Question Details: my girlfriend took my key and car and i didnt know about it. she called me when she got pulled over. I went down to the site and found out they were impounding my car because her license was revoked. i didnt tell the police that she took my car without my knowledge, because i didnt want to get her into more trouble than she was already in and she said she would pay to get it out of impound. she hasnt done anything and i was wondering if there is someway i can tell the police what really happened and get my car back?
You're still going to have to put up the towing, impound and storage fees before they'll release the vehicle. That's the way it works, and in most places, the storage charges are by the day. So you need to get the money paid and get the car out, first of all. If there are charges against you from this, you'll probably need to wait until the court date for those and you get them resolved.
All too often, trying to protect someone else only gets you involved in their troubles. You're going to have to work out the responsibility for the costs of this between you and your girlfriend, the police simply are not going to get involved or try to collect from her, for you. They have the car, and they'll give it back when it's paid for.
