[QUOTE="Star*, post: 268935, member: 4964"] I'm so sorry for anyone who has to endure I.N.S. (Idiotic neighbor syndrome) In my life I've had a few, and now my Mom doesn't understand why I want to continue to move to a place with no neighbors. That being said - and you being the obvious bigger person (figuratively) if she is indeed pregnant...I would video tape and walk and talk on my property. Let her hear you saying things like "We're moving to our new house, this is how we are leaving our old house. My brother in law is a deputy and has promised to send someone by to keep an eye on our old home." THen walk out back - and video tape the dogs - playing, lively - and say on the tape "These are our two labradors, nice healthy furkids, just had their complete physicals at the vets and they got an A+ report card on their health." THen I would walk around front and video tape the front of your house and leave a lamp (even if you had to go to goodwill and buyjunk lamps to put in each room) on in every room illumination like the 2nd coming. I'd also pan my video camera over to her yard and get her license plate numbers....and I'd video tape my air conditioner, and say things on the tape like "Here is our outside AC unit - intact." and then under everywindow and in front of every door I would drop a load of sand and brush it with a broom so that to a burglar it looks like plain sand but to you it looks like a footprint. And inside I would buy (again cheap) baby powder and dust every carpet in my house with it - and redust everytime YOU walked in there for any reason. It vacuums up nicely and easily - and leaves a fresh scent for the new owners - BUT it leaves a trail of footprints in your house and not everyone is going to carry baby powder to rob your home. Double check all your locks - video tape as you go. You can also use flour if you don't have baby powder for the kitchen floors....be careful because it can be slippery on linoleum. It may be a good idea to get a sign (buy one if you have to) from an alarm company and for looks you can always get some thin wire and hang it IN the windows if they are ground level so that a thief would consider that hanging wire was actually an alarm wire. YEah - I've lived in a lot of crummy places with crummier neighbors.... As far as the dogs? I wouldn't push my luck - they would be in a kennel. ANd just for kicks - I would buy a tape recorder and go to the acutal Humane Society and record barking dogs ALL DANG DAY and then sit the recorder with an amp and great speakers with tweeters and WOOFERs in my yard on a table - then let it play woof woof woof all day long. But I'm not so nice some days. :surprised1: [/QUOTE]
