Story 1: For some, especially those living on a tight budget, the terms "only" and "$40.00" are not compatible and don't belong in the same sentence. The father of the neighbor kids should be ashamed to have raised children who behave that way.
Totally. If you've seen _Parking Wars_ on the A&E channel you can bet your bottom Washington that people will blow their stacks over double digit dollabucks.
Just because some people have it worse doesn't mean other people don't have it bad. No one wins when you play that game. It also matters on how old this story is. In 2024, $40 will get you a 9" figure with "lights and sounds" at Walmart.
Story 1. I would have called the cops right there in front of the dad and reported the theft and destruction of property. Those two kids are gonna piss off the wrong person when they get older and end up with a criminal record and possibly in prison
I ran a daycare for 18 years, and that lady is a woman after my own heart. There's ALWAYS a way to fix bad behavior if you have the will to do it. Bravo for Ironman being as good as NEW.
Brat One and Two are gonna end up being in jail or in a hospital for messing with the wrong people, while Daddy Fearsome's gonna see the wrong end of a fist by the wrong people he's being a douchebag to. Karma will get those family back one day.
@@MostrandomM_toexisttodayyou plonkers have to insert your nonsense into everything to the point of it being complete non sequiturs and then wonder why no one takes you seriously LOL
I had a neighbor that told me my house was built on the property line and my chimney hung over in her air space. She ran got her mgmt papers and shoved them in my face (she almost got punched). I laughed at her and said that isn't a survey. Before I put a fence up I had the my property surveyed, they found all the original pins too. When she came home from work you should've seen her head spin.
My parents’ psycho neighbor tried to stop my parents from selling their house. She harassed the real estate agent, first telling her that SHE didn’t give them permission to sell (wtf?). Then she said their shed was on her property and they had to give it to her(it was 60 feet from the property line. The agent had a survey done. $500 later, survey is done and the crazy neighbor had to move her fence, her stick-built shed(had to be dismantled and concrete removed), AND my petty dad called the farmer that owned the field behind her and he reclaimed 40 feet of crop land 😅😂. She pissed off the new owner and he built a 6ft privacy fence(she didn’t “allow” those)
Story 1. After getting paid for the daycare, the nice lady should tell the ED that his kids are no longer allowed at her daycare. And if he just dumps them and run, I'd call the cops for child abandonment.
@@MostrandomM_toexisttoday what does that have to do with the video or the comment? Thanks AI for not pushing it on tho. If Christians practiced what they preached, and weren't absolute a-holes, maybe people would actually join. While some aren't like that people are pushed away via horror stories of Christians being absolute jerks
Honestly, I disagree. They should keep going to that daycare, because it sounds like the person running it might do a lot better of a job at instilling values than the parent.
Story 3 - Wow… that was crazy. A Karen attacking an 11 year old boy for refusing to give HIS bike to her thieving daughter?! I hope that she stays locked up. I will say that I’m happy to hear that the daughter changed for the better and apologized to OP. Good for her.
I bet that the biological Mother was teaching her how to steal and she didn't really want to do it, but had no choice. Glad she was placed with a nicer family.
I met someone once whose Dad actually took him along with him while committing a burglery to "Teach" him how to access what homes to choose, how to get in and what to take. Dad did end up in jail a couple of times. KId had such a rough upbringing it's amazing he grew up sane.
You gotta give credit to the foster parents. They must have gave her some sense of moral and actual good parenting which I feel her bio mom seems to fail to do so.
Story 3: Imagine trying to bully a kickboxer, clearly seeing him beat up on a bag, and not thinking, “Oh, going on to their property and trying to bully them should go swimmingly.”
I had a 'neighbor' that tried stealing my children's basketball goal. He was dragging it into his truck as I was pulling into my driveway, as I was just getting off work (I was an armed security guard at the time). I asked him what he thought he was doing, and he actually had the audacity to tell me he was taking it because he never sees anyone using it when he drives down my street. I told him I had a long night so I wasn't dealing with his stupidity, and that he had 10secs to put my children's goal back where it was. (The next part I'm not particularly proud of) At that point he said "What are you gonna do, call the cops? I'll be gone by the time they get here." and I told him "No, I'm gonna call an ambulance and let them know there's a gunshot victim in my driveway" as I unholstered my firearm (I still had my service pistol on me). He very quickly put the goal back and sped off. I still called law enforcement, but I forgot to get a look at the license plate as I was tired from shift so they couldn't do much, but I still wanted the situation reported. Never saw him or his truck on my street again for the rest of the time I lived at that house. Guess he got the hint...
