Catching a thieving neighbor is not as easy as it looks. First of all, without evidence, it's kind of an audacious assumption to be made. It's certainly not the kind of thing you can accuse someone of face-to-face unless you have concrete proof. In this instance, the only concrete evidence this Redditor had was that her neighbor was a miserable human being. That's certainly enough to suspect, but it's not enough to prove.

For a little backstory, the Redditor started to create distance between herself and the Karen neighbor after she made her baby cry in a car. Then, the original poster (OP) began to notice that a few of her items were consistently missing. She installed a hidden camera and used this past Halloween as bait to see if the Karen would bite… and let's just say, it worked.

    After years, I finally caught my neighbor stealing from me on camera.

    Against my better judgement, she asked if we wanted to go to a store nearby with her. I agreed, and after we were done at the store I put my child in the car

    I don't know why management here won't do anything about her. The things I mentioned are really the tip of the iceberg, she's also allowed homeless people to camp out in her parking spot, she

    She's a super miserable human being and I know karma will get her eventually but I don't understand why management doesn't care about any of her lease breaking habits.

    please remember, this is an elderly woman masquerading as a kind neighbor. I did report the thefts to the police but they didn't do anything.

    seashmore . You need to file a complaint every time she smokes in the bathroom. When telling. management, remind them that it is a violation of the lease. After a few times of it going unresolved, suggest that it could put them in trouble with their insurance company if a fire were to break out.
