Earlier this week I came home from work to find my solar lights all screwed up from my associations snow removal guys. 2 of the lights had the stakes knocked off the bottoms (and said stakes have not been found) and 1 other light had its cap knocked off and then filled with snow which ruined the circuitry. As you can see in the pictures, the lights that were broken at the stakes were thrown back onto the snow pile when they were done.
Since I pay $106 a month in association fees, I was a little ticked at this. The lights were roughly $20 a piece. I called up my association, explained what happened, and asked what they could do to correct the situation. The woman on the phone pretty much told me I was effed. She said that they were not responisble for any damaged property during snow removal. She told me I could email her the pictures if I wanted.
I emailed her the pics and she responded with the same crap about not being responsible for any damaged property.
Now if the broken lights had been set on my porch by the snow plow crew instead of just being thrown back into my lawn, I might have been able to just chalk this up as a loss. With how they threw them back on the snow, and how snotty the woman from the association was with me on the phone...I am still hot from this.
Am I just screwed? Is there I can do? What would you guys do?
*edit*
I know its not a big $ loss to replace a couple of lights, but people should have some damn decency when property is damaged. grrr
