A months-long fight over a boat parked in a driveway in Arvada’s Lake Arbor neighborhood boiled over Friday night when a resident parked an armored military vehicle outside a neighbor’s home, including signage. The confrontation, which played out on Lamar Street, has since drawn national television cameras and reignited questions about just how far a Colorado homeowner can push a parking dispute before the law steps in.
