There is such a thing as "usual and customary" practices and charges. I believe in my locale one of the many business regulating authorities have defined what the usual and customary charge for storage is in absence of an agreement. It might be worth a few phone calls to see if it is the same there. I believe they will also have methods for declaring it abandoned and taking ownership of it. There should be some method in place to prevent Tom from getting stuck storing this guys car without payment.
