      An owner in our complex, sick on another owner taking liberties with the visitors car park, left a note on his car regarding the by laws for parking on common properpty.

      The next day, this owner found a note left for her.  In it, this owner (who is also now on the EC) states that he is going to park there over night when he wants as he carries expensive equipment in his car. He claims that his car has been broken into in the street numerous times (if so, he is the only one who has had a problem in over 10 years in this quiet, out of the way suburban street). He then states that he does not care if the other owner has a problem with his parking there.  He then states that he has “only parked there a few times over the past 6 months”.  This is not true as there are recorded dates/times of his parking over this time and though not everyday, it is certainly more than a few times.

      Am I wrong in presuming that if the EC just rolls over and lets him park with his expensive equipment in his car and doesn't notify him that (a) he can't park in the visitors car park and (b) if he is carrying expensive equipment it should be placed within his property/locked garage, that this EC, should something happen to this “expensive equipment” might be foung liable?

      And what of other owners?  I am sure that more than one person in this complex would like to park in visitors car spots when they have something they consider valuable in their cars!  This owner seems to believe he is above the “law”, especially since he is on the EC.

      The owner who received the arrogant note is considering her options.  I have sighed this letter.  He is arrogant and quite condescending in this letter to her.  Should she seek legal advice?  Not only regarding the behaviour of this rogue parker but regarding the EC not acting on this?  This owner is understandably astounded at the language in this note as her original note simply stated by laws.   She is uncomfortable living in her home with this person next door.

      I appeal to all the wise contributors to this forum for their insight and advice in this situation.
