Nope. The police don't tow cars. They hire private tow companies. Who get most of their money out of storage fees. So it is not in their interest to notify anyone too quickly. They wait until their expenses exactly or slightly overmatch the book value, then notify. They often retain possession of the car in those cases.
Of course, the police are knowing accomplices. And I can guarantee who contributes more to the Police Benevolent Fund (between you and the tow operator).
