Condo owner says inquiries to board led to vandalism
All condo owner Jallele Praschnik did was ask to look at her condo association's records, as allowed by state law.

As a result, she says, her screen was cut, pesticide was thrown into her apartment, and eggs were thrown at her car. In addition, someone would periodically stand outside her window, looking in and listening to her conversations.

After 15 months of such intimidation, she said, she borrowed surveillance equipment and taped a neighbor committing the alleged crimes.

Police last week arrested John Losada, 59, a leader of the condo association at the South Grove Plaza, at 2690 SW 22nd Ave. in Miami. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 15 to answer charges of criminal mischief and stalking.

He faces five years on the vandalism charge and one year on the stalking charge if convicted. He is free on $6,000 bail.

Here's the poster boy for why we need oversight of condo/hoa boards of directors. Yeah, yeah..."it's an isolated instance." One of about a gazillion.
