Abstract
Excerpt: The Auburn Greens Unit 1 Homeowner's Association (HOA), in Placer County California, taped a notice on residents' doors informing them that as of January 1, 2018, a new Garage Door Policy would be effective. The policy would require all garage doors be kept open between the hours of eight and four, Monday to Friday. The reason for the rule was illegal tenants were found in the community. The board believed the new policy was necessary to identify illegal tenants. The punishment for violating the rule would be a $200 fine. A nine-year-old boy in the community noted with concern, "I don't think it's a good idea because they are going to steal my bike".1 While it's unclear who he thought would steal his bike, it is clear he thought that leaving it unattended in his open garage was ill-advised.
