They will just do this to somebody else. They probably already have, and you weren't the only one.

Oh well, pics were entertaining, so was the audio. :roll:

except evidence that they actually did it? slightly vital. I have no video, nor did i witness them do it. Obviously they did, between the notes, and their temper... but it most likely wouldn't stand up in court. Anyways, I didn't feel like dealing with the court side of it, hopefully a visit from the police was enough.

I usually crash over at my girls house and park on the street. Typically there is parking directly in front of her house, but depending on who is over, I sometimes have to park further down the street. Well one morning, I come back to my car and there is a note saying "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK IN FRONT OF MY PROPERTY". I didn't move my car right, away and came back about an hour later and another note had been placed "BE SELF RESPECTED!". I thought it was comical, but chose to park further away to avoid this sh|t.

Speed up to this week, two nights ago I parked there again because someone was having a party and it was pretty much the only place available. So I parked there, next morning there is a note saying "NOT ALLOWED" and there was some substance on the passenger side of the windshield, which turned out to be glue. Not a ton, but enough to annoy me. I went and knocked on their door which they didn't answer. So basically I said 'fck them' I can park on this public street wherever I want and parked there again last night. Glue all smeared on the driver side of my windshield. So I will be returning to their place again tonight... I'll let you know how it goes.

Any suggestions on how to get the glue off?


UPDATE:
Well I decided to just call the police and have them confront the neighbors so I couldn't be accused of anything. I pulled up in front of the perps house and was just going to wait in my car for the police, when two Asian women ran out screaming at me.
"YOU MUST GO!"
They continued to yell at me about how I wasn't allowed to park there, and I informed them that I had contacted both the police and HOA to ensure I was in the right... they said "WE DON'T ACCEPT THAT". Terrific. So I let them know that the police were on their way and we could just wait for them. They continued to hound me about moving my car, their property, and other nonsense. I asked them if they had put the glue on my car, to which the older woman kind of just gave me a smug look and was like "i understand" (her english was fairly broken), more or less admitting to it.

They then began to yell "White Trash!" at me in a very funny accent. It was almost too much, but I contained my laughter. They went back into their house, while I waited next to my car for the cops. Occasionally they would open their door, scream "WHITE TRASH", give me the finger, and then slam the door. It was all highly entertaining.

Finally the cops arrived. I showed them my vehicle, explained the note/glue and that I wasn't pressing charges, just wanted to let them know it wasn't alright what they had done. They asked for the note, and then showed it to the women asking if they had written it. They informed him that they had, then he asked about the glue.. and they were like "uhhh, no!" it was pretty much the worst lie you have ever seen. They argued with the cops for a while and the cop finally told them to shut it. The other officer was like, geezus, i would have pressed charges. Finally the cop walked them down to the front of their yard and said "Do you see this curb?? This is where your property ends and where public property begins. Where HE can park." They were not having it. Finally the cop came over to me and let me know they he was going to stay with them for a while and see if they would cool off, but if I wouldn't mind leaving since I was making them so angry. Fine by me. Awesome stuff.

I recorded some audio as well... may post that later.

Don't cross this line!

Audio:
White Trash! - i sound smug, because i was... they had been yelling at me for a while and it was just amusing at this point.

CLIFFS:
Neighbors didn't like where I parked, put glue on my windshield.

Windshield - imagine my drive to work.... had a huge meeting I couldn't be late for, didn't have time to fck with it

you don't sound smug in the audio. they sound like blooming idiots.

 
Good job handling that! Did you ever get the glue off yet? People like this are unbelievable. I experienced the same thing a few years ago at my girl's place. I used to stay there a lot and I never liked parking in front of her house because there's a tree there and it gets crap all over my car, so I park in front of her neighbor''s house. Well, these pricks never confronted me about it and just decided to pour brake fluid on my car. I reported it to the police and they filed a report, however I had no evidence that it was them, so I had to pay $700 out of pocket to get 3 panels repainted.
 
Oh BTW, what kind of car do you drive? That neighborhood seems quite nice. Just wondering what gave them the idea to call you white trash besides the fact that they're racist.

I was going to say a "Thats terrific" sort of joke but i don't feel like searching through 4 pages.

Awesome soundbite 🙂

Go OP, he stayed cool. If he actually argued they'd exploit it fast to the cop.
