When Your Home Isn't Safe

Thanksgiving Day in our brand-new, dream condo, and my wife Sarah and I were finally settling into our freshly renovated home.

Everything felt perfect, a fresh start.

But the holiday cheer vanished when an HOA email popped up: "Improperly parked vehicle."

My car. In my own deeded parking spot.

Then I saw the neighbor's post on Nextdoor, claiming my spot even though he had no right to it.

The guy, Kevin, was instantly entitled and rude.

The very next morning, my car had a deep, deliberate scratch running down the side, and the HOA cameras were "conveniently" offline for maintenance.
