I forgot about the time the couple in our neighborhood HOA stole $15,000, even to forging checks in my name , and I came down on them with such medieval insanity that they paid full restitution, + 10%, within 2 months:
Thursday, 9-15 : Sister’s birthday: made 4 attempts to reach her, no response. Even talked to the kids nanny. Sigh…
Received phone call from ex-VP of our neighborhood association, the Tanglewood Resident’s Association (TRA): he had heard rumor that the Treasurer of the San Antonio Firemen and Police Pensioners’ Association (www.safppa.org ) had stolen up to $70,000. This Treasurer happens to be the Treasurer of the TRA as well. Went to bank. Found out things. Bad things.
Called other Board members as we had a Board meeting that very night . Went to Board meeting, Treasurer (and spouse, who happens to be the President of the Association) cannot give financial report due to computer problems. (hammer to hard drive, I suspect, but have no proof.)
I am a signatory on this account, by the way, though I have never made any payments from it. With only 90 members paying $17/year each, there’s not a lot of money in this thing, and most of it goes to four items: power, water, National Night Out, and our Christmas Light contest.
Like I said, I’m not bad at these sort of things, so if you want direct advice, send me a PM and we’ll arrange a chat.
