Re: Illegal release of vehicle

You can and should report the vehicle stolen.

Furthermore, the tow yard is responsible for your car while it is within their possession, custody & control. If you cannot get your car back, or your car is damaged, you can pursue them legally. The value of your car will determine whether you pursue them in small claims court or you need to hire to lawyer.
