I had something like this once.

I was in a car crash on a Sat. night and flew to Boston for work the next day. I got weird calls from out of state the following days telling me I had to call the impound lot who had my crashed car and fax a release form.

Wondering why I had to do this, I called the impound lot who explained that there was a shady company that would make off with your crashed car if they could talk you into releasing it, which then they could strongarm you into repairs with them or they would get the totaled vehicle if insurance went that way. That has got to be illegal, so I contacted the local PD and they simply did not care.

Shady people get rich in businesses where the police do not care. Anything car related seems to be filled with bad behavior.
