It's difficult to prove that a vehicle was damaged during towing unless the damage is directly related to the way the vehicle was towed. Some examples would be AWD (All Wheel Drive) vehicles being towed on 2 wheels destroying the drive train components, damaged bumpers, or bent control arms from tow hooks. As well, personal property is the owners responsibility to keep out of the vehicle at all times. Your best bet is going to be filing a claim with your auto insurance agent (given you had insurance at this point in time.)
If you are unable to do so due to being under, or uninsured - contact the bank that owns the vehicle and find out who the tow company that reposessed the vehicle. You may be able to take them to small claims court, and if not get money back on the deal - have the bank reduce the amount you owe if they are found At Fault for the damage. If you own the vehicle, and you have taken delivery of it back from the impound, an insurance claim, or small claims court are your best options.
If you have photographs of the vehicle taken just before it was reposessed, they will be your best tools in either case to prove the condition of the vehicle was changed during the process.

If your husband has stolen property can you be held liable for not returning it?
That could be a stretch, but you can possibly be charged with knowingly having stolen property and not reporting it.
What is the minimum sentence for dealing in stolen property?
About the same as for the person who initially stole the property. Since you are selling known stolen property, one could face the same charges or more. See: http://pelleylawgroup.com/practice-areas/property-crimes/possession-of-stolen-property/
What recourse do you have if you unknowingly purchase stolen property?
Absolutely not. Recovered stolen property is returned to the rightful owner. If a reasonable person knows, or has reason to know, that property that has come into their possession, through gift or purchase, is potentially stolen, and that person maintains that property, they are guilty of possession of stolen property. This means that if your friend sells you a $2000.00 stereo for $100.00 (which is obviously a deal too good to be true) and you keep the property believing that it may be stolen, you could be charged with a crime. You should also keep in mind that you can say that you didn't believe that the property was stolen when you kept it; however, if a jury of twelve people think that you should have had enough common sense to know the property was stolen, you could still be convicted.
