It cost how much?????

[hotwheelstx]

If any of you read my post about the mailbox from yesterday I've been on the phone ALL DAY LONG talking to HOA and police.

Police came out yesterday and took report, said it's been happeneing in our subdivision about the past month.

HOA..........I CAN'T STAND THEM.

They only have certain mailboxes that they want in the front yard....I understand that. The ones they want cost $125.00 and up. Then, they don't want to take the accident report since it's been happening (I was told kids will be kids)....then, they want me to pay for the neighbors mailbox as well. Ours has more damage than theirs does.

On top of all that they (vandels) took the neighbors Halloween decorations and distributed them around the neighborhood. Pumpkins, windsocks, candles.....

I can't believe this. I told them to take me to court. I don't understand a mailbox that cost $125.00, neighbor said that it wasn't our fault and agreed we'd pay for our own damage....and they had stuff taken from their yard we didn't!!!!!

He's (neighbor) trying to talk to HOA himself and explain that it wasn't either of our faults and that it's not a "false claim".

I HATE HOA!!!!!!!!!

Then, some woman from HOA has come by the house 3 times today to tell me that if the mailbox isn't replaced or fixed we'll be fined $500.00!!!!

What about the man's truck that has a dent from a pumpkin, other mailboxes that are damaged and still sitting there????

ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


If you're not going to take a police report and the word of the sheriff then who are you going to listen to, to believe?

We weren't home when it happened!!!!! Why would I or Aggie destroy the mailbox when we've lived here a little over a year????? That doesn't sound logical to me.

I'm pissed, pissed, pissed. Well, a lot more but, I can't print that.

I send support to you, as I know how much my mom has been complaining about the place she moved to and all their rules, hope you can get through this and I would tell them to shove their fines, it is ridiculous.

Why in the H*!! would you be responsible for OTHER people's mailboxes. That's ridiculous. Just so you know....my father's a real estate attorney if it comes down to that. He's great and incredibly fair. Big HUGS!!!! This is why when I buy it will be in the Heights.....no HOA!!!

We now return to this thread....

I think that you need to challenge your HOA. Why should you be responsible for any mail box other than your own? And what makes them think that they can fine you and make you pay (ok, the could put a lein on your house). I think that you need to tell them to put it where the sun don't shine.

You must live in a real swanky neighborhood if the mail boxes are $125.

Myself, I would be moving right the @#&@ out of there!

Good luck!

Good Luck

Jeeeez!! It reminds me of this movie I watched one time about a HOA neighborhood. They were REALLY strict and these new people moved in. When something wasn't right in their yard, one of the neighbors would fix it. Well they didn't like that so they messed things up on purpose. Then they found out that there was this monster that lived in the ground and he liked things a certain way. When things weren't his way, he would drag one of the residents under the ground!

It was a pretty stupid movie. Sounds like you have your own monsters to deal with though.
