#6 has gone too far.
As you know, I have a zero lot line, so the side of my driveway is the property line. About a year ago I put a plastic chair in the driveway, about 2 feet from the property line, clearly on MY side of the line. He (#6) has consistently trespassed on my property, moving the chair into the middle of the driveway away from the edge of the driveway. And I always move it back.
On occasion his yard guys have walked up my driveway (blowing all the grass clippings and leaves onto my driveway as well), and have moved the chair so they have a clear line. I understood that (not the grass clippings in the driveway, but moving the chair so they could do yard work). I would have RATHER they put it back when done, but was OK with that.
Today I guess he felt like he pulled one over on me because he (or someone else) stole the chair completely.
What he (or whoever) doesn't realize, I am very stubborn. I WANT A CHAIR IN MY FRONT YARD, I WILL HAVE IT. I am going to Home Depot to buy a length of chain and I am going to CHAIN another chair in my front yard. No one is going to the time and trouble to remove the chain, which will go around my 30 foot ash tree. It will be a little inconvenience for the yard guy but the chair will be movable, just not RE movable.
Assholes.
If it wasn't #6 - and HE'S the one with a track record of tampering with the chair - it was one of the garbage pickers. If I put it out by the curb it is yours for the taking. If it is 20 feet up my driveway right next to the house it is NOT. Jerks.
Definitely going to Home Depot tomorrow. It really lowers my estimation of the neighborhood.
The only reason they didn't take the chair on the porch probably because I had Ron's name written on the fabric with permanent marker.

Over dramatic much? Sheesh get a grip! LOL
I don't like people who TRESPASS and STEAL. I NEVER go on his property, would never DREAM of touching his stuff, much less stealing it.
Yet he feels entitled to come over whenever he wants, peep in my windows, take my driveway, etc.. doesn't do this with any of the other neighbors according to his kids... I don't know why he thinks he has "rights" here, we have owned the home for 16 years now. I can only assume he helped with the flip back in 2003 and figures that entitles him.
That was the PREVIOUS owner.
How would you feel if someone came on your property and constantly moved things around, then stole an item you needed? One that cost over $20 plus getting a truck to bring it to the house (not easy!). You wouldn't like it one bit.
You have zero proof it was him just like zero proof his kids stoned Cleo lol
He's the only one with a track record of tampering with the chair.
You and that stupid chair has always been a joke.
How does he have a track record exactly? Did you SEE him move the chair before?
Hahaha I'm sorry Heather but a chair chained to the tree is really a hilarious visual. Calm down girl.
I'm not going to live in some ghetto slum where I'm not "allowed" a chair in my yard. F#ck that, I'm chaining it to the tree. I will surrender if the HOA objects but I don't plan to have an obvious chain, just enough to foil someone throwing it in a pickup truck. The stolen chair was a pretty good size so it must have been a pickup. Which #6 has.
When the chair was moved it was always away from "his" property line. So I would bet money it is him. He had a party tonight, he probably got rid of the chair to "class the place up" for his friends.
Speaking of classing the place up...I'm sure the HOA will be delighted that you are chaining a chair to a tree in your front yard.
I would think it was weird if my neighbor kept a chair so close to the property line...it's territorial and childish. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Did you take your meds today? Serious question. I understand being angry about stolen property. But you are flipping out.
You never saw him do it then, so you literally have no proof it was him. Once again you are assuming something with no evidence. Him having a pickup and his property line being close to the chair are not proof. What is the detail you are leaving out?
Why not just put the chair in the garage when you aren't using it? Isn't that better than just leaving it outside all the time? I am sure you don't sit in it even three times a week.
This is a guy who came over, years ago, TOLD me he was TAKING MY DRIVEWAY. Didn't ask, TOLD. Then got a massive attitude when I said I needed the driveway for the MAN IN THE WHEELCHAIR. HUGE, UGLY ATTITUDE, FREAKING TANTRUM ON MY PORCH. Must be fun to be HIS wife.
So he comes over and feels entitled to use my property. This I know. Once, many years ago, I had a broken pipe. I was very upset, this was early on in my tenure here. I went over almost in tears and asked him to help cut it off. He came over, did, and then spent a good 10 minutes peeping in my windows for no discernable reason. I told him it was an outside leak, several times, but he kept doing it.
When I had the problem back in Dec I did not contact him again. I contacted another neighbor instead.
He is the most likely to do something like this, no one else gives a crap. And it is my property, if I want to put a chair in MY driveway and it does not impede his use of the property he has no say in it.
But he had a party last night, my guess would be he got rid of the chair to "class it up" before his friends came over.
1. We don't have room in the garage for an adironack chair and 2. I shouldn't have to drag it in and out because HE, or someone else, is a butthead.
