Owe towing fees?

[acolyte]

What is the name of your state? Hawaii

My stolen truck was recovered, stripped and undriveable. The police ordered it towed to a contracted towing company. The company contacted me to pay for the towing, 200 something dollars. The truck has no value to me. The company can have it. As I read the Hawaii revised statutes, the towing company can sell it after 30 days. (this is fine by me.) Do I have to pay the fees to the towing company if I do nothing since I don't want the truck? The truck is owned by me, no lienholders.
Thanks....John

My response:

If the tow company (TC) is unable to recoup their storage fees, and their costs to sell your truck, and all other associated costs, then yes, you'll still be on the hook for any deficiency because the vehicle is yours.
