If the city doesn't run the impound lot (and they probably don't), you're likely fucked on all the back storage fees and such.


Impound lots, and the towing companies that run them are largely crooks.

Pretty sure this one is run by the city. I could be wrong tho.

If they won't budge on the impound fees, and it's actually in good shape, you should pay them in pennies. I will help carry pennies in, if need be.

if its been that long and they haven't contacted you in the first week they couldn't identify the bike.

Either vin was scratched or damaged and or bike was too damaged.

I hope I'm wrong, but I bet it's fubar'd. Good luck!

I know when mine was recovered by dps. They called me the same night they found it. I did have to pay tow fee and one night storage. Getting the bike back was all handled through the tow co. And not dps. All I had to show was my ID. Hope it works out and the bike id in good shape.

Yep we notify the minute it is recovered. I have even had people come pic their cars up to save the tow fees. Unfortunately sometimes the phone call slips thru the cracks. I would call and see who was supposed to notify you, generally it will be on the follow up report but who knows. There is a good chance it sat at the pound until someone could properly identify it. I have seen some bikes that took a good while to ID. Go get the title then go up to the PD and ask some questions it never hurts. I know I would damn sure want to see if it was in good enough shape to pick up.

yep. I even have both keys and the remote to the alarm. Just cant find the title for shit.

I bought a car from a guy that had lost his title he went up to the DMV in Arlington and got a certified copy and the original came in the mail a week later it cost him like $5-$20

Go apply for a new title. It's easy. Once you get the form take it down to the place and it takes about 2 minutes after they call your name. I had to go to a place in Carrollton. Google how to file for a lost title and you should have all the info and can print off one of the forms to fill out.

Yep, that is the Fort Worth police impound lot alright. That just freaking sucks. All impound lots obviously will wait to rack up fees on you.

I just can't believe you can't get a copy of the police report to show you reported it stolen. That is total bull shit that they are trying to hang you out to dry with your own property. We have one fucked up judicial system.

I think it's pretty fucking AWESOME that you've almost got it back. But it's shitty that you have to show all that shit. Good luck dude!

Sounds to me like the city of Ft.Worth is trying to make money by delaying notification so the storage fees will be rediculous. I would start asking questions...depending on how much you want it back decides how much noise you make.
