I've learnt that police impounds allow you to get back your vehicles that disappeared after cutscenes, as well as vehicles inside which you were when you got busted. I've also heard that they can be used as save garages(like the safehouse garages) and they often exhibit strange behaviors(cars spawn on top of each other, partially inside each other, partially submerged in the floor etc.; also, planes and helicopters have been know to spawn inside police impounds, especially the one in Roca Escalante, Las Venturas ).
However, impound garages don't function this way for me. They very rarely behave in a strange way and they don't spawn my vehicles that disappeared after cutscenes, nor do vehicles inside which I was arrested appear in the impounds.
Can anyone explain?
IMPORTANT NOTE: I play San Andreas(and all my other games) on PC. I've never used consoles and I know almost nothing about them. Maybe the impound garages behave in the way described above only on PS2.

Btw, your car being impounded when you're busted is a myth.

I had no idea there was such a long thread about impounds at GTA Forums. I didn't know that using the impound garages was so complicated.

I didn't know that either. Some time ago I came across a post which read:

Andromada+Busted=what the hell is gonna happen in the police impound

and this made me think that the purpose of impound garages was to retain the vehicle inside which the player was when he got busted. Eventually I found the article on GTA wiki about impounds and learnt more.
