                  “We're Condo Commandos! We have no life!”

The Condo Commandos here have struck yet once again. This time they left a
note on the front door, threatening to tow Spring's [1] van:

> **Attention:** ILLEGAL VAN NOT OWNER OR REGISTERED GUEST. HOW MANY
> OCCUPANTS IN APARTMENT. [sic] UNLESS CLEANED UP, VAN WILL BE TOWED ON
> TUESDAY AUG 7 IF NOT SHOWING NEW STATE TAGS AND CLEANED UP.
>

Okay, except for Rule 10, which goes:

>   1. In order to maintain an attractive appearance, no sign, advertisement,
>      notice or other lettering shall be exhibited, displayed, inscribed,
>      painted or affixed, in, on or upon any part of the Condominium
>      Property without the written consent of the Board.
>

I can't see anything that Spring's van violates. There's nothing in Rule 5
that her van violates, and in covering the van, we skirt around Rule 10. They
may be trying to get us on Rule 21:

>   1.   1. For purposes of this regulation, a guest shall be a person to
>           whom hospitality is extended without charge. An immediate family
>           member shall be an owner's or lessee's parents, children,
>           brother, sister, grandparents, or grandchildren, any of whom may
>           be accompanied by his/her spouse and children. A House-sitter
>           shall be considered to be in the same category as a guest.
>   1.   2.   1. No limit will be placed on the length of stay of an owner's
>                or lessee's immediate family members as guests. However, in
>                the owner's or lessee's absence, such family members must be
>                reported to the Board of Administration or to the Management
>                Company prior to their arrival.
>   1.   2.   2. When unit owner or lessee is not in residence and the guest
>                is not a member of the owner's or lessee's immediate family,
>                the length of stay is not to exceed twenty one [sic] days,
>                in any four month period, unless prior approval is obtained
>                from XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Board of Directors.

I'm not absent, and Spring is family so we're covered there.

It's all about power.

Facists!
