The tale of the horrible, no good, H.O.A.!!!!

Okay, so that stands for "Home Owners Association" for those of you who might not know that. =)

Last Wednesday, Caleb & I were sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden our door bell rings! 2:30 am!!! Thankfully, it was our wonderful neighbor Jenna, who was about to save us lots of money and time! She told Caleb that a tow truck was about to tow my car away.

So, let me back up here. I park in Jenna's 2nd parking spot. We are all assigned 2 spots per unit, and she lives alone and happens to have her parking spot right at the bottom of the stairs to our unit. She is so sweet to let me park there.

Also -you should know - I had just received a few weeks ago my tags for my car registration however I hadn't put them on my car yet. I had them in my glove compartment. (in hind-sight, yes, I know they should have bee on!)

So here is where it all comes together. The H.O.A. guy decided to make a surprise attack on my "un-registered" car. When he got there, he saw the space I was parked in, assumed it was Jenna's car since I park in her spaces. They knocked on her door to warn her that my car was going to be towed. When she realized it was my car they were talking about, not hers, she was so nice to call me (and when we didn't answer), and ring our doorbell to wake us up so we would have the chance to stop them!

The H.O.A. representative was a total jerk to Jenna and to my husband. They didn't even put a note on my car or send a letter to warn us. Which they SHOULD HAVE. We just showed them our registration sticker that I had in my car and then he got all huffy about having a tow truck out for nothing. Well, sir, if you had simply gave us a warning, we would have put our sticker on and you wouldn't have had to pay for a tow truck!!!

We are peeved and plan on going to the next H.O.A. meeting and complaining. Pulling that crap at 2:30 in the morning is ridiculous!!!!!!!
