I seem to be a magnet for some winners over the past 6 years.
crazy neighbor #1: certified EMT and verifiable sociopath. enjoyed killing our animals in their pens, and ODing on sudafed and robitussin until he had to be hauled off by ambulance at least once a month.
his wife believed he just had a heart condition, nevermind the stack of 20 or so unopened sudafed boxes we actually saw on his table when we visited for some meeting. we also had a long stretch of oddly coincidental flat tires after we moved there. once we put up a trail camera to have some sort of evidence of his actions. he stole the camera. bear in mind we lived in the middle of nowhere and had very little traffic passing our drive on a given day, and none making the 1/4 mile from the road to the house. we also had inherited a small pack of "farm dogs" that had never lived indoors that lived on the property. they never let any stranger get by them. and not once did they alert to the neighbor because he was friendly to them and lived there.
his winning move: while our whole family was 200 yards away working on an animal pen, he snuck into our home, put our cat in our clothes dryer and ran it until the cat was well and truly done, then threw it in the back for our children to find.
crazy neighbor #2: a former member of a "church" that was just a mini cult teaching very non christian things, who himself became the leader of a church in the same location when the other was run off. he had an interesting past as a thief, was close friends with the owners of the property from which our group was renting. ( a church supported ministry. the whole story takes too long but can be best described as being victimized by a running real estate scam.) he became the property manager and promptly disregarded every point of the agreement he was there under.
his winning move: he was quite vocal about not liking dogs, even though his wife had one and he was fully aware of the 4 "farm dogs" as well as our dogs that ran with them (learning to dog...)
well, one day he shoots our dog saying that it was attacking his daughter. the same daughter that was nowhere in the area and who had been playing with said dog for the entire previous week.
while I collected the dog to take away he hovered over me, yelling at the top of his lungs and still holding the gun.
crazy neighbor #3: current neighbor. previous guest of a federal penitentiary for 12 years. his Curriculum Vitae consists of: manufacture of Meth, distribution of Meth, possession of meth, and many flavors of assault. this neighbor also seems to have a strong dislike of animals. not all though. not the wild critters that cross his plot from time to time. no, he hates ours in particular and has a zero tolerance policy regarding it. no matter that every time he had to come and inform us of the furry interloper, we promptly corrected the situation and did our best to prevent it in the future. however, since they were all rescue dogs and changed out regularly as we shipped them off to be rehomed, we had a continuous stream of new contestants in the four legged escape room game. we have experienced two cats dying suspiciously shortly after he moved in (an entirely different location now than the previous two) but oddly enough after having heated argument across the fence line where it is posted no tresspassing we are once again experiencing an odd surge of flat tires over a short period of time with none in the year plus since we have been there.
so, what does anyone have to share? I need something to take my mind off my own crazy neighbors.
