I've got this ongoing conflict with an adjoining neighbor who has a problem respecting the property rights of those around him. The problem started a couple of years ago with him hunting on my property without my permission, knocking down trees with a bulldozer on my property and has escalated from there. The neighbors background from what I have learned through others, pulling his property deeds at the courthouse and through him running his mouth is that he has basically been set up in a landscaping business by his father, and the father also set him up with the property adjoining mine and basically financed his house as well. The guy has no concept of property rights and since he has been given everything also has no grip of the fact that others might just object to activities that infringe on their right to enjoy their own property in peace. Seems like a typical adult spoiled brat. Anyway, he has 6 acres adjoining my 37 acres on two sides, and while he has a nice chain-link fence in his back yard, insists on letting his dogs run loose onto my property among other annoying behaviors.
Well, the most recent incident happened today while my 14 YO daughter rode her bicycle to the mailbox. This guys German Shepard came onto my property after her, all hackled up and snarling and basically scared her pretty bad. I resisted the urge to confront the neighbor as he is a beligerent moron and the outcome could likely end in violence; so I called the sheriff for probably the 15th time in 2 years. Each time the guy has lied and said his dog was never on my property, so it has been his word against mine. Well, this time, the guys wife admitted she saw the incident after the guy lied to the sheriffs deputies about it at first. The wife stated that she immediately penned up the dog after the incident. Finally I now have some evidence against this guy to add to the list of case numbers I have collected over time. While the deputies did not cite the dog owner, at least now I have something more concrete against this idiot and two law enforcement officers as wittnesses to his character, or lack thereof.
I just needed to vent a little. I've read my share of "neighbors from hell" stories, so I thought I'd add mine to the list for your enjoyment.
