But since nobody gives a shiny rats ass if some "unauthorized" kids play baseball at "Happy Fucking Acres" or wherever it is that Ed lives...

I didn't do it during their services, mostly saturdays, so they put up a wire about 4 foot off the ground that had a clear rubber coating on it that was very hard to see at 10 feet. When I came barreling through on my 50, I got clotheslined to the ground. Luckily, I was wearing my helmet that day and just ended up with a few stitches from the rash and a minor concussion. Needless to say after that, the times I chose to ride my fiddy were more scheduled and the noise I made was far greater than needed. I thought about pursuing it legally but figure fighting a church or lawyer would be hard with no proof of who put up the wire. a few weeks later a big concrete blocking device with a huge no trespassing sign went up.

Screw the lawyer, I'd try to find out who put that wire up, and beat the HOLY fuck out of him. Shit like that calls for some sort of destructive and childish revenge.

Ok, that was just weird!!

Racer X, depending on the laws in your area, and what governs private and public property, unless you have the owner call or you ARE the owner, typically LE cant do anything. It requires owner action and some type of announcement or sign stating no trespassing before LE can do anything.

Oh sure, laugh it up.

It's all fun and games until the stigmatas start.

And with my luck, being a non believer, I'd be the first one afflicted!

I was the vice president of my HOA for a year. I got out of it because it was ridiculous. I had no idea adults could act in such a childish manner.

Ed, as an HOA guy *and* someone who designs subdivisions, let me offer this.

Any lots or common areas not purchased by a builder or homeowner, until such time that the occupancy requirement in the bylaws of the HOA are met, belongs to the developer. Period. He still owns that land and pays taxes on it.

Once the occupancy requirement is met, typically 75%, then the common areas and the HOA transfer to the property owners.

We had a similar problem with kids coming into the neighborhood to play on a playground we built. We didn't have a problem with it until they started leaving trash and vandalizing the equipment. Common courtesy woulda went a long way.

We called the police. I knew that wouldn't help, but the other members insisted. Their reply was that the park was public property because the community wasn't gated, and we couldn't keep the troublemakers off of the property unless we witnessed the vandalism. At that point, we could call the police, file charges, etc.

One kid had scratched her name into the equipment. Just so turns out she had a rather unique name, and someone on the board knew her parents. She was called out on it, had to come repair the equipment (her parents did actually), and she was told that she was not allowed at the park again.

Basically, unless you witness them causing damage and can call the police in a timely fashion, or put a gate up, it's one of many headaches you will deal with in being a part of a Homeowner's Association.

thanks trace!

and we had our first HOA meeting last week, i can understand where your coming from w/ the childish behavior attitude.

tracey, if there was a "XXX owners use only" signs, wouldn't people who don't live in the neighborhood be trespassing?

or does it have to be gated?

Yes, they would be trespassing, but you know what the charge is for trespassing? It's a misdemeanor with a small fine, at least here.

If it's gated, then it's a private community, and you have many more rights as far as what is and is not allowed, but that brings problems of it's own. The biggest one being road maintenance. The minute you put up a gate, the city can legally absolve itself of any responsibility to maintain your roads.

Not sure how many lane feet of roads you have, but in 20 years, repairs on that can add up in a hurry.

Oh I am SO glad to be rid of HOA's and all the quasi ownership, inflated sense of self it seems to give people!!! I've never in my life seen people whine and bitch and complain so much. "Oh someone left a dirty diaper in the trash can at the pool!" "Hey you going to pick up after your doggie?" NOT WHEN SHE HASN'T EVEN TAKEN A SHIT YET LADY!!! Good grief it's sickening. Never again!!! NOPE.

Fuck spanking. I've now turned a corner. I think all children should have shock collars on them so you can zap them if they are in inappropriate places...

Who's with me??
