Retain an attorney and speak only with that attorney as you could incriminate yourself even by telling the police you loaned your car to another if that person was not properly licensed, for example. Good Luck!

Re: seizure of car

Unfortnately, the police seem to be holding your car as evidence. You may also be charged since all they have for identification is likely your plate. You should call the police and explain that you lent your car to someone. However, understand that they will then charge your friend with the appropriate charges. You should have an attorney with you when you speak to the police. You need to be careful not to incriminate yourself somehow.
