So , The other day my neighbors car was stolen. The vehicle made it on the 6 pm news, as it was involved in a high speed police chase that ended in nail strips puncturing the tires, and a full on arrest. The part to know, is that the police do NOT impound your vehicle as you might think, the allowed an outside towing company to tow the vehicle not to a police impound lot, not to some evidence lot, but to a private lot.
Seth gets to the lot that the police department told them about, and Seth discovers that because his car was behind on registration he cannot gain custody of his car, and each day it sits here it accrues more fees. They do NOT work with the victims.
Seth, just had his second child only 9 weeks ago, he lost his job 2 weeks ago. He has nothing and for him it is getting worse. His car was stolen and all he had was liability insurance. Now he cannot get it out of impound because the bill is more than the car is worth. Seths father passed away this week...The funeral expense comes before the vehicle. imagine that....
I wonder if the city is broke, wouldn't it be a good thing to impound stolen cars and have the victims recover their vehicles from the impound lot, not a private lot. The impound lot that seems ridiculous to me.. Can anyone tel me why a car would be placed in a private lot after a police chase? this doesn't seem like proper protocol.
