window, or has one or more windshield or
window broken to the extent that visibility is limited so as
to make driving such vehicle unsafe. An INOPERABLE VEHICLE does
not include any motor vehicle that is kept within a building
when not in use, nor a vehicle on the premises of a business
enterprise operated in a lawful place and manner when necessary
to the operation of such business enterprise. An inoperable vehicle
