description of the vehicle;
location of vehicle;
violation with which the owner is charged, if any;
procedure the owner must follow to have the vehicle returned to him; and
procedure the owner must follow to request a probable cause hearing on the towing.

The magistrate will set the hearing within 72 hours of his receiving the request. The only issue at this hearing is whether or not probable cause existed for the towing.

Any aggrieved party may appeal the magistrate's decision to district court.
