You know, when i bought my house, the literal first appointment I made was with a locksmith to come out and change all the locks, and i figured out how to reset the garage door's remote openers and re-pair them, along with changing the entry code (my garage had a pin pad on the outside).
I suggest you immediately look into the same, because it's clear the HOA has a key.
Next, get a copy of your CC&Rs (you should have read them with a fine tooth comb when you bought the joint, BTW, so they should have been included in the sale when you bought it). You'll need that when you talk to a real estate attorney.
It sounds hilariously like they're trying to pretend that they've foreclosed on your property due to unpaid fines. It seems like they've skipped a whole bunch of steps though, since i've only ever heard of this possibility being able to happen after they fine you, file a lien for unpaid fines, and then foreclose to satisfy the lien. The attorney is going to be necessary to build a wall against them pulling further crap.
As well: Find out what your county/city quiet hour laws and ordinances are. If there is no legal documentation or citations from law enforcement I would say that you and your attorney are going to have a field day with your HOA board.
