    Font - ♫ Posted by u/rodeopete3281 6 hours ago 2 Neighbors used my property as their own. Paid for new fence. I recently bought a house and have been having some work done before I move in. It was empty on the market for about 6 or 8 months before I bought it. One morning I got a call from my contractor, asking me about moving the cars in the driveway, and of course I had no idea what he was talking about. I hadn't moved in yet. I left my jobsite and drove nearly a half hour to get there. As soo

I informed them that I was the new owner and they can't park there any longer. We went back and forth, and with the intention of being a good neighbor and trying to show some good will, I agreed to allow them to park there for a few more weeks until I move in; with the agreement that they would move them by 6 am every morning. The rest of the w

Sunday morning, I grabbed a trailer and loaded some furniture to take over and store in the garage. Once again, there were cars in the driveway. I called them and got VM. I texted and said they had until a tow truck could arrive, to get them moved. No answer. I called a tow company. 45 minutes later, 2 tow trucks showed up, backed in a

The gate was installed and I went by to pick up the opener that evening. The neighbor husband came out to confront me, and I opted to just call the PD, and deal with it legally. That Saturday, I went by to accept an outdoor furniture delivery, and check on things when i noticed a towel beside the pool and a small kids flotation d

    Font - The neighbors were in my pool. They were hanging out and using my furniture. When I opened the door and began raising hell, they told the kids to go to the house and the children ran to a corner of our fence and just walked through. They had cut out the privacy fence so it could be removed and had been using the pool at their leisure for who knows how long. Again, I called the police and filed a complaint. The dad was arrested for trespassing, DPP, and an outstanding warrant, and the olde

    Font - I replaced the fence with a new one, because they had destroyed the posts, runners and pickets by removing and reinstalling the panel. Small claims awarded me the total cost of 83' of 8¹ privacy fence, which came out to $3,800. The following Monday morning around 5am, their cars were parked in the street, where there's no street parking, so I made a phone call. They were gone when I left at 7am. I haven't been paid yet, but I did notice a For Rent sign in their yard this morning, so that'

    Font - Dizzyed UpGirl. 4 hr. ago The driveway is one thing, and still annoying and wrong of them. But to come into your yard and use your furniture and pool? What made them think that was okay? Reply Share 75 rodeopete3281 OP 3 hr. ago I guess because the pool was still being maintained and nobody was there; they decided it was free to use. I can't begin to try to understand some people and their thought process. 65 Reply Share
