| I would be putting my trash cans in the garage and putting a lock on the water faucet or take the handle off!!!! They would have free loaded for the last time............ The nerve of some people..... I would cool off first then go and tell them that they just took their last free ride on the free utility train... You know my mom had a free loading neighbor that would just walk right in and not even knock and help himself to a cup of sugar or an egg, wrench, screwdriver, etc and also any sweets she had made cookies, cake or whatever. He would just say don't get up- don't mind me I know where it's at. So one day she made a special batch of brownies with a secret ingrediant (Ex-Lax) chocolate chips. Needless to say he never borrowed anything else after that......

| This is outrageous and these people are stealing from you. Water is so expensive in AZ so this would send me over the wall. I think you can buy locks for your faucets and you might want to check with your water department. BUT, having said all of this I will be very leary of pissing a neighbor off as I would be afraid what he would do to the dogs to get even with you. Even if you go out with the dogs all the time he could put treats down that could harm your little ones. Just Be Careful Cindy & The Gang |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Quote:
I usually don't get into confrontations ...UNLESS you mess with my KIDS, Dogs, or husband & Family - I tend to just speak my mind and walk away without yelling - life for me has worse problems lately.... He should feel lucky I didn't go off on him....I've been holding alot in lately and he could have been the recepient of ALL The stress of the last 6 months if I let myself go. That would NOT have been pretty. He did look guilty as could be - that was enough for me - but let me catch him again.....and he's not going to be so lucky. Hmmmmm....Ex Lax huh ? LOVE IT ! | |

| Wouldn't it be funny if you had some kind of super loud alarm that would go off whenever they moved the hose?

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Now THAT is a pretty good idea - I've been thinking about what I could do because I really doubt they'll stop this - they'll probably just get sneakier ....thing that's sad is I like these people... but honestly they're really hurting us financially by doing this...that's the worst part - It makes me wonder how they can have so many nice things - yet are too cheap to pay for services everyone else pays for ? and I agree with being civil with my neighbors - I did know someone who got into a huge fight with her neighbor - she came home to 2 dead dogs ...someone had poisened them. I never confront or fight with someone without trying to be respectful. This guy is pushing his luck a bit though lately...

deny everything. If your water bills have been out of sight, I would show him what they normally are and ask for payment. I like to get along with neighbors but this guy should learn a lesson. I just can't imagine the gall!!

| LOL Villette!!! I admire your strength and restraint!!! I agree with how you feel and am SO sorry you have been taken advantage of....but even when you are mad and venting your posts are always so humorous! I loved that statement you made about "wonder why their cars are so clean" LOL!!!! You are a joy...EVEN when you are mad!

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Villette, you need to take pictures of YOUR water hose going to THEIR house using YOUR water. Call the police and report them. This is theft. I would not allow them to use your trash cans either. YOU pay for pick up. THEY do not. They are moochers alright and will continue to take advantage from you and anyone else they can including the government. PUT A STOP TO THIS RIGHT NOW!

| i would put a video camera in a nearby window if he is taking your water and using your trash who know what else he is helping himself toso people if there smart enough know how to steal your phone line, cable all kinds of things that your paying for. maybe put up a very large no trespassing sign he will get the picture. make sure you lock your house up to cause he may help himself to your inside stuff too. i wouldnt be so nice i dont mind lending things but when it comes back broken i expect that they will fix it. as for garbage ok no big deal but the water nope i wouldnt share. the more water you use makes your rates go up besides the fact that as that meter is spinning your pocketbook is empting. you have every right to vent! |
