UPDATE ... ALL SEEMS TO BE NONSENSE ... I was able to reach out to several friendly neighbors.

It seems that one person posted a video of a black four door car going slowly through the lane at around 3 AM.

The author (private fb page) felt that the car was casing the lane because it went though three times .. driving slowly. No one left the car and no one reported anything missing.

*It could be someone looking for a lost pet or a place to pee as it's been known to happen.

**I think that the neighborhood dickwad a.k.a. The Liar is using this to urge his g/f to allow him to live with her full time so that he can give up having a separate apartment. (I won't go into this but they talk loudly when they are outside .. no secrets)

***Three or four years ago, they (we were excluded .. lol) were having open lane way parties as Covid restrictions were easing up. They didn't follow guidelines and someone (not us) reported them. This could've been people who were at their parties. They charged people around twenty bucks a piece but we weren't going to pay forty bucks to sit behind our garage or on our deck to listen to music that we don't like.

****Someone might've been lost or looking for a friend's house and because of parking restrictions in our area, were told to park behind their home.

Tempest in a teapot .. thanks for allowing me to vent and for some great advice along the way, it is appreciated.

Background When my husband first moved into a our home, he was single and rarely at home until he met me and now we've been married for nineteen years.

This "community" is a small "fill in" where a factory used to stand. eleven semi attached units, one stand alone unit and four attached "townhouse" units built around a lane near a commuter rail station.

There is also several low income "co-op" housing units, a small terrace of eight houses that were originally built to house rail road workers .. some businesses, etc. These are NOT on the lane but across the street and in the general "hood".

The years when my husband wasn't around .. many neighbors took advantage, piled snow against the garage, etc. My husband has an explosive temper, so he had me handle things with neighbors .. this backfired as they blamed me .. "because it was okay for them to do all these things for six years until I showed up."

We've had a lot of property damage, theft and slander from these people and people who moved in after them.

All that I want from anyone is kindness, to be able to say "Hello" .. chat about weather .. chat about sports, gardens, etc. and if there is a connection that can develop on another level, so be it but basically, all we ask is for people NOT to steal from us, damage our property, toss trash onto our property and it would be nice if they didn't slander us. The slander as the other things are documented but have no "real" effect on our lives.

The current issue Two neighbors have been talking outside while I'm on my front porch. Both men seem worried about "crime in the lane" and about their cars and back sliding doors being smashed in.

Since, one is openly hostile and lives with a neighbor woman and the other isn't friendly, it's not cool to ask. Most of the "nice" neighbors have moved or there are new people who don't even say "Hello".

I've checked crime reports but don't see anything.

I've been excluded from their "secret" private fb group.

We have great security but it would be nice to know if there is an issue but we are surrounded by NFH.

Should I Call the non emergency number and speak to a community police officer?

Or should I seek out a friendly neighbor as there are a handful that I can trust.

While we have security, I would like to know what we're dealing with behind our house.

I also don't know if these a holes are saying these things to "set us up" or upset us for no reason.

Is there a better sub to post this question?

I an not going to call the police but was considering calling the community cops to see if there was a prowler in the area but will first ask a few of the very few friendly neighbors.

It was a lovely Summer's eve and the cat & I were sitting on our front porch enjoying the weather, especially the breeze.

Since it was Friday, we knew that the Liar, The B*tch & the Weirdo would be loud and drinking on the East (attached) of us. I can pretty much block them out and our security system documents all the inane, racist and remarks about my religion.

The Liar was going on about the woman on the West of us who is ugly inside and out as is her partner and their son ... the kids nicknamed him "The Zombie". I've written about this before and the "antics" of the entire NFH crew is well documented.

It seems that the Liar lent the female Zombie "HIS" handheld vacuum in the morning and it was now nine hours later and "she still hasn't returned the vacuum." He was ranting ... the B*tch attempted to calm him down multiple times the rant would start about HIS vacuum.

Oh my, it was finally returned almost twelve hours after it was borrowed. He was polite to the Zombie's face but continued to rant about her.

The usual drinking, slander, mean comments about everyone ensued until it broke up a bit before nine. The only "good" thing about their drinking/slander/inane remark sessions is that they don't go beyond quiet time.

As it broke up, the cat and I were still sitting on our porch when the female Zombie's brother (who is viisting) walked by my house, stopped and spit into my garden. WHAT A FUCKING PIG.

I didn't say anything, it's on video and just rude.

Just another vent to clear them out of my head as once I post here and on another platform or two ... it's gone out of my head .. I guess that I just like to share the NFH experience.

***Of course, I do NOT call the cops on all the petty things that they do/say but do document so when the time comes ... if will be a flood of evidence.

It's getting hot and I've been clearing out all the ground cover from our gardens by hand as not to hurt any of the newly returning plants.

There are/were lots of leaves from the tree next door that is never trimmed but leaves are nature and are duly dealt with, no problem.

Betty B*tch has been on her front porch fighting with The Liar who passes as her male companion for days. I don't want or need to hear them BUT I will never allow anyone to drive me off my porch where I saw my first butterfly of the season and a pair of Cardinals this morning.

Betty went up to her balcony and instead of sweeping and placing the leaves from HER tree in a bag and bringing them down. She was sweeping (yes there are videos from three angles) them onto our front garden that was at least 85 percent free of leaves.

