My car is not in the list.

It may have been towed by a private company from a private lot. Look for a sign with the company name, or report it stolen.

Can I get my belongings without the car?

Yes, once, free of charge, with your ID and the registration, during business hours.

I think the tow was wrong.

Pay to release the vehicle, then request a hearing within ten days. If the tow is found invalid, the fees are refunded.
