So a month or two back there were a couple of break-ins in our neighborhood. A few houses were burgled. That's what burglars do, right? They burgle stuff. Anyway, unbeknownst to me a war was raging between our neighbors. Not a real war, although one guy put up some razor wire and does have an aircraft carrier parked in his driveway (I think I would see this as an act of aggression, but everyone else seems to be ok with it). The real war is a war of words raging on the Home Owners Association Message board. I didn't even know we had a message board, in fact I don't really know how I found out that it existed. But I've copied and pasted some of my favorites. Theses are all direct quotes. Its good readin'.
I'm sorry you support being a victim.
It's none of your business
Can you afford a wireless digital linked securty system with satellite surveillance, guard dogs, and an armed patrol keeping watch over the perimeter of your lawn?
Heck, apply to the HOA for approval to install an alligator infested moat and drawbridge
know that these are burglars; they take things that burglars take
They did not come into our home looking for a briefcase containing government nuclear secrets.
You don't need to read that someone stole money from a home to know that you probably don't need to have a thousand dollars in cash laying by the back door in an envelop labled "cash."
No one was home at the time (subsequently, no one was raped) What!?!
What is now becoming more concerning to me is our community turning into one of hysteria
The HOA are not the police, nor are they clairvoyant to predict the break-ins.
I do know one guy arrested in my yard was wanted for a HOME INVASION Is there burglary without invading a home? Maybe reaching in through an open window with a long pole with a suction cup on the end? I'll keep my eye out for that guy.
Will not attend HOA meeting now
This would eliminate much of the tension or misunderstandings caused by opinion, conjecture and would be jokes
And my all time favorite is this full post which was stuck right in the middle of the angry exchange and had absolutely nothing to do with any of the other posts. But she does have a point, the dogs do bark like crazy bad.
I like this idea, but my son works for the White House, & daughter is inBoone student teaching our next generation! ..... all the dogs are barking?like crazy!!!! BAD!!!
