Nope. they just yank the car out. Most people know they parked in the wrong spot so they can go straight to the tow company. But, to cover their asses, as soon as the tow truck company has the car, they report it to the cops so when you call the cops to report it stolen, the cops know the tow truck company has it.

reverse that. call police, report it stolen, if the cops don't say anything about a tow company, then find the signs and the HOA and all that and double check the tow company doesn't have it. Meanwhile, you need to have the process already going with the insurance company. They don't like it when you delay getting the police report and even more so when you delay in calling them.

I'm really sorry bud.
Hopefully it turns up and any damages will be covered by insurance.
*crosses fingers* hope you had better than minimal coverage too to cover all those goodies.
