Residents upset after cars towed for street sweeping : News : KXRM FOX 21

Residents upset after cars towed for street sweeping : News : KXRM FOX 21: "COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A handful of residents in a northwest Colorado Springs neighborhood are upset after they said their cars were unnecessarily towed from outside their homes.

Collins Towing, who removed all the vehicles, said at least 40 cars were towed from the Smoke Tree Townhomes complex a week ago Friday.

The homeowners association said it needed to move the vehicles so the parking lot could be swept.

'I think it is crummy to live somewhere and pay the HOA dues and then they act like they do not care,' Dan Mejia said."

I lived in a condo complex in San Diego where the board president took visible delight in having people's cars towed. He got a big smirk on his face whenever he talked about it. I think it gave him a sense of power over people. One owner who had his car towed threatened to give him a facial massage with the spokes of his bicycle.

Not to say that sort of thing is going on in this Colorado Springs situation, you understand.

If the book that's being advertised is anywhere near as funny as the rant it will be a hit!
