Answer

What can happen if you drive away from an impound in Mallorca without paying?

Driving away from an impound without paying can lead to police investigation and possible criminal charges. In Mallorca, the problem is that the vehicle is no longer freely available once it is under custody, so removing it without permission can be treated as unlawful. It can also make the situation worse if the car is stopped later on the road.