@@TheHighlanderGirl it was a bad day/night and I was just done by that point lol. It's not my proudest moment honestly, but at the same time you're not gonna take my children's belongings...
If you left it out, you deserve to lose it story: When I graduated high school, my aunt gave me a check for a 20.00 gift for graduating with honors. I stuck it in my billfold, but before I could cash it, I accidentally left the wallet in my pants when I washed my clothes, and the check basically dissolved. My folks called my aunt to let her know, since the check would not clear, and told her to not give me another one to teach me a lesson. I could have really used that 20.00. Cue about 5 years later. My dad had one of those huge bill folds that had a chain on it to attach to his belt loop. He would take payments on his route and many were in check form. He left it in his pocket, and mom didn't see it when she dumped the clothes in the washer. And all the checks were ruined. It was a nightmare to call all the people and get them to issue another check. Dad, who always put his pants in the clothes hamper, blamed mom, because she didn't check his pants before she put them in the washer. I don't know why he didn't call the people and let them know the checks wouldn't clear, but don't worry about issuing another one as he would pay for it, because he needed to learn a lesson. Really strange how that shoe fits on the other foot.. No?
Story number 1, after the kids looked at their father and said no the second time...cool, cops are called. No more problems here. But Thank the heavens for the daycare neighbor.
One of the biggest problems living in a senior community is that there is always more than one Karen/Kevin. In many cases, there are several of them. My sister and I moved into such a community. Please understand, we were given no prior indication life would be so filled up with a plethora of old-age busy-bodies, with nothing better to do, as everyone prior to our closing seemed so warm and welcoming. For months my sister and I had to contend with a barrage of annoying neighbors demanding one thing or another. "Your music is too loud!" But it was only 2 PM and not really that loud. "You need to cut your grass!" I just cut it two days ago... apparently it was still too long for their liking. "You need to park you car more to the right, (on my own driveway - not a shared driveway) that way I have more room on my side!" It was never ending to the point of an almost daily basis. I was once a high ranking military officer, who was associated with a specific group who were known to be involved with some very unpleasant things. As it turned out, one of the main people of the community, was also a military veteran. He discovered my prior military involvement when, by chance, we ran into each other at the local military hospital. So, at that point, all he knew was I was also prior military. Given I was at the VA hospital to have my eyes tested (annual test), my eyes would be dilated and the VA requested I have a driver for the day. As a result my sister was with me that day. Alone with the nearby busy-body within ear shot, my sister devised a plan to help put an end to the Karens and Kevins. Striking up a conversation with the person next to her, she began talking about some of the not so nice things I was asked to do in the military and some of the awards I had received. How much was true or fabricated, I do not know. The upside was the news got around the community fast. The downside was it merely slowed the nonsense, not eliminate it. But alas, a karen free life was fated to shine it's light on us. At the time, I was involved in a LDR and was often taking trips to the other side of the country. Another thing occurring at the time was the Christopher Dorner incident. As you will soon discover, his escape path took him right thru our neighborhood. A couple weeks after the VA, I went to visit my SO on the east coast. Two nights after I left, my sister called me to relay, "I don't think they will be bothering us ever again." Our home was located on a corner lot, the perfect location for police or military units to block all traffic in any direction. From what my sister told me. A group of military (state guard) and battle ready police parked at the corner and in front of our house. They piled out of their vehicles and the first thing they did was surround our house, before branching out further. My sister wasted no time in working up the narrative and even getting some of these heavily armed men involved. With the group now spread throughout the neighborhood, my sister stepped out of the house and right up to two of the men standing near one of the assault vehicles. She began having a conversation with these men - a police sgt and a Guard Lt. She eventually got around to telling them about the annoying people in the neighborhood. Their conversation continued for quite some time before the neighborhood busy-bodies felt safe enough to venture onto the scene. As the other men came back to the vehicles, they were told to, "keep everyone back," while my sister was allowed to remain with the two men. At some point during their conversations, the police sgt indicated, "It could be fun to mess with the old cronies and give them something to talk about for a while." As they all began to load back up into their vehicles, my sister said to them, "I'm sorry I wasted your time." The Lt yelled back, "No problem at all, ma'am. As long as are safe, is all that matters." No sooner had they left the area, the cronies began to dig information out of my sister. She simply said to them, "I heard a noise. So, I called my sister." As expected, the cronies were fully confused, "Called your sister?" My sister then said, "Oh, you all think my sister is retired military? No. She's only semi-retired. Where do you think she goes when she takes off for weeks at a time? She's in Washington. She's the associate director of the OSI. I could have called the police and maybe, in 20 minutes, I would have gotten a single patrol car. But one call to her, I had SWAT and the US military here in less than 10 minutes!" She effectively had used a search for a cop killer and used it to scare away over a dozen Karens and Kevins. Not one person in that community ever bothered us again.
