Towing Issues: Tow of Vehicle in Condo Complex, visitor space, 8k miles


Question
Often residents park in "visitors" spaces in my complex and I had a vehicle parked in a visitor space for about 2 weeks (I was driving my other car at the time).  During this time, my vehicle was "tagged" saying that "inop vehicles will be towed".  I saw the tag and moved the vehicle to my unit and removed the tag.  A few weeks later, I had the vehicle parked again in visitor parking for about a week, the vehicle was towed.  During the tow, the operator dragged the vehicle and ruined a $200 tire by wearing it down to the cords.  The tires on the vehicle had ~8k miles on them, with 90-95% tread remaining.  
The tow company was not licensed in the county where I live (where the car was towed from) the company also towed my car out of the county (which is against the nonconsent tow law in my county).  When I paid the $125 to get my car out of hock, they said they would find me a "similar used tire, but probably not the same brand" to "replace" the ruined tire.  I refused this accommodation, stating that it is not safe practice to mix tires on the same axle and that all tires were of the same age (nearly new) and of the same brand and tread.  They refused to accommodate further so I got the vehicle and plan on filing a civil suit.

Here are my questions.  

1.) Could an incorrect notice (that a vehicle was inop when it was not) still be considered "ample notice" after the vehicle was moved and later re-located?

2.)  Since other used visitor parking for their vehicles, is there ground for liability due to selective enforcement by the HOA or management agent?

3.) Is the HOA and/or management company liable for damages to the tire since they hired an unlicensed tow company?

Thanks.

Answer
Did you ever contact management/HOA about your vehicle being tagged the first time? Does the HOA have clear or expressed terms and conditions on parking regulations in the contract? Is the vehicle any way considered inoperative according to the contract? Just because you move the vehicle to another parking space doesn't necessary mean the process starts over again. If this went to court a judge would ask why you didn't immediately contact management on the first notice if your vehicle wasn't in violation, then you moved it and again put it back in visitor parking for days or weeks at a time. You must have a better answer or explanation than everyone else does it. This sort of action tends to appear as though it was in violation. Most tow companies call this a shell game, when people move the vehicle around the complex in hopes the violating vehicle doesn't get noticed. Same as removing stickers with the hopes that everything starts over again or try disputing the vehicle was never tagged. As for the selective enforcement do you have any strong undisputed proof that a judge could review that you are being singled out. This will require documentation, witnesses or testimony, pictures, etc. With what you have stated so far in my opinion it's not that strong or in your favor. As for the tire the tow company has no right what so ever to damage your vehicle! If that tire is still in production you should be rightful reimbursed for the same tire. The damages are between the tow company and you not management or HOA. Also, licensing is the tow companies responsibility not the HOA. The tow company should have given you a detailed explanation on the reason why the vehicle was towed. Court should be the last resort but before this option I suggest a meeting with a HOA/management, towing company and you. The meeting should be professional and respectful to find a solution or recommendation to the problem so this doesn't happen again. Maybe in good faith the tow company or management might reimburse some or all of the tow expense. Hopefully everything will get resolved quickly and amicably.
