As some of you may remember my car has been broken into several times since this past spring. Whomever is doing this is just leaving my driver's side door unlocked and not entering my car. Before I leave my car to go inside, I do a visual check of all the locks on my car, then I do a manual check to see if any of the doors will open, and then I set the car alarm. Sometimes my lock is unlocked everyday and sometimes weeks go by without it being touched. And it happens at all hours of the day and night. I also have a steering wheel lock. The alarm company told me that the alarm will not go off if someone is using some tool that goes between the window and the door to unlock the door.

The other matter that is upsetting me is minor but I cannot figure out the logic in it. We had new sod intalled around our townhouses in the common property areas. Some of the sod didn't grow and is now dead. The Board said that the sod that was dead would be replaced. But my neighbor said that the board now wants the owners to replace the sod themselves because the Board doesn't have the money to do so. A couple of weeks ago, I received a newsletter in my mail box telling me that there would be new windows installed in some of the townhouses. My question is if they can afford to put a hole through a wall and install a new window then why can they not afford some sod? Doesn't make sense?! Are they just passing the buck along...not wanting to take responsiblity?
