Some quick questions for your super outrage.

1) Did they break down a gate to get onto your private property?

2) Do ANY other folks use "your" private property? Are you falsely claiming ownership rights to something that has a form of common ownership?

3) When you claim it's your property and entry is forbidden - has ANYONE else given permission (explicit / implicit) for non property owners to access? Think of things like family members of an owner, guests, UPS drivers, delivery drivers , maintenance folks etc. Is it clear that anyone who is not an owner can't access? This is normally managed by an attended gate system or similar.

4) Are you one of those folks who like to yell at minority or others in your neighborhood who don't "belong"? We've seen videos of delivery drivers dealing with folks like you who (often falsely) claim ownership of property.

5) If you don't PERSONALLY own the property, have you been explicitly authorized to act as an agent of the property? You'd be surprised at the number of folks like you claiming personal ownership who actually have ZERO rights to trespass a delivery driver etc.

6) You've made a strong claim it's illegal for someone to come onto the property, CA law protects folks unless they have been trespassed. Has that occurred?

Note: Many property management companies partner with third parties to help manage lots. If you have a shortage of parking or someone actively managing lot (not you) they may contract for things like expired tags / stolen vehicles and other tow services. They may walk the lot. They can also pay for someone to come and see which cars may be parking regularly without paying required parking permit fees etc. Many homeowners PREFER that someone sweep their lots.

Arguments great apart from: "dealing with folks like you who (often falsely)....".

Let the person answer the questions, and then start the crucifiction [sic]?

Great. I look forward to the answers!

Having been around the block a few times with folks who are

a) outraged

b) make ridiculous claims of criminal activity

I've gotten probably a bit too quick to assume they fall into a certain type of person. I look forward to hearing more about this parking lot that is so strictly controlled that merely driving through it is a crime.

Maybe people don't want to live in a world where every minutiae of their life, including where they parked their car, is collected and analyzed by mysterious strangers.

What does parent commenter stand to gain from falsifying their comment? What do you expect to accomplish with your itemized incredulity?

[tempnow987]

The chance of this person individually owning a parking lot seems very very remote.

The chance that there was an illegal activity on the parking lot, if it regularly was in use by non-owners, seems even more of a stretch.

You can see plenty of videos online of folks "policing" spaces they don't ACTUALLY have the rights to (usually because they don't like skin color of someone).

I'm just saying, let's take the claims of criminal activity because someone was simply on a parking lot the OP claims to own with a grain of salt. A big grain :)
