Re: Tow Company sold my car and changed title without one signature from me

First, if the vehicle was sold pursuant to a DMV lien, you should have recieved notice prior to the sale. If you did not receive any notice and the tow company engaged in the acts you describe, you may be able to sue them.

You should spend the time, and perhaps the money, to consult with an attorney in your area so that you can completely describe what occurred to see whether or not you have a claim.
