celegorm hinted that I might be able to help, I did work for a firm of solicitors here on the Isle of Wight, but that was for 4 years part-time up to 1996, & a lot has changed in law regarding situations like this, yes the police forces all over England are strapped for cash, the most glaring difference is that a bobby on the beat is a rare sight indeed, I sometimes wonder if they have legs nowadays, only last week I saw someone knocked off their bike as a police car slowly passed by, they must have seen it happen, but they didn't stop, they act like the two coppers in "The Last of the summer wine" who do their best not to see any trouble, but back to your predicament, I'm afraid I can't help, as much as I'd like to Steff, can't your boyfriend help you out, perhaps with a loan to at least get your car out of the police pound?, just an idea, [don't be too proud to ask him!]
The Police have evolved as has our legal system.
The Witchcraft Act is generally no longer used for one thing.
As far as insurance goes, you have no option. Your car is a writeoff and, as such, the Police are obliged to return it to you so that you can deal with it. Your car is not roadworthy and most likely never will be.
And if you will read that rambling statement again you will see immediately that Brookfield has offered no advice whatsoever. If you want to see Police on the beat, come to London. There are literally thousands of them, with assault rifles and everything.
