Look for damage around the driver's side window or evidence your window isn't rolling up and down properly. They'll often use a pry bar to pull the window out a little, then hammer a wedge into that gap to pry the window open further so they can get to the interior lock controls to release the brake and put the vehicle in neutral. They're supposed to use plastic tools for that to prevent damage to the paint, but the metal and paint on our cars is so fragile I wouldn't expect that to make much of a difference.
I used to live in an apartment building around the block from the main strip in Nashville. We had signs plastered at the entrance to our parking lot, every ten feet along the fence and on posts in the center warning people not to park there without a permit. The stupid hillbillies would park there anyway. Every Friday and Saturday night the towing company would make the rounds pulling out every vehicle that didn't have a hangtag. Sometimes they would pick up the end of the car that was available to them, drag it out into the lane and then either grab the locked end or pull it up onto a rollback. They never dragged one beyond the parking lot with locked wheels touching the ground, though.
Why was your car towed?
