Our Meddling Neighbor Got Our Cars Towed from Our Own Driveway—She Paid a Great Price in Return
When Jack and I moved into a quiet suburban rental, we quickly met our neighbor, Lindsey, who handed us cookies and immediately complained about our two cars in the driveway. She warned us about the HOA’s “one-car rule” and seemed overly concerned with our presence.
A few days later, we woke to find both our cars being towed for the alleged violation. Lindsey stood on the sidewalk, smugly watching. Little did she know, one of our cars had a small, almost invisible sticker marking it as a government vehicle. I calmly informed her that she now owed us $25,000 for interfering with a federal investigation.
The next morning, a federal agent arrived at Lindsey’s door, informing her that by towing the cars, she had disrupted an undercover operation. Lindsey was left in shock as the agent told her the costs and consequences of her actions. Jack and I walked away, satisfied, while Lindsey was left dealing with the fallout.
