Towing Issues: condominium towing, tow company, condo association

Question
My wife and I am a unit owner @ 3rd Fairlawn condominium in Stamford, CT. Both of our vehicles are registered for parking with the condo association. We are required to to have a tag hanging in our window while parked. The is also a note on the tag that read "don't drive with tag". We are always careful to place this tag back in the window when we park in any of the lots. I called the super this morning and he advised me that he did not request towing of any of the five vehicles that were towed between last night and this morning. The towing company is requesting $178.25 from me to pick up my car. My question is, why don't the condo association provide a list of registered plate numbers to the hired towing agency to cross check before towing? There is a chance that residence may forget to hang this tag. Also, why is the towing company allowed to tow without at least a warning? Are there laws to protect us from this? Even the state police give warning before towing.

Answer
Well first of all I want to ask how do you know that you are supposed to have the tag hanging in the window ?

Oh I guess it is in the lease agreement correct?
Does it also say that vehicles without the tag visible will be towed ??

The notice of "don't drive with tag" most likely is because it restricts vision and as such could be the cause of an accident...

Now on to the question at hand...

From what you described the tags are hanging type from mirrors inside vehicles and as such are not permanently attached to the vehicle.. This also means that they are highly portable... If your car was wrecked and you were driving a rental then your tag could be in that vehicle most likely...  
Given this case if there was a master list of registered plate number at the tow company would that vehicle "WITH TAG" be on that list... In that case would it be able to be towed, it has a tag, but the plate is not on the list...
Or your parents come visit and you place a tag in their vehicle, it's not on the list...

And then given that people are always trading or buying different vehicles that creates a problem... And how often should the list be updated.. Monthly or yearly.

I hope you understand what I am saying here.

Now as to the super not authorizing the towing of the vehicles, I can not answer that specifically but I bet the tow company has a contract with the complex to patrol the parking lot for vehicles not in compliance with the rules and regulations...
Also I know that Connecticut also has other agencies which tow vehicles for unpaid parking tickets, unpaid registrations and such...

Could you or any of the others been towed for that reason...
Was the tag in your vehicle properly displayed or had it fallen down.. Was it up to start with?
There are many questions here which were not covered or explained, and as such I can only make guesses at some of the answers...

As to warnings, well yes some times it seems like a good thing to give warnings, but remember that you did get a warning in the lease.

Plus the state police as you said gives a warning before towing and that does not always happen... Did you get a warning before your last speeding ticket, or wreck... Did a burglar leave you a warning letter that he is going to rob you...  Warnings while practical do not always seem practical to give for various reasons...  At 2 am who do you call if your assigned parking place is taken and you have no idea of who owns the vehicle... What if the super is not available, is there other people who are authorized to handle the problem...

I hope you can understand the point that I am trying to make, it does not solve the immediate problem and as such actions have to be taken.
