I moved into a rental house with an HOA in a place where even the roads were private. Across the street lived the president of the HOA. Her daughters were off at college, but their cars were parked in front of their house for months without moving. The streets were small and parking was only allowed on that side of the street. Faster forward four years, I parked my car in front of their house for a period of two days because I had gotten a new car but had not yet sold the old one and had nowhere to put it. On the second day I got an unnecessarily nasty (it got strangely personal), unsigned (zero contact information; no names), non-letterhead letter from "the HOA" saying that police had been notified about my car and that it would be towed after 72-hours. This was a nice car, not an eyesore; and they had to know it was my car at that point. I briefly considered writing a letter to all the HOA members warning them about someone "impersonating the HOA". I also thought about having my lawyer draft a nasty letter to the HOA. Instead, I just kept my car parked on either end of their house every two days until I moved out (taking a photo each time, which at some point they must have seen me do), even though I had some other options. Had they simply knocked on my door and asked me about it, that wouldn't have happened.
