Yard killers
So, we come back from a long 13 -15 hour drive, eager to get home, and our usually mangey bushes and tree limbs that hand over the driveway to greet us. They were completely destroyed. I'm not talking a neat little trim, I mean someone took a chainsaw and basically removed them. Everything along the side of the driveway, down to a nice little bush that was by the mailbox (which we had been waiting to flower for so many years, and irony, it just had!), and even took several limbs off the tree. Not only that, but they didn't even take away the destruction! There's a heap of branches and leaves and the likes piled in the front of the yard!
There were some church folks asked to come build a ramp, but I doubt they'd take the time for such mayhem. Not to mention it's less likely they would leave the remains and the ugly bush-stumps behind. My stepfather is thinking it might be a company that's going to come by and say "you can pay us a couple thousand for our good work and efforts now!" which won't work anyways, since they weren't hired by us and there's no record of our contact. Then there's the most plausible: an angry neighbor, who often complained about them.
It's so weird... I still just look out the window and go "wha-huh?" It's hard to believe someone would take such trouble to chop off so many limbs and pile them... but who knows?
Has anything weird like this ever happened to you guys? Some crazy person taking out their angst on your yard? I'm gonna go see if I can get some pictures to "flaunt."

Re: Yard killers
There's a lot of theories that could be placed. Maybe the aliens didn't like the look of the yard? Or bigfoot came and made a salad out of it I kind of doubt the eviction though. Then again, still no clue what happened.. Could be

Re: Yard killers
Had a grumpy old jerk for a neighbor when I was young. The guy HATED it when we kids would cross over into his yard for whatever reason. THreatened to shoot us a time or two. We once built a snow man that was on the line, if not on our side. And then we watched as this old man stumps over into our lawn, kicks it over, kicks it apart, and then stumps back to his house. I was seven, maybe?

Re: Yard killers
There was one incident where he came across the street and was digging the dirt out of our gutter, and made some snide comment about "well you guys weren't using it" or something like that. That's the only particularly weird thing he's done, and that was so long ago... It's hard to think he'd still be mad at us.
But if there's people out there willing to hurt a neighbors animals... Who knows?

Re: Yard killers
People who use their ethnicity to avoid punishment sucks. That'd be like me beating Veph down, and then saying that you can't call the cops on me because I'm of jewish heritage, or you're nazis...
Sons were convicted murders, you say? Couldn't that be use as evidence towards him being a bad father too?

Re: Yard killers
And it probably could have been, but you have to understand something about the police where I grew up. They 'overlooked' a LOT of things. It was a small town, after all.
Re: Yard killers
When I was a kid we had a guy who would do this. When I saw him kill my new puppy in front of me with a shovel. Had my mom and dad call the police. They told us that they could arest him but at most he would get no jail time and counciling.Palladiamorsdeus wrote:It got worse, talking to Sat reminded me of everything the guy did. He used to set down anti-freeze in front of peoples houses at night if he knew they had outside pets, to try and kill them. He purposefully ran over one of our puppies and one of our kittens once. Watched him do it. He also ran over one of our cats, but she got better. To spite him, probably. He ALSO poisoned, flat out poisoned our dog Booger. He too got better though. The guy was just an absolute jerk, and I was glad when we moved away from there.
The next day my younger sister was screaming cause the guy had come into our yard and was trying to pull my sisters cat from her arms cause it pooped in his yard. I got my dads hunting rifle and shot him.
Yes he survived
yes I was arrested
yes I was handled with kid gloves due to the trama of seeing him kill my dog then attack my sister so I didnt do time and got my record GONE at 18
yes he killed the cat before I could shoot him.
Good news of the story---Restraining order forced him to move, assult of a child got him jailtime, and he has to use a shit bag because of the damage the gun did.

Re: Yard killers
And Redith, way to kick ass! People like that should have NO excuse to do those things to animals (or people) and not be punished for it. I imagine that being a fairly traumatic thing to happen to a young person but I bet it built you a very strong character

Re: Yard killers
Even if nothing comes of it, if this neighbour is ramping up his aggression towards your family, it's worth it to have police reports as a paper trail that shows the history of it. Call 'em. Not 911, just the local precinct.
