Best Answer

If you are found in a missing or stolen vehicle, regardless of your reason for being in it, you will almost certainly be charged with a criminal offense. Grand Theft Auto would be the most severe, but Unauthorized Use or Tampering of a Motor Vehicle would be more likely. To get out of it you'll have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you had no idea that the vehicle stolen, and that you had a legitimate reason to be in it.

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.
