Am I wrong for making my boyfriend pay to get my car out of impound?

My boyfriend of 4 years recently started using my vehicle because the engine in his truck went. I live in an apartment complex that doesn't have parking so I have to park my vehicle beside the church on the street but it's visible from my window.

Well, yesterday he went to price out a vehicle and obviously used my car to do so. We were due to have a massive storm so I told him he would have to park the car in the parking garage down the street and walk back because there was a parking ban. When he got back I had looked out the window and didn't see my car so I just assumed he had parked it in the garage like I had told him to.

This morning I walked down to the parking garage and didn't see my vehicle anywhere so I called and asked him where my car was and he said "beside the church". But it wasn't beside the church because it obviously had been towed due to the parking ban. I called the towing company and sure enough they had my vehicle and said the cost to get it out of impound was almost $400. I told my boyfriend that he was covering the cost. He used my vehicle and didn't do as I specifically instructed AND he parked so far behind the church (not where I ever park) so I couldn't see my car when he got back and had just assumed he had done as instructed. So this was on him and he was covering it. After a lot of debate he did walk down to impound and pay the cost but now he's pissed at me because I "should have asked" if he parked it in the garage and since I didn't, it's my fault because he "forgot" specific instructions. I think it was deliberate because he didn't feel like walking and that's why he parked it where I couldn't see it anyhow but either way, I don't think I'm wrong at all. He is absolutely pissed however saying that I'm now taking from the money he was going to use to get his own vehicle.
