LOLGeez this thread moves like wildfire.
I had a neighbor years ago who was convinced I had reported her animals. She kept telling another neighbor that she was positive it was me. He told her repeatedly that he knew it wasn't me, because if there was a problem, I'd have knocked on her door & told her to her face. As true as that statement was, he also knew it wasn't me who reported her, because HE was one who did it.
