I'd be thankful the tow truck driver was honest and didn't pocket it.

Quoted:
The bigger issue I had was refusing to allow me to get my gun, that was removed from my vehicle, and if they had run the tests/reports their policy says they do and it didn't come back as lost or stolen, that should be proof enough it was mine.

I think your mistake was leaving a handgun in the car.

Quoted:

The vehicle was parked legally but did not have the temporary tag on the rear because it was ripped from inclement weather. Rather than leave it without a tag, I placed the ripped tag on the dash so that it was legible. I went in to work and upon leaving the same day my truck was gone. First place I called was impound who did verify they had it but upon mention of the firearm they said they would search exactly where I told them. Upon arriving at the impound lot they told me there was no firearm and they had no record on the tow report nor word of mouth from the officer that a firearm had been found or one had been removed.

I called the district it was towed and they said yes the officers had found and removed it and I'd have to go through the process to get it back. I asked for a report and they said I would have to get any reports from police records.

I called police records and all they had was the tow report. Again did not indicate on it that a gun was found or the removal of any property, despite there being a specific section on the report to indicate any items removed from the vehicle. I asked for the actual report for the incident and they told me there was none but it could just be they didn't have it yet because it can take a day or 2 to show up.

I called a week later and still no police report. I asked the police officers that removed the firearm and they also said no report exists. I asked the district commander and she said no report exists.

Because they didn't see the temp tag on the dash they did not associate the vehicle with anyone and therefore didn't write up and citations or reports on the incident.

Apparently they can remove a firearm from a vehicle but not write up any kind of report on it.

ETA: I don't know if they ran those or not, because again they didn't simply enter it as property. They entered it as a found firearm, same as if they'd found a random gun on the street or in a park.
