It all depends on the reason for the impound and the local laws regarding the reason for the impound. In Florida, a PRIVATE IMPOUND (not repossession) is to be held 50 days, not including date of impound or date of sale, if the vehicle is three years of age or less. If older than three years of age, a vehicle must be held 35 days not including date of impound or date of sale. The calendar year is used in computing age of vehicle. (Example for 2007: Vehicle year models considered three years of age or less would include 2005, 2006 or 2007 and vehicles 2004 or prior are considered more than three years years of age. Sale dates can be extended but not accelerated.

∙ 13y agoAssuming it is a residential road in the state of California, with legal parking and no posted signs restricting the parking, technically your car should not be left in the same spot for more than 72 hours. In my experience, the police will not put notification on your windshield until after 72 hours, at which point you have an additional 72 hours before they will tow it. So in reality you could probably leave it for 6 days (i've left it for much more), but legally you should only leave it for 3 days.

If you have no driving license and money.can police keep vehicle?
It depends on the laws where you live. In the UK a car can be impounded if it is not Taxed, has valid MOT and the DVLA are not informed that it is off the road. Police can also impound if a driver is caught in the vehicle on her Majesties highway without the correct licence, insurance and mot certificate or if they feel that its is not of a road worthy condition In most US states and cities, YES. To get your car back, you have to have a valid drivers license, registration, insurance, etc... If you do not have the money to get it out of impound, it will go to auction after a certain period of time.
Is it legal in the state of Indiana for an impound lot to hold your personal belongings inside your car until you pay a fee?
Yes, it certainly is. In fact, they are required by law to hold your personal property for you to be able to claim it. It is ingenious that they keep it in the vehicle. It is common practice that they will not release it to you until the storage fee is paid.
Can the impound lot keep the items in your vehicle if your car was reported stolen?
No.Another View: The police may retain any items found in the car pending proof that they actually are your property.REMEMBER: The car was reported stolen... and then it was recovered and impounded. The perpetrators MAY have used the vehicle during a crime spree and stashed their stolen goods in the car. The owner of the stolen vehicle would not be the beneficiary of the stolen goods just because they were in his vehicle. and they may have to present proof that the items found in the car actually belong to them.

Can a warrant be taken out on you if you fail to keep insurance on a vehicle with a title pawn?
No, but what you will do is invalidate your plates, and if you get caught driving it, or you park it on a public roadway, etc., then it goes into impound, and, if you don't get it out of impound soon enough, the agency which put it there puts a lien on it, and that lien will take precedence over any other claim to that vehicle's title, and so the pawnbroker will either have to eat that loss, or they'll file a lawsuit against you.
