Since your car was seized as part of "evidence" with respect to a criminal matter that you have written about, your car will be held by law enforcement in an impound yard until the underlying case is resolved or when the district attorney's office no longer believes that your car is needed as evidence. When that is decided, you get your vehicle back.
