How two owners retrieved their towed car from the police impound — and what it reveals about procedures in Palma

Answer

Why was the impound case in Palma considered a failure of procedure?

The incident suggested gaps in communication, supervision, and physical security at several points in the process. A vehicle was able to leave the premises without a proper handover, and the barrier was damaged during the exit. That points to weaknesses not only in staff routines, but also in the technical safeguards around the yard.
