Towing Issues: car towing, park lot, car towing

Question
I own a condo in a complex that has multiple "parking in common" spaces and i had my truck in one.  The manager of the complex sent me a registered letter (my mother signed for) i had one week to move my truck or she would tow it.
I have lived in the condo for 12 years and the last year have had to move in with my mother who has Alzheimer's. but i left my condo but did not move.  i stay at mom's mostly but i come home a day or two a month.  i left my truck in a parking spot in the common parking area.  the manager says i am storing it.  it is licensed insured and legal.  a week and a day after the registered letter, she had it towed away.  how is that ok?  there has never been any mention in the minutes of the homeowners association meetings of it before or after. my mother didn't remember signing for the letter and i didn't come across it until a month later.  how can this manager (also an owner and pres of homeowners assoc.) do this?  she has no right to decide it is being stored, she doesn't live here and when i worked nights i drove it every day and because it was in the park lot in the daytime, she still thought i was storing it!  she left a note on the windshield 2 years ago saying i couldn't store it there.  i wasn't and it's none of her business is it?  there is a boat in that area and it's been there at least a year, she has no problem with it..she's mad because i have another truck i drive that she wanted to buy and i wouldn't sell it to her, i keep it at my mothers.
it was at the condo too for a long time but only a few days after i moved it out she sent the letter.  what can i do?
Thank you for any help you can provide me.

Answer
Melty, Nobody likes a nonconsent tow and understand your frustration. After reading everything I would think you don't live there too? That might be the communication problem with you and the property manager.  With a true condo ownership you do own it or allowed to live there until you finishing paying the mortgage :). If you lease the condo and have to renew every six months or a year it's an apartment. In any case there is a limited number of parking spaces available for you to use. I'll assume that the condo is in your name and in good standing and the vehicle is listed as property being garaged at that location. If you still live there and have the truck in acceptable condition within the terms and conditions of the housing association and park in your assigned parking spot with a properly displayed parking permit, you might have a point. The property manager has the right to remove any vehicle that would violate any terms and conditions within the parking procedures in the association. The property manager is responsible for everything within the housing community including the parking lot. She did the proper procedure on sending the certified letter and did give you the chance to remove or plead your case before the tow. I understand your mother's condition and it's a cruel disease but the fact is the property manager can not be held responsible for your mother not notifying you in time.
