A person hears loud music from an apartment all day but noone answers the door. The concerned citizen fears their neighbour inside has suffered some unfortunate event, so calls the police who arrive and destroy the door.

Turns out the neighbour's on a holiday and left their stereo on.

Who's responsible to pay for the new (and expensive) door: the lot owner, the person who asked the police to arrive and destroy the door (without executive committee notification or approval), or the owners corporation?
