A: The reason the car was impounded could impact the steps you take next. The police could have a hold on it for a variety of reasons (suspicion of it being stolen, need to process it as evidence, considering filing a forfeiture action against it, etc.). If the vehicle was impounded and you were arrested at the same time, request the attorney you hire in the criminal case to talk to the police department to find out why there is a hold.
