My mom lives in Florida in a 65+ retirement mobile home park, and the park HOA is nothing but old people driving around in their golf carts looking for reasons to complain. It's also worth noting that my brother works as a maintenance and facilities guy for the park. Mom has been in the hospital for almost a week now, and things were looking kinda bad, so I drove 2 days to come visit her. I went straight to the hospital, and eventually left to go crash at her place around 11pm last night. I parked my car on the side of her house, off of the road... The same place that I've always parked literally every time I've been here for the last 20 years with zero issue. Well I woke up this morning and discovered my car was missing, they towed it because I didn't park in their guest lot which is a few blocks away from mom's. Again the park knew what's been going on because my brother has obviously been taking off work. They couldn't have at least confirmed it was my vehicle today and shown some kind of fucking grace about the situation and asked me to move to the guest lot? So now this trip that is already an unexpected financial hit cost me $250 in towing and Uber fees on day 1. Mom and brother are super pissed at them but as we know that basically means nothing to the HOA. The only good thing about it all is that mom's health situation is looking a lot better.
