Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts

My son was arrested and his car was towed. Two days later I went to get his car and was told I couldn't have it. It was being held by the police. I asked when I could have it, they said you can't. Hadn't heard anything about the car so I called two days ago and was told it was towed to a tow yard three weeks ago. When I asked why I wasn't notified since I was looking for the car, was told I was not my son. He is 30 years old and they only had to notify him. When asked if they notified him, they said no, he's in jail. Called the tow truck company. Got a completely different rate of storage from them and was told I had to get a letter from my son giving me permission to get the car. Was told I can't get anything out of the car without paying the amount due as of yesterday ($1100). I asked them when they intended to notify someone. They said they send a letter out after six months (when the bill is through the roof). What are my options and is this legal.

it would cost you more money to hire a lawyer than to redeem the car
