Legal Question in Traffic Law in Massachusetts

Towing Law Question
Hello Law Guru,

I recently had a 1996 Chevy Corsica which was currently deemed in-operable and the price to fix it far exceeded what it was worth. Therefore I was going to donate my car to a charity they were going to pick up my car at my house.

I removed my license plates and cancelled my insurance on Saturday January 15th, on Sunday January 16th; I realized my car was gone. I called the charity to see if they had come a day earlier to pick the car up and they didn't, I called the Revere police department to see if it had been towed and they said it had and gave me the towing company's name and number.

I called them and explained that the car doesn't work anymore, it's not insured, and it�s no longer registered, and would it be possible for the charity to come there and pick the car up? The individual I spoke to said not only WAS THAT NOT POSSIBLE, it was $140 to get the car out of their tow yard and for every day that passed they were going to charge me $20 and if I don't pick up the car after a week that they were going to sue me.

I just want to know if you can give me any advice as to what to do or if in fact they can sue me for trying to help a charity.
