If the property manager initially gave you permission to park your car in the lot, having it towed later seems questionable, especially when other vehicles with illegal registration were not towed. The key issues here are the removal of your license plates due to vandalism and the contradictory... View More

What Oath Ceremony? Citizenship? Police force? Usually traffic citations are not considered crimes that you have to report on taking an oath regarding pending criminal actions.

Notify your insuance to be on the safe side. Have an attorney draft a cease and desist letter. They can also give you a couple of short sentences you can respond to. If they aren't getting a rise out of you, sooner or later they will find something else.
