    Finally have the videographic evidence that she has been cutting down OUR privet, OUR elephant grass but I managed to stop her before she attacked Carol's prized banana.

    One more episode and the police will be called, she's already on a warning from them.

      That first post is 3 months old - I wonder what happened?

      I'd have a right face on if my neighbour started pruning my shrubs....

        Not a year since her last "episode" but it's that time again.....

        She's called the council complaining about...

        Our 15 dogs
        Our rat infestation
        Our filthy house

        Visit from the council today.....

        Only 4 dogs
        No rats (the other 11 mystery dogs must have killed them)?
        Newly installed kitchen, flooring and decoration (she's never been in our house)

        I suppose it'll be the RSPCA next?

        Carol has asked me NOT to say anything or Kill her (pity).

          I'd be upset too if someone starting hacking at my plants but if it was growing over their side of the fence, I'd not be able to complain.

          Sorry about your missing 11 dogs, rats and dirt. Did Carol hide them? :heehee:

            I'll ask Carol Lori! They're definitely not in the greenhouse.

            It would be a joke but she's on an agenda to get us to move out, probably because our garden is full to the brim with plants (taller ones along the boundary so she can't peer over), whereas she has cut down almost everything living in her "mothers" garden.

            Such a contrast, her mother is a lovely person.

              That is so horrible. I had bad neighbours way back and ever thereafter specified NO NEIGHBOURS. Life really is too short and precious for that kind of hassle. Your home is your sanctuary.

                The council were of no benefit to her agenda, she's resorted back to cutting OUR plants down, got a feeling she may need another visit from the police (criminal damage, trespass, defamation of character), the list goes on but I cant get her on libel, she couldn't spell the word let alone the meaning.... an amoeba has more intelligence!

                Water off a ducks back to me but upsetting Carol, that I do not tolerate!

                  Stay calm, keep notes and if you can video footage is even better.

                  You can get IP CCTV cameras really quite cheap now, and they will send an alert to your mobile phone when movement is detected. Feel free to drop me a PM Vince if you want more advice on installing one.

                    Just to add, here is a screenshot taken just now on my phone of my £30 camera (which I can move remotely and even speak to people through it, all using my phone):

                      @Fat Controller is right. I found that after I put in CCTV cameras the hillbilly neighbours stopped their nonsense. They didn't want to get caught on film. There are 8 cameras that record every move near the fence line. I still can't stand the people as they have nothing but weeds, no trees, and a driveway that is severely rutted and sunken, etc but at least now they leave me alone. And that is the main thing I wanted. :blue thumb:
