K here is my problem. My car was towed by the landlady when I was moving to a new apartment. As I was not on the lease of my ex-roomie, the roomie said she didnt know whose car it was.

Now the issue isnt that my car was towed, it was off the road (Not registered) but this:

I called the landlady and she said she didnt have the car towed. I went to report the car stolen, but the police said she did have the car towed (as I now have said copy of the report stating the landlady did have it towed). I contacted the landlady again and explained that I have a police report stating that she towed it, but she insists she didnt.

Meanwhile I have no clue where my car is, and seems no one else does either.

Would I have the right to bring a small claim for the value of the vehicle against the landlady, as she is basically not telling me where my car is?

It is now at the point where storage fees are almost 1K, not to mention the running around and phone calls trying to locate my car, so retrieval is impossible.

I am estimating the fees based on past experiences with police tows at 35-50$ a day.

As the landlady was the one who towed the car as according to a police report (private tow I should add), the police do not know where or who towed it, and the landlady insists she didnt have it towed as well. That is why no one knows where my car is.
