Hey Mo your best bet is call HPD first. They can tell you which tow yard took it. Then call them and find out what they did with it. IDK how much the law will be on your side tho...

The law really isn't on your side. You are in a really tough spot unless they give you some leeway because you are serving.
In short, according to Haw. Rev. Stat. Section 290-11, the tow company will notify the registered owner at the address on record with the department of transportation. If the vehicle is not picked up within 30 days of the mailing of the notice, the car is deemed legally abandoned and can be sold at auction (pending proper public notice). After that, the car is gone. The tow company can keep the portion to cover its fees for towing, storing, etc. The rest of the proceeds are held for one year with the director of finance of Hawaii. The registered owner can file a claim with the director within one year of the sale of the vehicle and be given the balance of the sale proceeds. If you don't make a claim within one year of the sale, the proceeds go to the State. There is no provision allowing you to recover the car. Sorry.
