What happens if a stolen vehicle is found after you collect from insurance?
Q. What happens in a situation if you have a stolen vehicle and time goes by and it hasn't been recovered. You collect money from your insurance company for you loss and spend that money on another vehicle or whatever. What happens if your stolen vehicle is found AFTER you collect that insurance money. Is is still considered your vehicle and returned to you? Does it belong to the insurance company? Would you have to pay the insurance company the money back in order to get your stolen vehicle that was found? Could the owner of that vehicle ever have the option of having that vehicle back if recovered after collecting from the insurance? Or is it considered no one's vehicle anymore after a certain amount of time?

A. The vehicle legally belongs to the insurance company. If the vehicle is wrecked they will sell it for salvage. If it's still in one piece they will sell it. You may be able to keep the vehicle, however you will have to pay back the money the insurer gave you if the vehicle is still in the same condition, or you will have to pay the insurer the salvage value.

How do you identify a vehicle is equipped with a LATCH System?
Q. How do you tell if a vehicle is equipped with a LATCH System? Bonus: Is there a list of vehicles that includes (or excludes) such a safety system?

A. First thing to do would be to check your manual. If for some reason you don't have that there will usually be an indicator with a picture of a car seat on it near where the LATCH would be located. Some cars have a flap on the seat that cover the LATCH others just have them wedged between the seat bottom and back. If there isn't a flap to move or an indicator you can stick your hand in the crack of the seat and slide it along until you hit it. There is no "list" of cars with LATCH. But all cars made after Sep 2002 are required to have LATCH. Some cars as old as 2000 have LATCH, but again I don't know of any list. ETA~~ They can not retro fit the LATCH system but they can retro fit the top tether. I have a '96 Accord and I installed… [cont.]

Q. What exactly happens to your vehicle when the police ends up seizing your vehicle? Is it possible you'll be able to get your vehicle back or does the police get to keep your vehicle regardless if it was used in a commission of a felony or misdemeanor crime.

A. Terminology may vary by state, but in my area we have 'storage' tows and 'impound' tows. Typically, vehicles that are towed after an accident or as the result of an arrest (such as drunk driving) where the vehicle is not considered 'evidence' result in 'storage' tows. This category can also include tows for things like blocking a fire lane, blocking a driveway, and blocking the roadway. In many departments, the procedure to recover a vehicle that has been 'stored' would include getting a release form from the Police Department (that may or may not include an administrative fee) and then paying the tow and storage fees to the tow company. Vehicles that are towed that need to be held for some reason are 'impounded'. This would include… [cont.]
