More details to this question:
I parked in my friends apartment complex in South Carolina to help her with her homework. When i came back outside a company was towing my car and said i was unauthorized because i did not have a sticker. But, I am from Ohio and had no idea about a sticker being placed in my vehicle. He was very rude and told me oh well. Isn't that like stealing? I have heard of tickets being given for parking but not towing . My friend told me nothing about a sticker. Please help me ! Thankyou

If it is a private lot, the property owners can have your car towed without warning. They don't have to just give you a ticket. That happens all the time in downtown Charleston. Usually there is a sign, a notice to people, that it is a private lot and unauthorized vehicles will be towed. Look for that sign near the entrance to the lot and that might clear up your confusion.
