Fake HOA Cops Tried to Tow My Car—But I’m the State DMV Director!

It started like any other Tuesday morning—coffee in hand, laptop open, halfway through the usual flood of emails from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, where I serve as State Director—but what wasn’t usual was the absurd violation notice duct-taped to my front door like a ransom note. “IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: VEHICLE STORAGE IN VIOLATION,” it screamed in Comic Sans font, no less, with a red HOA logo I’d never seen before. The strange part? My car wasn’t “stored” anywhere—it was parked in my own driveway, perfectly within the lines, registered, insured, and yes, I triple-checked, sparkling clean. At first, I thought it was a prank until I saw the woman across the street—sunglasses, clipboard, and a smug grin that could bend metal—watching me like she’d just caught a serial killer with expired tabs. “That’s unauthorized vehicular presence in a visibility-restricted zone,” she hollered, unprompted, as I walked outside. I blinked. “I’m sorry—who are you again?” I asked, trying not to laugh. She puffed her chest. “Karen R. Thompson. HOA President. Interim Code Enforcement Liaison.” Of course she was. The name alone sounded like it had a built-in airhorn. “Right,” I said, “but this isn’t an HOA community. Our street rejected the proposal three years ago.” Her eyes narrowed like I’d insulted her ancestors. “Actually,” she hissed, “we formed a private enforcement chapter last month. It’s a civic sub-zone clause under Article 19B. Look it up.” I did. It wasn’t. It didn’t exist. But the next morning, two men in reflective vests and completely unmarked white trucks showed up and began photographing my Honda Civic like it was a crime scene. “Excuse me,” I said, stepping out in my slippers. “Can I ask what this is?” One of them—sporting mirrored sunglasses and a fake-looking badge labeled “Community Integrity Officer”—grunted, “We’re with the HOA enforcement patrol. Vehicle’s been flagged.” “Flagged by whom?” I asked. He pointed vaguely toward Karen’s porch, where she stood holding a walkie-talkie like it was the nuclear football. “She’s authorized.” “Authorized by what?” I asked. “Neighborhood Consensus,” he said, like he was citing the Constitution. I stared. “I’m the State Director of the DMV, and I can tell you right now this is illegal as hell.” He blinked, visibly recalculating. Karen’s voice crackled over the walkie-talkie: “Proceed with the warning tag. We’ll move to towing on Phase Two.” Phase Two? This was my driveway, not a warzone. I stormed across the street, ignoring Karen’s yapping poodle and pettier tone. “You realize this is Disclaimer: The stories on this channel are for entertainment and comedic purposes only.
