If it is part of the evidence of the crime, it can be held until the court case is completed. If it is necessary for it to be returned you may ask for a "release" from the prosecutor's office, but it might not be granted if the vehicle is of primary importance to the case.

a police officer may hold a car as long as needed until all the paperwork is completed and everybody in the accident is ok.....however if anybody is hurt they may hold the car longer to examine the vehicles and make sure they are drivable and move them off of the road way if possible

The statute of limitations on grand theft auto is typically seven years. There is no limit if a homicide was involved. If the car was derelict or a toy car, the theft may be a misdemeanor. You haven't really given enough detail in your question.

Please post your name, address, the make and model of the car and when you stole the car. I will be able to give you a much better answer.
