    Default Apartment Towed Car No For Reason

    Need some help from Colorado.

    My aptment complex has decals and I had mine in the window, which registers it to tenant, the car has legal tags and insurance and there was no warning sticker or phone call about the impending tow.

    So here is the time line: I Noticed back window broken and my car was broken into on Friday morning, went to work and when I returned home the car was gone. Found out it had been towed at 1:25 pm on that same friday, so the window wasn't broken for even a full 24hrs. I retrieved my car from tow yard for a mere $450! I talked to the apartment office and they said:
    They had a police officer living on site and he said my car came back stolen, (I called police dept and they confirmed my car is not registered as stolen).

    The tow company said the aptartment complex gave the reason that they did not know who the car belong to, (even though it has a decal that is registered with the apartment complex).

    I see this as not a legal tow because: it has a decal that registers it to me, all tags, plates and insurance are current, there was no notice to the impending tow, and the window was broken less than 24 hrs.

    I believe the reason that it happened was that the management was changed in the last two weeks and the decal registration info was probably not checked.

    Conclusion is if I can not get them to reimbursed the $450 then can I take legal action to get reimbursed because it was not a justified tow?
    Thank you in advance,
    Scott
