Lets start off from this point.

Its my parking lot, I am a condo owner. There are no set limits on the number of vehicles I can own and operate and have on the lot. The car was given to me by my father. Still in his name, but with me as a registered driver on his insurance. The plates will expire this month and I was making arrangements to move it into my name, as the plates are out of state. I have had numerous conversations about my vehicles with the company that manages this condo assoc. And each time they make a note.

I am an owner.
Car is in my use.
Car is legal.
Lot is private and for use by owners.

Assoc. posts tows 72 hour notice.
I call them and chat some.
They still tow the car.
I owe the towing company $165.

I have to wonder if I have any legal recourse to teach the Managing entity a lesson in this matter. I could understand if the car was broken down, or unlicensed, but none of that applies.

Anyone have some ideas? Obviously I have to pay to get the car as its gaining storage fees. But I do not think I should have to pay it, as I view the tow as illegal since I am an occupying owner that uses the vehicle in question.