I was sitting on my front porch listening to the noise and watching her sweep the leaves to our garden. Two other neighbors saw her and I am thankful of phones having cameras.

I'm not looking for petty revenge and will not even consider calling the cops. I know that they stalk me online .. just needed to vent.

P.S. The NFH on the other side, reported us to the City because she saw a couple of pumpkins that I was mulching on our front garden. I called the City and reported her as she works for the City and told me that she was using City/Govt resources to stalk me but she didn't and doesn't know anything about me but she was screaming insane things.

The woman at the City that I spoke to told me to hide the pumpkins for a week and make sure that when I went out, that I covered them well. They broke down in about two weeks.

I just want people to be polite and let me know if there is an issue and I will work with them and for them not to break things, if they to replace them, to stop stealing, etc.

Let's call this NFH, Troll as she looks like one and behaves like one too.

Long story short as possible ... Troll "found" 311 and would call on everything. Once she called me that I had to come over as she just got off the phone with the City because there was trash and toys all over her parking pad.

She told me that told the City that she had cancer and two hip replacements and demanded that they come and then she told me (I was preparing dinner for my husband and myself) that I HAD to come over.

I went over and there was ONE potato chip bag and one small shovel on her parking pad. She's never driven and her very occasional guests would use it maybe once a month.

I tossed the bag in her bin and placed the toy where it could be seen off her property and then told her to call the City NOT to come as there wasn't an issue.

She freaked out on my about "toys in the lane way" .. I told her that since she didn't drive, it wasn't an issue and to leave it alone.

Well the City did come and saw that another neighbor had a car with four flat tires that hasn't been moved for three or four years. I didn't care as the car was on the Sh*t Stirrer's packing pad and had no effect on me but UNFORTUNATELY he was given a warning by the City because of Troll.

He went around the hood ... blaming me. I have no love for the Sh*t Stirrer but don't care about what is parked behind his or anyone's house as long as they don't block our garage or if someone decides to toss garbage on our property.

Troll, when told that I was being blamed for her calls to 311, thought that it was funny and refused to tell the Sh*t Stirrer that she made the calls but NOT about him. I blocked her out of my life.

A couple of years go by and she's now been taken to the hospital and when she's released, she'll go into long term care. This will be an huge relief to her nearby neighbors. I blocked her out so it's not an issue for me.

THIS IS THE KARMA ... Her son in law is now doing renovations on her home but HE didn't get any permits and the nearby neighbors have reported him to the City.

I feel sorry for her as her kids spell MOM as ATM but she allowed me to be blamed and cursed and slandered because of her actions.

End of vent.

Basically ... I just need to vent. I'm sitting on my front porch enjoying the sunshine and the NFH on the West a.k.a. Kevin Zombie comes out of his house and walks past our house STARING at me and our garden which is baring starting to grow.

Kevin is six foot seven inches of ugliness, including bug eyes.

I am a five foot six inch woman.

He's threaten to "Jeep me" in the past which we think means "kill" .. He's swung someone's thrown out toilet in our garden (we have an excellent security system and videos of everything that he, Karen and Zombie Jr. have done), telling other NFH that "he can do whatever he wants because we have no friends."

I've written about Kevin & Karen Zombie the uglies before, they both creep me and other neighbors out. The staring at me and the front garden this morning (he's weed whacked our back garden, stolen property from us including signage, blackberry vines, etc.) was beyond creepy.

I so want to give him the finger when he stares at me, our house or garden but I'm afraid that it will set him off.

I know that we have video after video of his staring and audio of his mouthing off to other NFH .. we have audios of anything that can be heard on our property which is legal even without having his threats on record with L.E.

I just needed to vent and maybe I'll work up the courage to give him the finger the next time that he stares but that's more than likely what he wants so I'm just venting him out of my head.

Venting works for me. No comments necessary ..Thanks to Reddit for allowing venting.

Update .. Thanks for the replies. I just needed to vent and cleanse my thoughts. Stay well everyone.

This is a bit of karma in my eyes. An a-hole neighbor a.k.a. Squirrel Man lives in a terraced/attached/row house in a semi urban area near a train station. Our street is one way, narrow with parking on my (the North) side of the street.

My home and the others on the North side are mainly semis.

He pays for street parking which he feels entitles him to a spot all the time. He complains about anyone who doesn't live on his side of the block that parks in the street.

Neighbors (on our side have parking pads for one car in the back on a lane. Sometimes when people on our side are expecting company, they park their car on the street and allow their company to park on their parking pad. This upsets the Squirrel Man because it's taking his spot away from him.

People parking to go to the vet, restaurant or any business upsets him.

Today, he illegally parked too close to the corner and lo and behold, got a ticket.

He was ranting to the guy next door to him (his wife hates that neighbor and his wife most of all) and Squirrel man was once again ranting about people that he doesn't know parking on "his" street.

Squirrel man doesn't own the street and should rent a spot as there is garage parking for rent.

He is "off" in many ways and placed a libelous note in our mailbox in an attempted scam of an elderly neighbor.

Sorry for yet another post about parking drama but since Squirrel/Libel Man is such an a hole, his reaction to a parking ticket and the ranting seems like a bit of karma.
