I talked to my friend who owns a tow company. They towed the car on June 30th. The letter would have been mailed the next day. So how is it we are talking about July 14th and 15th anyway?! I have heard the term "snail mail", but that is ridiculous!
Early in the case it was reported that the impound yard owners said they had the car "for some time" before they sent out the letter.
If the vehicle was locked, I would think the impound yard would have to go through the Dept. of Motor Vehicles with a plate number to get the name of the registered owner, and that might have taken some time.
That's been one of the questions I've had about the car........was it locked?
From personal experience, we once sold a car to a private party, who obviously didn't register the car, and about a year later got a letter from an impound yard about 500 miles away saying the car was there, and had been there for a month.
