Our neighbor left a note on our car: \u201cOne car per house!\u201d We ignored it, but three days later, our cars were towed. She stood there, grinning smugly.<\/p>\n

She moved out, defeated, her belongings hauled away. The neighborhood kids played freely, and we parked without fear. In court, the judge sentenced her to $75,000 in restitution and community service for fraud and harassment.<\/p>\n
