What to do about a satellite dish that my HOA removed?

I purchased an apartment almost 1 year ago. I had a satellite dish connected to the wall on my back porch as well as 80% of the neighborhood. With no warning the HOA association for my community removed the satelite dish from my back porch and sent me a “removal maintenance fee” for $300. My dish is still missing and they will not return my phone calls. I just continue to recieve letters with added interest rates and late fees. This situation happened a month ago and they have already added $100 for interest and late fees. What do I do?

I suggest that you write the HOA a letter demanding back what was wrongfully taken from you by a certain date while keeping a copy of such for future use and need. If not returned by that date, you have the option of small claims court for the costs of the item taken which you will need to get an estimate for if you go to trial.
