It's that time of the year again... (thieves)

Reminds me of a Joke........

Anyways my mom had a boss once who would wrap trash in X-mas paper then leave his car unlocked at the mall.

Need to have a paper just inside the box that reads F-U.

That's what I told her. I said that if I had a junky, broken down car in the lot for months, she'd tow it, but at least I could get it back, unlike my detector that she threw in the trash. I think that for the most part she does okay, but I don't appreciate her bitch attitude.

You should be in law enforcment. If you can deal with that calmly, then you could deal with idiots daily without a problem.

a brick thru her window should even things out.

She came to your house, took a motion detector (and I'm assuming a light too?) off of your house, and threw it away? What the fuck gives anybody the right to do that? HOA or not, I'd be making her life a miserable hell for that.

Is this a house in a residential neighborhood? Or a townhouse or apartment?

Apartment.

I was going to go to the next meeting and complain about the broken pipe in the lawn behind my place. Then when they asked where it was, I'd tell them that I would have gladly told them before she threw my shit away. Now she can find out in several months when the foundation of the entire building cracks or something.

Not to Hijack but Stu your situation is the exact reason I would never live someplace with a HOA or Covenants.
My brother in law used to live in a condo that had a Nazi HOA. He was checking the oil in his 68 High Country Special Mustang and one of the asshat board members came down and told him there was no working on cars in the lot and especially on an old "junker" like his. The BIL said he wanted to drop the guy, especially considering his HCS is immaculate, 100 percent original, unrestored and on the national registry.

The gift wrapped trash is great but I can think of some other "Presents" to leave a thief. Like a Rattlesnake or the spider from "Arachnaphobia". A "gift" from the aforementioned 150# dog perhaps.

Thieves suck.

On my favorite episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Charlie gives a guy a box of hornets with a bow on top.

OLD SCHOOL-paper bag full of dog shit,put in front of door,light it on fire,and ring doorbell. Oh-run away after ringing doorbell.

I had a guy in base housing years ago who had 2 Rottweilers that he NEVER picked up after. I'd take my dog out for a walk at night behind the carports and would inevitably step in the poop.

I confronted him a few times about it and saw that it was going nowhere so I talked to the Housing Office. They told me to work it out with the Rotty owner or they'd throw us BOTH out of housing. That just pissed me off.

So, I finally decided to pick up his dog's poop with my pooper-scooper. One pile per night. And then, when I knew no one was watching, I'd sling that poop right against his back door and run inside.

After the third time I did it, he came and confronted me. I played ignorant to the events but suggested that it might be someone fed up with him not cleaning up after his dogs. I had to do it a couple more times and then I noticed that he actually started picking up after his dog.

I guess his wife got sick of seeing and smelling dog shit across the back of her quarters - particularly across her back door.

The point is that I had tried to be reasonable. I tried to use the system to resolve the issue. Both times I failed and felt like I had been smacked for doing so. I knew I could get away with a little pay-back without anyone being able to prove (suspect yes, prove no) I had anything to do with it. And while it was disgusting and unsanitary, there was no real harm to the people or quarters - nothing that a garden hose couldn't resolve.

Mess with me and mine and I will find a way to even the score.

Stuart - threatening the HOA with a lawsuit against them and the female board member for theft and menacing (under CO law, if you feel menaced, that's all that's required to be guilty), and creating an intimidating living environment might get them to (a) get you a new light, and (b) get them to put a leash on the b!tch. Since she's a board member and they allow her to get away with such behavior they de facto endorse this behavior, or are at least complicit in it.
