I once had my car towed on a Friday night because my license was "invalid". The DMV had suspended my license for a period of time without notifying me, and after that period of time I was supposed to pay some fee to make my license valid. Again, they didn't notify me of this.
The car spent the whole weekend in the impound because it wasn't open on the weekends (although they seem to have no problem impounding more cars over the weekend). By Monday, I had to pay $300 to get the car out.
In court, I won the case when it was found that I was not properly notified of my license suspension. When I asked the judge how to get my impound fee back, I was told it was a private matter between me and the impound.
