The thing is I found out 5 months later. Now its time to track down who bought it, and get it back.Thanks for the help guys, I knew someone would know where it could have gone.
Not many Evos on the island, and this is the only one in that color.

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.
