Re: Neighbor Harassment

More | Report Post

Are you sure you don't live by us?? We have neighbors that
sound exactly like yours'!
We can burn in our borough, but we don't anymore, we just
barbecue and cook on our firepit now and our neighbors
called the cops on us. The cops came we explained that we
cook on it, we actually were cooking on it when they arrived
and kind of laughed it off! These neighbors also put up
concrete barriers on the street and altered the water flow
and it's like a river in our backyard when we get a bad
storm and also get water in our basement. They were told to
move these several times, but refuse! Here it is a month
later, (because they were asked to move these), and the wife
started again about the fire pit. She claims she took
pictures of our backyard, and we have a fence up on their
side. Did she come into our yard..... I'm not sure, but I
believe that is an invasion of our privacy, it's our
property. Please let me know how you made out with your
siuation and any advise you can give would be very much
appreciated.
Thank you
