surveyor has no right to take the car in his custody.
is the surveyor still under contract with the insurance company? If he was authorised by the insurance company for surveying the car,the insurance company is also answerable for the act of the surveyor.
what was the response of the branch manager of the insurance company?

After filing criminal case you can ask for search warrant.
