It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I wouldn't go anywhere near that Cadillac now. The "very nice woman" may change if she eventually discovers the damage to her paint, and if you've never touched it, you can't be blamed.

Can we asked what happened? I want to dislike disgruntled neighbor even more!

Re: Don’t try this at home!
He, his wife, his daughter (who doesn’t live there but IS there constantly) and her two young children walked through my backyard to talk to my other side next door neighbors for 7 years. They never asked, just did it from the time we moved in (and owners before us didn’t get along with them either so not like they were friends who set a precedence). We never complained to them, even though I would get startled seeing humans walk past my glass sliding doors all summer.
Then about a year ago they had a dying dog due to a tick bite and the hideous daughter who doesn’t live there told my wife and son to please not walk on their property to come see the dog because it was a tough time for them. Note: we never let my son go fully on their property but he would run towards it and step foot on the outskirts when he saw the dog.
Then finally, one day my son charged toward and got to the middle of their backyard when my wife was picking something up in our yard. The disgruntled neighbor drunkenly screamed at them about liability. The next 3 months while we awaited a fence to be put up, their new dog (they’ve had 2 dogs die in the 8 years I lived here, this is the 3rd) took dumps all over my backyard because they have never taken any of their dogs for walks and they don’t enforce any boundary rules for them.
Yet the whole family looked like they were mourning the day the fence guys came in and put up the best $5000 investment money can buy. All because they would now need to walk the grandchildren through the street to get to the neighbors house from that point forward. A lot of effort for sure.
Thanks, that was therapeutic.

Re: Don’t try this at home!
I hope you electrified that fence.
Jesus, what a total D-bag that guy is.

Re: Don’t try this at home!
Where I work we have a gas station where we gas up the customers and loaners. They have a car wash and they supply cloths to wipe down and dry after the wash,well we watch people pull over there and pick these rags off the ground and go to work on their cars, I just sit there and laugh. They just don't get it.

Every neighborhood has one. Sorry he's next door. I'm in the same boat. All great neighbors except the one right next door that is just miserable. I hear them shouting at each other all the time. They turn their sprinklers on with no regard for my vehicles, or my kids playing in our back yard. Had a pool put in and didn't bother fencing it until myself and several others called the city on them, etc. Several weeks ago one of their cars attempted to enter the garage while the door was closed, and they regularly drive though the neighborhood at high speeds despite a ton of kids. It's time for them to be in a retirement home and have the cars taken away.

^^Sorry to hear that as well, pilotpip. Hopefully these homes go to good, understanding people for future generations.

I believe that this is an arrestable offense. Also, the insurance company may total the car.

Mending Wall
BY ROBERT FROST
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
