被拖車行搶了

朋友要回國3個月，把車聽到他表弟的condo地下停車場。他表弟也是第一次用到，結果停錯了位置。朋友從中國回來後發現車沒了，管理員說被拖車公司拖走了。去拖車公司，一開始要2000刀。朋友說太貴了，能不能便宜點，找了個manager出來。說根據本公司的規定，在我們停車場超過60天的車就歸我們了。你們現在馬上離開。把車裏麵的駕照和保險單還給了我朋友。ownership和GPS他們說找不到了。朋友說我沒有簽字你怎麽能拿到我的車。對方稱，警察替你簽字了。

現在是我朋友願意付2000刀，他們都不給車，把他們都趕走了。去警局報警，警察說商業糾紛他不管，要我朋友去打官司。

那個車行後來打電話來說，現在有人要買這輛車，已經付了定金。如果我朋友願意付$15,000刀。就把車給我朋友。要不然就賣給別人了。嗬嗬這個拖車公司不去幹搶劫真是屈才了。

多倫多的事情。總聽說幹拖車的都是黑社會這次信了。

Towing Issues - Lien Sale of car after only 5 days of impound

Question
We live in Contra Costa County in CA and my husband got into a accident and our car had to be towed. Well that happened on Saturday 23, 2010, so Monday 25th I went down to the place to find out how much it was going to cost and to get a couple of things out of the car. And at that time it's only been there 3 days (including Sat) it was going to be $555 to get it out (which we don't have at that time), but then the lady told me if we didn't pick up our car by Wednesday 27th that it was going to be sold in a lien sale Wednesday 27th and she told me this after she said asked for the key and said she needed the key in case they had to move it around in the lot (which I gave her). So my question is can they sell my car like that if they only had it for a total of 5 days? Also can they do it without any notification except that Monday 25th when she verbally told me it was going to be sold on the Wednesday 27th?

If your car is impounded with a 30 day police hold what is the process regarding notification before they can sell your car at a lien sale auction?

Different states have different laws on this issue.

In some states, if the police have the car on hold, the impound yard cant charge storage fees until after the hold has been taken off. (I dont understand why the police would hold it for 30 days, that's not reasonable) But, the impound yard should notify the last registered owner via certified mail letting them know the total charges and giving them 30 day to pay and pick up the vehicle. After that, they will need to take the paperwork to the magistrate for a magistrate title. That can take up to 30-45 days, in which time you can still get the vehicle if you pay the charges. After that, the impound yard will get the magistrate title and can sell the vehicle.
