How can I get my car's VIN if it was towed?

If your car was towed and you don't have any vehicle information on it at all, you may want to call your local police department as all towing companies are required to notify the authorities when a vehicle is towed. Provide the time and place where the vehicle was towed, and they may be able to help you retrieve your car from the towing company. If it was towed from a private property, like an apartment complex or shopping center, you will need to get with the management office to obtain the towing company's information. If you have insurance on the vehicle, the policy or proof of insurance card will have the VIN number. (You should also be aware that in order to claim your vehicle, you will have to show proof of ownership by way of title.)