Growing up I had a massive problem with space invaders who would come in my room and steal my things. One time they stole all my clothes except for a half dozen nasty polo shirts and 2 pair jeans, to "teach me a lesson about wearing the hand me downs I was given". Books torn up, diary stolen, etc. So when someone comes in my territory I get upset.
It was interesting when the house was robbed Ron was very outraged and I was not. I just washed all the underwear, which had been gone through, in very hot water on SOAK. Ron had never had something like this happen and I had, a lot.
If you are so sure he stole your chair please cal the cops.
Why wouldn't you have room in your garage for an Adirondack chair? You have nothing in your garage. Plus how often do you sit in the chair outside that you need to waste money on another one. They have plastic Adirondack chairs that are lightweight and cheaper than wood. Most people don't leave lawn furniture in their front yard. You have a backyard where you can safely keep your furniture and sit out back there. Why sit in the front yard?
1. I already have a huge rack, toilet chair, shower bench, monster vanity, many gallons of paint, etc. out in the garage.
2. I have to wait on rides, unlike you, I do not go out and get in a car every day unless I hired it. Even then I have to wait for it to arrive. It would be nice to have a place to sit. Sometimes Ron and I spend half an hour waiting on our ride, out front. I really enjoyed the chair for that BUT an update I only have one chair in the backyard, not two as I thought, so I will have to buy another chair for out front (I'm thinking Jack for that) and get the chain then.
I don't have proof which is the same reason I couldn't sic them on the children for Cleo's abuse. And it is a $20 item, no one is going to take that seriously.
It is just damned rude and presumptious to take my chair - I believe because he was about to have a party and wanted to "class it up".
So all this rage and fury you hold for your neighbor happened years ago. And, we all know how you misinterpret situations and interactions with people. I have a hard time believing a neighbor would just come over and tell you he's taking over your driveway. If it is true that's when you complain to the HOA or call the police. Then the man helps you turn off the water, and you say while there he looked in your window, big deal! To hear you tell it he makes a habit of looking in your windows now.
You have a chair on your porch, why can't you sit there to wait for rides? You keep that chair in the driveway to irritate your neighbor.
You no longer need the shower bench and vanity will be in bathroom in a week
You can order a chair online and get it delivered a heck of a lot cheaper than paying someone 40 bucks
Walmart will have plastic Adirondack chairs in a few weeks. Order online and get it delivered with your other online order for free shipping
He turned off the water back in 2011, he spent QUITE some time peeping in all my windows, going around back to look in each room. It stuck in my head as being very rude and inappropriate.
Some years later he came over and said he was taking the driveway. He presented it as a fait accommpli, he needed more parking, so he would take mine. He was SHOCKED when I objected, then he tried to wheedle, then he had the tantrum. I found it very amusing he tried to bargain and say he would cut my lawn if I 'let" him. He never even takes care of his own yard and he was only referring to the front yard, which is tiny. If I'm going to give up my entire parking I am going to charge cash money for it. But I am not stupid and from what I read online if I let him take my driveway it would become his property. And, like I told him, we need it for our own rides. We load/unload in the driveway.
Eventually he gave up his 13 passenger van 'school bus" service he was running and he has enough parking now. I do find it funny the people in #8 regularly take his street parking. So he knows what it feels like.
I will likely have another chair delivered after I get paid.
Why won't you get rid of the shower chair? You don't need it for ron he cannot sit and get a proper bath. That would be too easy. Better he tries to sit in the tub than transfer from the wheel chair to the shower chair.
I'm not willing to give up on the shower chair just yet. I have used it a few times myself, as well. It is very nice for a migraine or flu.
I'm not buying the faux outrage. it's too scary to address Ron's abuse head on, so you constantly minimize, downplay and whitewash it. then all this fury about the chair, the neighbor and the "track record" of "tampering" with it. your self-righteous rage is pretty childish, you can speculate but you have no proof. I know it must be flattering to think of yourself as an intractable force to be reckoned with,but if that were true, the actual bad guy in this situation - Ron - wouldn't have offered to let the plumber sleep with you. Are you responsible for what comes out of that drunken freakshow's mouth? No. But did Ron experience any consequences as a result? Of course not. And meanwhile, "#6" is your enemy. Riiiight.
You have enough to worry about in the present why on earth to you hang on to things that happened so many years ago? Every time you bring these things up it's like they happened last week but it happened nine years ago! Who knows who took your stupid chair, it doesn't belong in the driveway in the first place. If I had a neighbor that played these dumb games over a chair I would think it was kinda weird. Then if they chained the chair to a tree it would be like whoa what is wrong with this person? You're acting like a child that you always complain about.
"Sometimes Ron and I spend half an hour waiting on our ride, out front." Somehow I doubt Ron waits outside for the ride because I recall you commenting plenty of times that he waits until the exact minute to go outside for the paratransit because he can and does it intentionally.
If the ride is late we go out and wait sometimes, or did. He has actually gotten a little better about leaving on time.
