Green "Canary" Type Sticker On Car. What is it?

Was driving past a car today and noticed that it had a "canary" type sticker stuck over the drivers portion of the windscreen. I wasn't able to stop or get close enough to see what it was. It was a dark green in colour and all I could make out on it as I passed by was what looked like the Police logo (or some logo in the top middle of the sticker) and text/writing.

This is in NSW.

InB4: "It's a canary"… No. A Canary is bright yellow (hence the name). Heavy vehicle ones are red. This was on a car that appeared to have some accident damage. Don't know if it was registered or not, but it had plates on it. It may be a type of defect notice, but it's not the usual one I see…

Been searching for about an hour and I'm coming up lost…

    A green sticker denotes an abandoned car - I think it needs to be affixed for a period of time before the car can be removed.

      Oh ok, could be. I don’t know much about the car. If I’m in the area again, I’ll pull over and get a photo or something.

      It’s on a road that I go down about once a week and not noticed it before. But there is a possibility that the car was moved from somewhere else after the sticker was put on it there to where it is now…

      No, It was on the outside (possibly inside??) and it was about A5 in size and stuck just under but in line with where the driver would be looking out. And it wasn't bright green like those, it was more of a dark green.

      There was some kind of logo on it, like RMS or police. But as @Singlemalt said above, it may even be a Council logo if it's an "abandoned vehicle" notice.

    I guess abandoned vehicle. In our area there are a couple of types, council ranger issued and police issued I think. The council ones seem to indicate the car shouldn’t be there and needs to be moved. The police ones seem to be more a warning to people who might start stripping it that it’s under watch and will be removed soon.

    Does the label read "Spare Parts - take what you need" or "Bonfire Site - Please light after 2:00AM".

    Are the wheels still on it? OÔ

      Let’s just say that the car is located in a “low socioeconomic community”. So I am surprised that the wheels are still on it.
