I was having a parking dispute with my apartment manager where I was borrowing a vehicle while mine was in the shop. She sent a warning letter to not park it there. After unsuccessfully trying to state my case, I asked to speak to the owners for their understanding. She said absolutely not and refused to give me any information about them. I decided to do some online research with her name and company to find out the owner’s identity but was only able to find her arrest history instead, I even found her date of birth and address. It turns out she was arrested three times for drunk driving and being under the influence of other narcotics with the last time happening just months before.

I can find some dirt that could potentially be used to blackmail my manager but couldn’t find a single piece of information about the owners of a large apartment complex. Privacy is indeed power.
