text: if a guy's car is impounded for a few weeks because he drove without a license, and .............? ....his car is vandalized during impoundment, can he be reimbursed for the damage?  if so, from whom? yes if you can prove it. usually however their is security cameras and pictures are taken when the car comes in and dents and things are logged.  so ask for the paperwork for the car being logged in.   then compare, if they say no damage: take a picture and have a witness of the car in the impound and make a complaint there, and  go to the police because they put the car there. would be a civil suit.