Story 1 reminds me of one of my own experiences with a bratty neighbor's kid. When I was 6 or 7 years old, we lived next door to a bratty kid who also went to the same school as my brother and me. She and her mother seemed nice enough *at first* and bratty kid's mother even befriended my mom. I was the type of child who was willing to play with any kid in the vicinity, so I would play with all of the neighborhood children. Things were okay for a while until bratty kid's mom starting using my mom as an impromptu babysitter and we quickly learned that bratty kid had never been taught how to behave at another person's house. She kept going into my parents' room, which was a big no-no even to my brother and me (we could only go in if our parents were there) and ruined a lot of my mother's make up, which I had been taught to never touch. She also set fire to some paper napkins we had in the dining room for some reason once. Much to my mom's annoyance, bratty kid wasn't even fully toilet-trained and my mom was forced to clean up her messes. I later learned that bratty kid's mom was trying to force my mom to have no other friends besides her (my mom shot that down quick). And bratty kid was a LIAR. She would lie to her mother about me bullying her (when I had only ever been nice), that I cursed her out (keeping in mind that I was an extremely sheltered child of the 90s and the worst word I knew at the time was "poop-head") and called her things like b**ch, b**t**d, *ssh*le...etc. Bratty kid's mother confronted me and demanded to know why I called her said words and I was too terrified of a grown woman yelling at me to say anything and could only shake my head. When I asked my mother what those words meant, she got very angry and she limited contact to bratty kid and her mother after that. The breaking point came when bratty kid accused me of stealing her ratty old barbie doll. I had about a dozen barbie dolls, because my dad was away on work a lot in those days and felt bad that I didn't get to see much of him, so he compensated by buying me more toys and dolls than I needed. I loved each and every gift I received though and took very good care of my things, which bratty kid did not do with hers, her barbie doll had been through it, her hair was a tangled mess that had even been cut in places, she'd lost the shoes + accessories and the dress was dirty and tattered. So bratty kid's mom marched her bratty kid into my room to inspect my dolls, neatly lined up on a low shelf and she actually tried to grab one of them! I caught her wrist before she could touch it and quietly told her, "That's my doll." My own mother was in the room with me and confirmed it. Thankfully, neither of them put up a fight and left right away. Later that same day, bratty kid's mom called and gave a halfhearted apology saying they found the doll under the bed. I never played with her again and we moved to another house when I was 8. I still heard stories about her since we went to the same school (and she was my brother's classmate) and she did this to EVERYONE, she would befriend someone who didn't know anything about her, things would be okay for a while until the bad behavior and lies started happening, there would be an incident (frequently involving accusation of theft or actual theft with the bratty kid being exposed as the thief) until everyone knew about her and refused to have anything to do with her anymore. The craziest story was her inviting a girl over from school, only for her (bratty kid) to start trashing her *own* room, while the other girl just stared in disbelief and quickly noped out of there - calling her mother to pick her up. Bratty kid then accused the girl she invited over of having trashed the room (ripping pictures and posters off the wall, destroying them, smearing paint and plasticine clay into the carpets, knocking things off of shelves, breaking the bed...etc.). She even tried ruining that girl's reputation at school, but it didn't work since that girl was actually nice, while bratty kid had proven herself to be a liar and had pulled similar stunts in the past. So when nice girl told her side of the story, we knew who to believe.
