I'm flummoxed. I thought you said you got towed for not having a "parking sticker."My tags have been expired for two weeks
i just got the lease and inspection a few days ago to go register it
Assuming they speak English I still would have stopped at least one of them and asked rather than obliviously going about my business for three months and then discovering one morning that my car has been towed.See the post before this41 minutes ago, squistion said:
I dunno...like maybe things happening in the complex, like perhaps if they had received their new parking sticker from the property management
Yes that was their reasonI'm flummoxed. I thought you said you got towed for not having a "parking sticker."
They don't speak englishAssuming they speak English I still would have stopped at least one of them and asked rather than obliviously going about my business for three months and then discovering one morning that my car has been towed.
The real issue is I wasn't notifiedI'm flummoxed. I thought you said you got towed for not having a "parking sticker."
That's not a concern for a yearin the time it took to look up and post all of this, you could have done and filed your taxes.
You didn't mention that before, you indicated they were not friendly, nothing about the language they spoke. And why would you indicate there is nothing else to talk about but saying hello when they were incapable of talking about anything else?They don't speak english
This is wrong. Also, if they did this, enjoy paying $500 more per month to pay for the service.They claim it was placed on my door. That is not a very good way of ensuring your residents are informed. They should be delivered the info in person to be sure
or at least email and/or call
nothing
Why didn't you just put the old sticker in your new car until you got the new sticker?I e been there 9 months.
when I moved in and got my first truck I got a parking sticker right away from the old management company
when I bought the current car 3 months ago I went to the office to get a new sticker. I was informed they were under new management and the new stickers were not a available. They said they would notify us when they were available and nobody would be towed in the meantime
Really?They claim it was placed on my door. That is not a very good way of ensuring your residents are informed. They should be delivered the info in person to be sure
or at least email and/or call
nothing
As I said earlier it's linked to the plateWhy didn't you just put the old sticker in your new car until you got the new sticker?
What would you talk to neighbors about?You didn't mention that before, you indicated they were not friendly, nothing about the language they spoke. And why would you indicate there is nothing else to talk about but saying hello when they were incapable of talking about anything else?
I talked to one of my neighbors about yoga. I talked to another neighbor about what I do. He gave my business card to a friend of his who ended up hiring me. I've talked to several of my neighbors about goings on in the building. If cars had been towed (we own our spaces), I'm sure I would have spoken to them to get their thoughts on it.What would you talk to neighbors about?
You have to ask?What would you talk to neighbors about?
Doesn't seem very constructive to him to give notice that way. I'm sure everyone agrees.Really?
Not if your lease doesn't require that notice be given to tow somebody away that doesn't have a parking sticker.The real issue is I wasn't notified
Does it say that?Not if your lease doesn't require that notice be given to tow somebody away that doesn't have a parking sticker.
No one has suggested that. However I do wonder if you are somewhat anti-social or a bit of a loner, as in the workplace with their co-workers, most people also do make small talk with their neighbors.This is about what's legal and right
Could I live without 300?
Sure it's just an 8 ball
Am I a scumbag for not conversing with my neighbors and I deserved a tow?
According to some
but the other day I gave a stranger directions for no reason and my karma should be in the green
This is a legal issue and the language is what it is

I'm kind of surprised by your commentsYour meter may be broken.
From what I gathered I was not the only oneYou still haven't answered the question about how many other cars were towed for this reason.
If you don't know, it would behoove you to find out.
I make an effort to reach out regularlyNo one has suggested that. However I do wonder if you are somewhat anti-social or a bit of a loner, as in the workplace with their co-workers, most people also do make small talk with their neighbors.
I make an effort to reach out regularly
why do you question that?
Just to be clear it was bankruptcy, not downsizing. Not sure why you would be so concerned. Or what you could do to help?I'm kind of surprised by your comments
i was very concerned about your downsizing and wanted to help
No, as I don't believe in karma as supernatural forces punishing or rewarding people for their behavior, although I do accept the notion of karma as being the direct consequences of one's actions, which may be good or bad, irrespective of intent...but I digress...You see this as a karmic issue?
Am I obligated to be likable?
This is one bizarre postJust to be clear it was bankruptcy, not downsizing. Not sure why you would be so concerned. Or what you could do to help?
And based on your understanding of karma, you believe helping someone with directions gives you the right to break rules? There are a few priests that probably agree with you.
I'm not patting myself on the back as you put itNo, as I don't believe in karma as supernatural forces punishing or rewarding people for their behavior, although I do accept the notion of karma as being the direct consequences of one's actions, which may be good or bad, irrespective of intent...but I digress...
No you are not obligated to be likable. I take a 4 1/2 mile walk, time permitting, every day, and people in cars all the time stop to ask me for directions and I give it, but unlike you, I don't pat my self on the back for doing something I didn't have to - because I think it is the right think to do (If I was lost I would hope someone I stop on the street would help me out).
I actually was concerned and had you been in the area I would have done everything I could to helpFitting.
Not true:I'm not patting myself on the back as you put it
your comments seemed to be based on karmic idealism
its nice that people are stopping you in the street and you help them.
nobody stops me in the street but on the rare occasion they do I offer the best directions I know
What did I do wrong?Not true:
but the other day I gave a stranger directions for no reason and my karma should be in the green
And there is no idealism in my concept of karma. It is just viewing things realistically, eliminating the supernatural. Every action one does has consequences either good or bad, irrespective of one's intent. Sometimes they work out positively, sometimes negatively, it is just what results from the wheels one sets in motions with one's actions.
Oh, I could imagine it. But, I'm not sure what difference it makes. This thread isn't about my job, it's about your $300. (and karma)I actually was concerned and had you been in the area I would have done everything I could to help
but you couldn't imagine that
Nothing, it was the right thing to do. Congrats!What did I do wrong?
It makes no difference in the grand scheme of thingsOh, I could imagine it. But, I'm not sure what difference it makes. This thread isn't about my job, it's about your $300. (and karma)
Not at all. I am an agnostic. I don't believe in karma as a supernatural force.Sarcasm?
I posted photos of the leaseYou should answer Roboto's question re the notice provision in your lease.
I have everything on file for the judgeI don't know the rules in your state, but I have been to small claims court in Michigan before and proof isn't really needed. The magistrate just listens to both sides of the case and makes a ruling. Would it help to have some thing to show the magistrate? Of course, so maybe emails sent to the office, your lease agreement and explaining how you understood it. If you are telling us all the details I would go file the paperwork on Monday or at least tell them if they don't refund you the money you are going to file in small claims.
Why don't you ask them for a ride?squistion said:No, as I don't believe in karma as supernatural forces punishing or rewarding people for their behavior, although I do accept the notion of karma as being the direct consequences of one's actions, which may be good or bad, irrespective of intent...but I digress...
