Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicle Towing

How do I find out if my vehicle was towed or stolen?
Always start by querying the official online vehicle search portal for your city: findmytow.cityofchicago.org for Chicago, opglaviic.com for Los Angeles, or autoreturn.com for San Francisco. If not found in the online database after 2 hours, call the municipal 24/7 tow dispatch hotline or non-emergency police.
Can I dispute a wrongful street sweeping tow?
Yes. Each city provides a statutory right to request an administrative hearing (10 days in LA under CVC § 22852, 15 days in Chicago, and 21 days in SF). Valid defenses include missing or obscured signs, less than 24–72 hours notice, and stolen vehicle reports.
