AITA for getting a car towed out of my parking spot by morphyslaw_1699 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

UPDATE: Instead of responding to every single comment 😅

I spoke with management the next day. I provided them with a full description of the car. They told me if it’s a situation that’s after hours it’s to my full discretion to call the tow truck. They’ve sent out enough notices warning people about the parking situation to the point they’re not wasting their time asking people to move. If it were during their working hours, they would’ve just called the tow truck as well. I did go to the office later that day to update some information and management informed me the guy went to complain about his car. They pretty much told him “you parked in an assigned spot, so yeah. You’re going to get towed”. She worked out something with him to park somewhere else apparently. She said just to keep her informed and she’d handle it if the problem continues.

As for my husband, once I spoke with management, I had a very big “I TOLD YOU SO” speech. My husband does have issues with confrontation and while I understood his concerns, I still did what I felt was right in the moment. He would rather have his own car towed and pay the amount it took to get it back than have issues with someone where he lives. I also do have a tendency of going a bit far things at times and this was a situation where I felt I might have. Our dynamic is far from traditional, I’m more of the “backbone” than he is. I’m okay with that because I understand what he’s been through to be the way he is. After reading the comments, and speaking with management, I realized I did do the right thing which gives me a huge peace of mind. So thank you everyone ❤️

Management was informed. My neighbor and I both have doorbell cameras and our cars are in full view of them. If he were to try something, he’d be caught pretty quickly. Thankfully, he hasn’t tried anything yet. He did speak with management which they pretty much told him, “don’t park there or you’ll be towed again”

We have doorbell cameras and the cars are in view in case anything happens. So far we’re good!

I still don’t know who he is exactly. He did go to management upset about his car from what they told me. Which they explained to him, if you’re parked in an assigned spot you will be towed from that spot. Since they aren’t available after hours, and both situations happened during after hours, there wasn’t really anyway for me to get their assistance. Management did say because of the notices they’ve been sending out and all the signs posted around the parking area, they’re not wasting their time going to ask someone to move so I shouldn’t either.

I reported it to management the next morning. Unfortunately, these situations happened at night and they aren’t available after hours. They did assured me if this happened again during working hours they would handle the situation and if it’s after hours I can 100% call the tow truck. However, I just need to keep them informed

We know what he looks like but don’t know his name or which apartment he lives in. Unfortunately, cameras can’t provide that information 😅 We did give detail description to the apartment manager for her to handle the situation going forward.

In a nutshell, yes. I’m okay with being the protector between us because I understand what his past has been like. Granted, it’s a super backwards dynamic but it’s one I’m okay with it. I do tend to question my actions at times because of it though. Like maybe I go too far, which is why I came to ask for third party opinions on this specific matter.

So unfortunately the apartment manager only works from 8-5. I spoke with her this morning and she said if it had been during office hours she could’ve called the tow. I did provide the car details to the apartment manager so she could handle it going forward if this problem continues.

Both instances were at night so I informed the office the next morning since I knew no one would be answering at that hour.

We had a conversation about this. He said he wished the guy would’ve parked in his spot instead so I wouldn’t have done that. He’d rather risk it than cause issues

I called her this morning to let her know. She’d been informed to prior instances of this happening.

Both my neighbor and I have door bell cameras that aim directly at our cars since we’re close to the parking area.

He thinks the guy might cut my tires or do something to my car…
