When we moved in to our new house, we kept seeing cats around, but never thought anything of it. Then one day, there were 13 just in our back yard. We had seen some of these same cats going in and out of our neighbour's house. After trying to contact the neighbour about the problem with no success, we called the local SPCA. They went to the neighbour's house and found 72 cats, none of which were properly fed or vaccined. Many of them had to be put to sleep. They allowed my neighbours to keep a certain amount of them though, and now every year they have to go back and take away the sickly ones. Don't get me wrong, my family and I all LOVE cats, we have one of our own.. but that's just too much!!
We lived on a fairly busy street (we were renting) and our neighbors that we loved moved out. Then the neighbors from hell moved in. Many a night I was kept up till the early morning hours with there parties and such. The icing on the cake however was the morning I was getting my kids ready to play outside on a gorgeous summer day and low and behold on my front lawn was empty beer cans and vomit. I tracked down the pervious tenants and got the name of the owners of the house. I contacted them at work and let them know all the things that were going on in that house and that I was not the only person who had called the police on them they expressed their remorse and within a couple of weeks our neighbors were no more.
On one side of us lives a very quiet couple with 2 teenage girls that are never home which is nice and then there's the other side. The mother is never home and her son that must be in his 30's comes home for the summer and brings scummy friends home to live for the summer. Last summer we caught one peeing in our yard on my gladiolas. We phoned the police because other stuff was going on..anyways thank god they all moved out..now that summer is coming soon we're wondering who will be in the house next.
I have lived in my home for over 25 years, the houses on both sides of me, have been rented out to numerous tenants over the years, on one side, lived an irresponsible single father with a five year old problem child, always on the loose. The child put a garden hose through the open window of my vehicle and turned on the outside tap. As the water was running out the doors, the father just remarked that it wasn't his fault, it was the kid.
On the other side of me, my neighbour was having work done on her property, having no way of getting to the back of the property, they proceeded to uproot my perennials to make way off my driveway for cement trucks, and other vehicles which left huge ruts in my driveway and my lawn.
I really want to move, I'm tired of breaking in new neighbours.
