    Default Neighbor continously parking in front of house.

    The HOA has defined that cars must be garaged, if left parked it shouldn't be over 24 hrs. I honestly don't care on way or the other, but I do care when the neighbor and his guests continuously park in front of my house for days on end leaving the space open in front of his house. I have left 2 notes, and this is still happening. Can I call the sheriff to have the car towed if over the 24 hour period? I would like to leave the space open for obvious reasons, service calls, my guest, etc. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Below is the parking Policy:

    Parking Policy: Garages are intended for the storage of
    vehicles; no abandoned or inoperative vehicle is allowed to
    be parked or stored on any visible portion of the community
    at any time except during the transport to or from the
    property, and then only for a period not to exceed twenty four
    hours. The County will monitor and enforce by ticketing
    and/or towing vehicles improperly parked, inoperable, or that
    have expired tags. If you have specific concerns regarding
    parking infractions at Ladera, please contact the Arapahoe
    County Sheriff’s Office at (720) 874-4165
    Thanks,

    Public street, anyone can park there. If it stays over the limit set by the city then yes can call and complain.

    Yep. Pretty much this.

    Start parking your stuff in front of his house for days on end.

    One of my douche bag neighbors parked his truck in front of my house and overlapped my driveway about two feet. I just backed out around it because I didn't feel like dealing with the idiot. If it wouldn't have hurt my vehicle, I would have just backed into his and waited to see what the cops would do.

    Cut his tires. That will send the message. Won't clear the space for a few days but I bet it doesn't happen again.

    Or be nice and just deflate them.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    You could knock o his/her door and ask nicely that you need that space. I had a similar deal yearrs ago and this was all it took.

    That policy seems pretty clear to me, but you may want to give them a few days, instead of jumping on it after 24hrs.. if you've left notes before, maybe leave one more with your number and ask them to call you. Be cordial and point out that they're parked in front of your house or it would be less of a deal to you...

    a little coyote bait and or skunk urine in the area directly below the windshield (where the hvac air comes in) real cheap at sportsman's warehouse works great or so I've heard.

    Thats the way I read it as well.
    my Parents had a go-round with their HOA about the same thing. Properly licensed/registered, insured vehicles legally/properly parked on public streets where not prohibited by duly erected signage may park without restriction of time limit or 'zone'.

    I hate it they choose to park in front of your house, perhaps you need to have a "CO AR-15 Come over and look at my yard" day and about 40 cars full o buddies fill the street in front of HIS house. When they see what a nuisance it is, maybe they will be a little more considerate.

    or, you could just go over with two beers and chat with him.
