Crazy neighbor, shared driveway woes
I moved into my beautiful home in January of 2025, it’s in a historic neighborhood and the only draw back was a shared driveway. I have plenty of parking space and a garage and large yard so I had no concerns and get along with everyone so I didn’t see it as a show stopper. Fast forward to May 2026 and I’ve had nothing but issues with this neighbor. I’ve learned from getting to know my surrounding neighbors there was constant drama with her and the previous owners. Her behavior initially was fine but she she would come outside to sweet anytime there was any movement at my house. I have a large family and big community of friends and family and host birthdays etc in my home. She never leaves. I just would wave and ignore her - in March of this year my partner and I left for vacation and within an hour I have her on my doorbell camera going through my porch and mail. It was a Sunday. I reported her and when back I approached her about it and asked her not to trespass. Since then she has escalated her behavior to recording me constantly. She comes outside and stands there recording me, laughing. I tell her she is stalking and harassing me and she says well i have footage of her and now she has footage of me. A few things have happened around the house, a basement window was broken out along the shared driveway so installed a camera on my back garage to capture any activity - she has also made threats to me and my dog, 2 days after the threat my other neighbor caught her filming and throwing something into my back yard. 3 days later my dog became very sick, blind and passed away. I had an autopsy done and cause of death was Ivermectin poisoning - now I have an open case investing that’s since then she installed 7 cameras along the driveway including one facing into my bathroom and bedroom window. I’ve had the cops out over a dozen times and am building a case of harassment. I’m at a loss and feel like a prisoner in my home. She has stolen my peace and I’m devastated in grief at the loss of my beautiful dog.
