How do I get my truck back if someone took it, crashed it and fled, and the police are now holding it until they find individual?

My truck was taken from my driveway without my knowledge. It was wrecked

and impounded. The deputy says it was because my exboyfriend was driving

on suspension. He wasn’t even around when the incident occurred. The truck

is in my name alone. The police say that since the truck has his name and number on a sign it shows ownership. They refuse to release the hold until he

turns himself in for charges he didn’t do.
