Unknown Person Called A Tow Truck To Tow My Friend’s Truck From My Yard

Sorry, this is long, but I appreciate any information anyone can give me!

Location: Dekalb County, Alabama

Bit of background: I live on a 3 acre property in a private subdivision that was originally meant to have an HOA, but it was never formed. There are still deed restrictions on file with the county court, but they are never enforced and I am advised that in order to do so you would have to personally go to the court and sue someone yourself. The roads within the subdivision are not county roads and aren’t maintained by the county. We have been having problems with a real estate developer who is developing multiple properties within our neighbourhood, and behaves as though he owns the entire neighborhood. It’s as though we have been living IN a construction site for two straight years. His contractors trespass on and damage our property, park their vehicles and block the road so that we cannot get in or out - with NO warning. They have multiple rentals which are forbidden by the deed restrictions, and due to their disruptive behavior in our neighborhood, I have complained to Vrbo and Airbnb multiple times to have their listings removed.

We do not know who did this, but recently someone ripped our mailbox off the post and threw it into the woods. It was not hit by a vehicle.

So this is the backdrop for today’s incident: a friend drove my son home from school recently, and her car broke down in front of our house. She left it there so she could try to fix it, and the next day when she discovered she could not fix it, she arranged for a tow which is scheduled for later today. This morning, I was out and about and my boyfriend was working from home and he let me know that someone was hooking my friend’s car up to a tow truck. This was not the tow truck that my friend had called, and we did not call them either. My friend’s tow truck is still scheduled for later today, and this is not the same company. When my boyfriend asked the tow truck driver, he informed him that. Someone had called his boss to have a truck towed “that was parked on the side of a private road for days.” It may be a private road, but it is our property and am I correct in my assumption that anyone who is not the owner of the property or the owner of the truck does not have the right to have someone else’s truck towed from someone else’s property? And if that is the case, what can I do?

I have called the towing company in an attempt to find out who called them to have my friend’s vehicle towed out of my yard. They have not called me back, and I suspect that they will not. But I simply cannot have a situation where strangers are coming onto my property and trying to remove things!
