More details to this question:
I was arrested for felony aggravated assault with deadly weapon. My vehicle was towed and held. I went to retrieve. I was told it was under Police Hold and court release was necessary to obtain it. I was subsequently detained and unable to obtain it. Also not able to receive or respond to any notices sent by towing company.

I would sue at least for your money back and if the towing company jumped the gun in selling the car then the value of the car.

You may be out of luck. It will depend on how long you were "unable" to get it taken care of.
