Ahh, nope. I'll drive thank you. I thought VOWS was a little closer but really haven't looked at it.

In all fairness, this would affect them too because our boxes are next to each other. Needless to say, they park in front of the box on Sunday and overnight, but the car is always gone first thing in the morning. And Saturday is getting ready to become a moot point.

On a different note, I was driving up the street next to ours the other day, and I literally stopped in the middle of the road. There was a car parked on the street (belongs to the President of the HOA), and on the windshield was taped a note that read, "Please do not park in front of our house. Your neighbors at XXXX (house number)." The car sat there, parked with note taped on windshield where driver would have to look out, for about 3 days. Then the car was on the other side of the street parked a different way, and I haven't seen it parked in front of the note-writer's house since!

hmmmmmm do you live in VOWS

No, I am in Parkwood Hill Estates. But I know where VOWS is - you guys are huge!

The USPS are not supposed to get out of their truck to place mail in the box (but can to deliver packages ) and are not supposed to back up to reach a box. This is according to the 125 y/o postman that delivers to my house. Take it for what it's worth.

I can tell you that in FTW, you cannot park in your grass and you are not supposed to park on the street after dark. I had FTW Code write me a warning for parking my boat on my driveway that had one wheel barley touching my grass, by about 2 inches. My HOA was aggravated with me because I didn't put my boat up after returning late at night for about the 5th time.... They called the city on me. Yet the city code guy had to drive by 100 other cars parked on the street to write me a warning. They never would respond to my emails asking why they selectively enforce the code? I sent them pictures of a truck right next door that was parked 18" in to his grass of the same night. Yep, my security camera comes in handy!!!!!
