So I've got a problem...for some unknown reason whenever I go out to my truck in the morning I find it unplugged. The condo building I live in is comprised mostly of older people. I have never had a beef, confrontation, or problem with anyone, but SOMEONE is unplugging my truck. What in the world should I do?

IIRC most apartments run the outlets outdoors that are to be used for plugging in trucks are on timers and the bill for that is shared by the tenets as a whole but i could be wrong.

Nathan can you see your truck from your window? maybe set up a camera on it.

x2...

But... if you really feel like it, sit and observe your truck from a window, and when they walk by, go out and confront them...

My balcony outlooks the parking lot, and yes i see my truck easily. There is a separate plug in for each stall, the fees are covered by the condo fees that everyone pays. I dont know what to do, its upsetting. Whoever doing it is either doing it late at night or early morning.

Hello

Set up a web cam or cam corder and let it run all night. I had a problem with one of my room mates dogs years ago he said his dog was so well behaved in the house and he blamed the other dog for every thing. After I showed him the video he shut up.

I like that idea better. Can you be charged for murder if they have a heart attack when you blow the horn?
