I'm confused.
Your id says you are from Melbourne, yet from reading your story I'm assuming that the car was stolen in Queensland.
If your car was recovered in Queensland, it is the Queensland coppers responsibility to contact you.
If you walked into a Police Station in another state, they would have checked your reg and discovered it was recovered thereby telling you.
In Victoria, the first point of call at a stolen vehicle recovery is contact the owner. Whether it be 3am or whenever, we'll wake you up. We need to know what you want us to do with the car. If it gets towed it is at your expense. If you want us to secure it as much as we can and leave it with the possibility of being re-stolen, that's your call.
