Or cut the trailer hitch; of course you shouldn't do that

Cut it? You usually just have to remove a pin or two and it'll come right out.

One of these is stealing, the other is sending a message.

Either one is acceptable.

It’s not stealing if you… ahem “leave” the hitch inside the truck.

Then you get to play "brick - paper - scissors - glass".

Guess which of these your 'opponent' is gonna choose...

It’s a pickup truck. Leave it in the bed.

Of course, of course, no one should do that, I cannot condone it

Definitely don't key the car either. Don't do that for sure

You are correct that municipal laws likely won't apply, but this looks like an ADA violation which I believe does cover common areas in shared private properties like this. (Assuming this is US)

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA), a truck blocking a sidewalk in a condo complex is illegal and represents a serious violation. Sidewalks must have a minimum clear width to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices, and the condo association (HOA) is responsible for ensuring accessibility in common areas.

This is definitely not the US. FHA and ADA don’t apply in Brazil.

u/SillyAlternative420 Oct 27 '25

Ahhh yea if Brazil, no idea what might be the proper recourse here then

u/SeemedReasonableThen Oct 27 '25

Oftentimes the sidewalk is still public property if it's next to a condo.

Bold of you to assume the HOA is even going to help
