Frustrated at being fobbed off by his landlord, he takes matters into his own hands when his entitled neighbor keeps stealing his paid parking spot! And he adds a personal touch to his revenge…
Own Parking Spot
He rents an apartment, and an assigned exterior parking space within his complex’s parking lot is included in his rent. He has a parking pass that he displays in his car. Sounds simple!
Official Documents
He also has the necessary documentation from his landlord stating that this specific spot belongs to him. That way, if there’s an issue like someone is in his spot, he can just produce the paperwork! Even simpler!
Entitled Neighbor
He has a neighbor who always parks in his spot. He’ll come back from work, and lo and behold, there’s no spot available. He’ll pop to the grocery store, and his neighbor has his spot! It’s almost like they watch when he’s going out and wait to grab the spot!
Lazy Landlord
He has contacted his landlord every time this happens, asking him to handle it, but nothing ever happens. His landlord doesn’t seem bothered about it and just tells him to go and have a word with them.
No Communication
Whenever he’s popped around to speak to them, they don’t answer the door. A couple of times, he’s suspected someone is home as lights are on, but maybe refusing to answer.
Storing Evidence
He has also kept a log of every time he notices this particular neighbor in his spot and when he’s contacted his landlord. Just for the record! He knows it isn’t right that it’s being allowed, so the documentation is worth having in case he needs it down the line.
HOA Informed
Additional info that might be relevant, his complex is managed by an HOA, and his landlord always claims he’ll “notify them” when he makes a complaint about his neighbor. Somehow, he doesn’t have faith that he does.
No Permit
For what it’s worth, his neighbor does not have a visible parking pass on his car and also puts a cone in his spot when he’s gone to reserve it, so he doesn’t think this is just confusion – he doesn’t think he owns a spot at all, in fact!
Car Towed
This past weekend, said neighbor had his car towed from his own spot. Angered at his cheek, he confronted him in person, but all he did was claim that the spot was his. He was adamant that the spot was his!
Nasty Fine
When he’d got his car back, after a lovely $60 bill, he went and knocked on the door again. Surprise, he didn’t answer! It was becoming a ridiculous game that he felt like he was drastically losing!
A Breakthrough
He once again contacted his landlord, who, this time, stated that this spot was indeed HIS! Result! He affirmed that he shouldn’t have been towed and that he should speak with his neighbor to reiterate that it was his spot.
Taking Action
Well, apparently, the neighbor didn’t listen because the next night, he was in his spot again. He called a towing company, the same one that towed his car previously, to have his neighbor’s car towed.
No Show
That didn’t work out too well! They agreed to come along, but absolutely nothing happened. So, they either didn’t turn up or were talked out of it by his neighbor because when he woke the next morning, his car was still there.
Logging a Complaint
He’s growing incredibly frustrated with this situation, as he pays annually for this spot. The next thing was to call the HOA directly and see what they had to say about the matter!
Confirmation of Ownership
When he spoke with the HOA, they confirmed that the spot was his and that this neighbor didn’t even have a parking spot at all. HOA also said he should’ve never been authorized to have his car towed and is speaking with the towing company to ensure it won’t happen again. Oh, they also said that the landlord had NEVER contacted them!
An Emergency Number
Finally, they provided him with a 24/7 emergency number that he could call to have his neighbor towed every time he was in his spot! It all seemed perfect. Problem solved!
Repeat Offender
A few days later, his neighbor parked in his spot. He called the number, and they arrived to tow the car. Perfect! Well, he thought it was until he had an angry neighbor banging on his door at 6 a.m. the next morning.
Angry Neighbor
His neighbor was furious, accusing him of playing stupid games. He explained that he’d tolerated him stealing his spot for several months and had forked out money to have his car towed – money he was claiming back from the HOA as it happened.
Proof of Rights
His neighbor refused to listen and said he had no right. He quickly realized that you couldn’t argue with stupid, so he got the forms that stated it was his spot and showed him.
Police Threat
His neighbor couldn’t say anything after that, but he did call after him to say: “Oh, and if you park there again, the police will be at your door within twenty minutes to charge you for trespassing on private property!” His neighbor looked pretty freaked by the lie, but guess what? He didn’t park there again!
Funny Twist
And he couldn’t help but add one more layer to the parking debacle. He found a company that printed logos onto traffic cones, so he invested in something that was wholly worthwhile. He ordered a yellow cone with a red print that read, ‘PARK HERE AND I’LL SUE!‘ Every time he went out, he left it in his spot. Petty, but undeniably fantastic, and well worth the twenty bucks!