@@wcookiv Oh please, acting like you'd be the big man in the situation are we? Anyone woulda come up with some petty revenge I can promise ya that. It's called justice. It's not right, it's not wrong, it's simple justice.
@@tsukishiamaterchicuddlebun4186 "Anybody else would do the same thing" is one of those things shitty people say to pretend like they're not shitty for doing shitty things. It falls apart as soon as they meet someone who isn't that shitty, but then it inevitably turns into accusations of being 'holier than thou.'
All of these neighbors annoy me, especially when they decide to harm children. Very few things are sacred to me, but children are second only to family on that list.
I keep hearing stories about neighbors doing things like this, paying a fencer to tear down an old fence and put up a new one in a different location, or cutting down trees, paying to have a house painted that wasn't theirs, demolishing a pool. Don't these workers ever verify the addresses of the people paying them and the property ownership and property lines? When I was a child my parents had a fence put in and the fencing company insisted on seeing the deed, the city documents with the property lines(platt book I think it's called), and obviously had to know who was paying them before they got started because these projects aren't cheap. So why are so many people able to hire workers that don't verify any of these things? If I was hired to do work on a property that the payee lived adjacent to, especially if they were having me remove or destroy something, a quick call to the city or county would verify whether or not they owned the property or not. It's illegal for the neighbors to pay someone to destroy someone else's property. The person who does this is likely to be charged for property was damaged, and also for defrauding the company or person they lied to and hired to do the damage. The company or worker will likely be charged or held liable due to their own negligence and lack of due diligence in accepting money or a contract to work on a property without verifying who the owner of that property is. In some places it is also a seperate crime to move, damage, destroy, or remove property boundary markers in a way that makes the boundary look to be in a different place or not there at all.
Story number 3: that psycho Karen who grabbed the 11 year old is lucky she didn't get hospitalized. Op's father could have seriously messed her up, and there wouldn't have been a court in the land that would have convicted him.
Story 3: Most likely the bike thief was told by her mother that if she wanted a (new) bike that she had to go out and steal one. If mom lost custody, there's more to the story.
Story one.... Neighbor Dad was a total flaming AH, and his kids were thieving brats. I hope Neighbor Dad is proud in later years when those kids wind up in prison. 😡 Story two..... Another danged thief! She is just PO'd she got caught. 😮 Last story.... I kindov pity poor Greg. 😅
Story 1: Neighbour's kids are horrible. Glad OP's son doesn't play with them any more. Story 2: The thieving Karen didn't like it when she was (indirectly) outed as a thief. Story 3: Another Karen who doesn't like it when her daughter is outed as a thief. Good on the daughter for apologizing to OP later. Story 4: OP needs to get a restraining order against James & Rose. They're clearly delusional. Story 5: This is the perfect example of revenge being a dish best eaten cold. Story 6: That was a creative way of getting Karen neigbour to leave.
Did OP get the stolen money back, or was Karen just there to yell at them for being "rude" because they went to FB to ask for information? Because if the money wasn't returned, OP could (and probably should) have posted video of the woman gettting out of her car, running onto the driveway, taking the money, jumping back into her car, and speeding off, then posted a picture of her house (which is public information and not protected by privacy laws) and honestly stated that, by her own logic, anything on her driveway that could be easily grabbed is fair game. See a bicycle on the driveway? Fair game. See the car unlocked, with key in the ignition? Fair game. See groceries in the trunk that she's in the process of bringing into her house, one trip at a time? Grab some for yourself, she doesn't mind! And on down the list, and if she jumps on the post to complain, rake her across the coals, by refusing to remove the post until she gives a public apology for being a thief, admits she's a thief, and returns the money SHE STOLE. If she refuses to do so, just keep repeating to her "hey, you thought it was okay when you did it, and yelled that it was 'rude' when someone complained, so live by your own standards! It's either theft or it isn't. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!"
