Our Meddling Neighbor Got Our Cars Towed from Our Own Driveway, She Paid a Great Price in Return

She grinned as our cars were towed, certain she’d won her little war of suburbia. But by sunrise, she stood frozen on her porch, staring down the fallout of a $25,000 mistake she’d never forget.

Jack and I had only spent one night in the rental—a modest, single-story home in a sleepy suburb. Tan bricks, green shutters, a lawn that hadn’t seen a sprinkler in months. It was nothing permanent, just a temporary spot for a work assignment. We barely had the coffee maker unpacked when the doorbell rang.

Jack groaned. “We don’t even have curtains yet.”

At the door stood a woman in a pastel pink cardigan, headband to match, and a tray of chocolate chip cookies so pristine they looked store-bought. Her smile was bright, but her eyes were working overtime, scanning behind me like she expected a crime scene in our kitchen.

“I’m Lindsey, from across the street! Just wanted to welcome you two!” she chirped.

We thanked her, but the cookies came with a side of control. “Just a quick thing,” she added, sweetly, “our HOA only allows one car in the driveway per household. It’s about keeping the neighborhood tidy.”
