I still think this whole situation was pre-planned by the OP as a way to claim he's not responsible,,,,

my car only have the basic insurance that doesnt cover for stolen/burned. its just the basic to be able to drive around. why would i pland to burn my own car when i cant get any money from the insurance company. i know this is hard people to believe that this is true.but this is 100% true what happen

i was driving to the store buy some food when i came across a car was buring and i call the cop.
Personally, I would have called a fireman, but I imagine that eventually, the cop did.

Then when I came up closer to look and i realize it was my car that was burn.
Wow, what are the odds? How did you actually discover it was your car? Was it in your garage? Did you try your keys in the door? Did the screams coming from the trunk sound just like your mother in law?

I was there when the police did the police report.
Did they let you wear handcuffs?

the next day i call a towning company to go towe it and junk it.
This is where you need to provide a little clarification.
Where exactly was your stolen car sitting when you discovered it burning on the way to buy food? Was it on a street or highway? Was it in a field? a parking lot? In other words, where was the towing company you called the next day, supposed to pick the car up from? After the smoke cleared, did the police just leave the burned out shell sit where it had burned, or was it a hazard, parked in an unsafe location where it might be hit by another vehicle that could come along and not notice it?

i have pay them $100 and sign a paper to release any liability to the towning company.
This was the towing company that you yourself called the next day, that you gave the $100.oo to and the signed paperwork or title correct?

it was at night and they couldnt get in to towe the car.
How did it get to be night when you called them the next day?
Where couldn't they get into, to tow the car? It sounds like it was now in another towing companies storage yard, not in the one you called. Perhaps the one the police called in to remove the hazard from the roadway on the night it burned?

i call the city police to go open the gate for the towning company to go towe the car but they didnt have the key to open the gate and say they will give the towning company a call the next day.
Your losing me here. Who's gate was it that the police didn't have the key to? Because it certainly sounds like another towing company was called to come remove the vehicle on the night it burned, most likely by the police. But it was not the same towing company which you called the next day. If so, then no, the police wouldn't have a key to this other towing company's gate. However, this other towing company, the one who the police called to remove the vehicle on the night it burned, would now have an outstanding bill for coming out to pick up your burned up car and haul it to their yard. Their yard would have a locked gate for which only they have the key. They will not unlock this gate to release a car, unless their bill has been paid.

Then a few day later i went to the towning company and give them the pinkslip and went to the dmv and to give them the other half of the release of ownership paper.
Which towing company are you talking about now? I thought you already signed a release and gave the paperwork to the towing company you called, the day after you discovered it burning? Which towing company did you visit a few days later? The same one you called and gave paperwork to the day after the burning? This doesn't make any sense.


then like 3 week later i got a bill from another towing company.
Jesus, how many towing companies are we talking about now?

It must be that you were completely oblivious to the fact that the police had called a towing company to pick up your burned up car the same night of the incident. The minute they hooked up the car, you owed them money for doing so. They would not release your car to the towing company you called, or anyone else, until; their bill was paid. You never paid them and so the vehicle continued to sit in their yard collecting storage charges every day it was there. You owe this towing company the money, your not going to confuse the issue enough to escape these charges.
What did you do when you received a bill from this towing company who the police had take your vehicle the night it burned?

It's unfortunate that your stolen vehicle burned, but what's more unfortunate, is that now it's your turn to burn, financially.

This is all I can come up with, now I need an aspirin, an ice pack and some sleep,,,

Here is the standard police response to the recovery of a stolen vehicle ... we tow it - even if burned However, if the owner is at the scene, the police just might have said, "You take care of it," and left it in his custody to be his issue.

The bottom line is still the same - if the RL and the associated paperwork supports his time frame, the OP is going to be able to wash his hands of this. if not, then he might be up a creek.

Sorry, I'm trying to understand your posts, but I feel like I'm trying to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics.
So, please, just answer these questions.

1. Who's gate was your vehicle locked behind?
2. Who did you pay and get a receipt from?
3. Where couldn't the tow truck get into? What was too big?
4. What did you do, or how did you respond to the letter/notice/bill you received from the mystery tow company, three weeks after the incident?

OK, well it is obvious that this other towing company came into possession of your vehicle at some point,,,, do you know who the authority was that authorized or requested for them to tow your vehicle? Was it the local police, or possibly the railroad police?
Did you ask them?
What did they tell you when you spoke to them after receiving a bill from them?