Story 3: Hey, at least the one teen is with better people, but wow that woman's BS was pretty terrible. I bet you she pull a "Rules for thee, not for me" if it happened to her
One afternoon I saw a group of men in my backyard. I want outside and one told me they were moving a shed into the new neighbor's yard. Through my yard? I asked. It won't hurt anything they said. Would it occur to you to ask first? They stormed off. I later saw them moving the prefab shed OVER the neighbor's front fence and gate. I went over there and said all they had to do was ask. I would have said yes. That was one of the better interactions with those neighbors.
When I was 8, I’m on my late 30s now, my 5 year old neighbor stole a sheet of stickers off my desk. I got the stickers for getting a gold star on a test. When I found out and told his parents they spanked him. His parents offered to buy me another sheet but it wouldn’t be the same. Fast forward 6 months later the kid steals a toy car from another kid during show and tell. His parents gave him a sleeping bag and a duffle bag full of his clothes and “abandoned” him at the park for 15 minutes. They told him thieves are not allowed in their house. I moved soon after so I don’t know if the kid ever stole again. At least his parents can say they tried to straighten him out. If the kids don’t change, they are either looking at jail or the morgue real soon.
Story 1. I don't think people realize how much $40 is for a low income family. You can get a few meals out of that, like two or three pots of spaghetti, which can last up to a week if you pair it with other stuff.
They'll likely get in trouble with the law, and their parents will make faux tears to the judge about how their children are angels, not capable of doing such horrible things, etc.
Daaaang. That first story. Due to a head injury, I have a limited verbal filter, and the moment I watched his daughter break that toy and then they laughed together...I would have immediately called them all trashy people and probably triggered a fight. Back in the day, I would have done what OP did. Now, it's harder to hold my tongue, especially if my child were involved. Hurt my child, you're hurting me. He can't fight back but I can.
That last story reminded me of when my former boyfriend and I were sharing a house with some friends. Since they had a child and another onmthe way, we decided they would live upstairs and we would live downstairs. Perfect for us since where we live, AC is not common but gas furnaces are. This meant that we were cool in the summer. That first winter was an eye-opener as the mom could not understand that you find a comfortable temperature, set it and walk away. She was always turning it up and down. My boyfriend fixed the problem as my birthday present in early December. He went to the hardware store, bought a new thermostat and installed it where it wouldn't be seen while laundry was being done. It's been many years but it remains in my top 5 of gifts 😂😂😂
Story 1 - My mom would’ve gone nuclear on the dad if that had happened to me or my brother when we were that age. (Italian Mama Bear) And what an AH of a neighbor and father. Being proud that his kids thieving brats and that they also destroyed an expensive toy that wasn’t theirs. Hope he’s still proud in the future when they’re either in jail or 6 feet under.
That last one, you simpky turn the heat down to 55. It will get uncomfortably cold, but still warm enough to keep most of he house functioning. Any lower and you risk frozen pipes and confused refrigerators. (I know from living in a place without heat. Space heaters made it possible to live, but i couldn't just always have them on.
With the beetle story and not telling anyone, he may have just set himself up for plausible deniability. No officer, I don’t know anything about those beetles. It could have been anyone in the neighbourhood, or someone he annoyed at work.
Story 1 reminded me of when I was a kid and I lent a book to a friend. Went from brand new to nearly destroyed in a week. Some people are just ridiculously destructive.
The worst neighbours we probably had was a couple where we had to call the police on them a few times. The husband was also a member of the Met police (not surprised, tbh). He came back home one night around 1am after we had called the police on them, and he made the motion of threatening to slit my mother's throat, apparently. So glad we don't have them around anymore.
Story 2. That is exactly how to many rich people get rich. They scamming and lying their way to money. My brother is exactly like that. Our Grand grand Mother (99 years old) gave him 2000€ as a wedding gift but he claimed she forgot to give him anything so he got 2000€ again. And when i told her this she said that she dont want's any fighting in the family.
The Japanese beetle revenge is positively evil, and I bet the neighbour really felt the loss of his roses! Wouldn't do it myself, as I'm a rose lover, but at least it wasn't permanently damaged.
