Does the neighbor count as a pest?

[rachiegirl]

Aww hunny, I'm so sorry you are having so much trouble! So sorry you lost the puppy, I hope your dog pulls through. I would definitely get the signs saying that you are on camera. even if you cannot afford a camera! Then make sure you do everything you can to make him believe that you do have them; and several at that! Keep a close eye on him and if you have any neighbors that you are friendly with get them to help you keep an eye out as well. Document everything, and see if neighbors will do the same. Let him know that he is being watched, you know it is him, and if it does not stop there will be dire consequences! I hope things get better.

Keep your chin up, and tell your hubby we give him a BIG THANK YOU!!

I highly suggest climbing roses, the really thorny kind, growing up the fence. that is usually not part of city code and will stop peeping neighbors

yep, time to get a camera.
at Costco on Hulen St (South FT Worth) you can get outside video cameras that hook to computer for about $200

if he poisoned the dogs don't let Fido out unless you are outside. watch the chickens the roo may be next

sorry you have those sorts of neighbors

We have a deer cam on a tree in the backyard because the neighbor's goats keep getting out and eating my scratch feed and deer corn. I have many pictures of his goats in my yard and even have one with him on his 4-wheeler in my backyard chasing his goats back home while I was at work. They are dated with the time, temp, and moon status. If needed ~ they'll say more than any words can in court.

We had neighbors like that before we moved waaaay out to the country. We were only allowed a 6' privacy fence, so we put a climbing rose against it. First they tried to kill it by dumping stuff on it, then they called the township/borough when it got 2" higher than the fence. We had to keep it trimmed because it was technically a "barrier" and couldn't be higher than 6'.
Eventually, we got tired of the constant harassment and reporting - we moved out. About 2 weeks later the guy had a heart attack. (Un)Fortunately, he lived through it after surgery, but... Karma anyone?
We just had to draw the line somewhere. I couldn't stand the reporting, animal control visits, spying, and constant nervousness it caused. I used to have nightmares that he was watching me sleep or hurting my animals.
Now our neighbors are about 1/2 mile away. They are really nice and super friendly. I even got them into raising chickens! We went in on a joint order of chicks this month.

Do they really have nothing better to do but bother decent folks and poke in there buisness?? Are you serious?? I am so glad I don't live in town.Our neighbors aren't to far away from us but it sounds like it could be worse hearing all this ya'll are going threw.I couldn't stand living door to door to our pest of a neighbors now.

I agree with mom'folly and sundance--get pictures

THEN....
hire a PRIVATE trial attorney. Ask around and get a real
"attack dog." (This type of lawyer comes in both male and female.)

The police have admitted that he is the culpret, and they have records of his harrassment. You need to hit this clown where it hurts him--in the wallet.

Your attorney can develop a case against him, and when you win, he pays YOUR court costs, the extra monies you have spent trying to make him happy, and pays for your emotional suffering (or however he/she wants to phrase it in court.)

Keep us posted. We "forum-ites" are ALL rooting for YOU!!

Be very careful for your children. You said he is very friendly to your face. He could very well be a predator that is slowly getting rid of his "barriers".

"Be very careful for your children. You said he is very friendly to your face. He could very well be a predator that is slowly getting rid of his "barriers".
What boxermom says could be very true. We had a predator living next door and I was unaware because he wasnt a convicted one. He made our life a living hell by always complaining about the dogs and even went so far as to poison them. He was very brazen, when we first moved in my oldest daughter caught him looking in the window at her. It was the dogs that alerted her!
This neighbor you are dealing with sounds exactly like him, down to the joking around to your face and being something entirely different behind your back.
Luckily he lost his house and the new neighbors are great.
Ugh. I hope you can get this resolved.

I had a similiar situation... I've got a large boxer/pit mix and he plays well...... rather rough with other dogs. I've asked the neighbors to keep an eye on their dogs, because although mine's chained, theirs isn't... and well, my dog hurt theirs on a regular basis and I refuse to pay vet bills for a trespassing dog. Mine was just being protective.
