Q: I crashed my car into a tree 7 days ago and went to jail. I have not received any notification as to where it is.
*No towing sheet given.
*Are other people allowed to be released information on the vehicle such as stalker Mom (I am 30/31 on 8/22) with no claim to the vehicle whatsoever? --What privacy laws are there? How can I be charged for storage without any notification whatsoever all week?
*My birth certificate and SS Card are in the glove box (URGENT) also with my name and phone number on several service receipts.

A: Call the police department that arrested you. They MUST know where the vehicle was towed. Go get it, and limit your storage fees. State laws allow a tow company to SELL your vehicle, if not picked up within a certain number of days.
