What Would You Have Done?
We bought a CYV about 2 years ago but unfortunately our plans to move this year have not materialized because we can not sell our house. We live about 6 hours from the Villages and come down as often as we can for 3 or 4 days at a time. Our next door neighbor has a friend living with him until he can get settled and we let the friend park in our driveway when we are not there. We email him to let him know we are coming so he knows to not park there. We have no problem with this - great guy. With that said, I will get to the problem. I flew down a couple of weeks ago, arriving at the house around 10 pm. I did not have a car as my husband was driving down a few days later. The next day, I took the golf cart out to do some errands and when I returned, there was a car parked in my driveway, a car in back of that and another in the street partially blocking my driveway. I don't know who these cars belonged to or who they were visiting and it was pouring rain at the time and I had a hard time getting my golf cart back in my garage. By the time I looked outside again all the cars were gone. I purposely left the garage door open so they would know someone was there. I did not get a knock on the door to apologize. Everyone in the villas has our email address and phone number, so I would think that if someone was having a lot of visitors and they wanted to use my driveway, they should have called or emailed me and we would not have a problem with that. We are a littled disturbed that people would assume that just because we are not there permanently that they have the right to use our driveway anytime they feel like it. What if one of the cars had an oil leak and left a spot in our driveway, or my husband happened to drive in at that time.