Hey Fluff, Story #5. I live in a long-term rental. I live in Section 8 Housing; for those that don't know. Section 8 in the United States allows people with disabilities to live on their own at subsidized rent. While it's not always perfect; I've lived in my apartment for 11 years now. Some of my neighbors are interesting; this story is about one neighbor in particular. Her name is Diane, she lives in an apartment that has a total square footage of 628 square feet. The apartment is a one bedroom, one bathroom; Ideally designed for two adults. Diane is the stuff of legend at this point; the woman doesn't work full time but cares for a bedridden man. They both smoke like chimneys whether it be pot or cigarettes, they also have Diane's grandchildren over every day after school. The children aren't part of the lease; meaning that they have to be cleared by the landlord. Even the grandchildren smoke pot and they're as young as 14 years old. Honestly, I don't care, it's not my life they're ruining; it's their own. The reason why I'm complaining about Diane; she sells her medication in order to buy either pot or to pay her bills. I wish I could say that I have reported on Diane and her tenant Roger. But, the management knows all about Diane and her little scams; what we're all awaiting is for her to have her apartment inspected, because if she fails inspection? She and Roger will be evicted, most likely lose their Section 8 vouchers, and will have to pay market rent; in my area, market rent starts at $750 per month. I'm just waiting my time, to see Diane and Roger both screw themselves out of their housing! I know that some of your readers are wondering about getting revenge? As has been stated on Star Trek; the Klingon Proverb for revenge is a dish best served cold.
Last story: Heat rises! I lived in ancient dorm freshman year (this was the 80s and they had been built in the 1930s!). Winter came and we were roasting on the 3rd floor even though we kept our windows wide open and turned our radiators off. The guys on the ground floor had their radiators on full and were always freezing, all the heat just rose up. So even with the heat just turned down the basement likely still would have been much colder.
Story 1: That daycare neighbor lady was so kind to OP and her son, while being vicious to the AH father at the same time. I LOVE it!😀 Story 2: If this woman didn’t want to be caught on camera, then she should have stayed on her own property!😠 Story 3: Now we know how her kids turned out so badly😒 Story 4: I wish that I could bottle the audacity that this couple has😟 Story 5: I feel so sorry for that neighbor’s dog, having an owner like that😢
The Ironman story: I would have taken out my phone and called the cops the moment the kids refused to give the toy back. That would have sorted it out very quickly.
Story 2: Why not just be a good neighbor, give the money back and say I'm sorry? Ugh, people are so rude. Who raises these people? Disgusting. Goshl, I am so blessed to have amazing neighbors. Just saying.
Story 2 (the phone story at the end) - I don’t know about the laws in the United States or where the situation occurred but in Australia there is a law to cover you if someone (Karen) claims “finders keepers”. It’s Larceny by finding, or stealing by finding. I’m imagining the look on an entitled person’s face when this is explained to them (preferably by law enforcement). How by saying they found it and then kept it they are in fact admitting to a crime 😂
That's isn't a law in the US And I think that's a bad idea. Because what's to stop me from seeing that you have a wad of cash in your pocket and me claiming that was cash I lost? Then if my acting skills are better than your truth you'd have to give it to me or be arrested for stealing.
@@byronmccall1554 there absolutely is a law that u can't keep found money... It's considered theft, but if the person doesn't report it missing, or if a enough time passes, then u can keep it
@@byronmccall1554 “In someone’s pocket” is an entirely different situation than finding cash on the street or in someone’s private driveway. Very different indeed.
@@SecretSquirrelFun Well obviously I would claim that you found it on the ground and it was mine. And the fact that it made it into your pocket just means you're a thief because you stole it while I was trying to find my missing money that was on the ground. Now do you see the problem with that law
Ironman toy story: Fluff, when you don't have the extra $40 to replace it without sacrificing something else (been there), it's rough on the kid(s). Dropped money story: Time to post not just her picture but the entire video. but did give you your friend's money? Bike story: Fluff, what makes you think the EM was in her right mind? At least the foster parents were being a good influence on the girl. James and Rose story: I'd sue for the cost of a new, secure privacy fence (since they took yours down), locking gate(s), cameras with sound to monitor fence and gate(s) and plenty of no trespassing signs with James and Rose, this means YOU, to go around the outside the fence. Japanese beetles vs rose bushes story: More than one way to get even for bs. Hey, you offered to pay half of the vet bill just to be nice. He's the one that had a dog off leash and then escalated. Apartment story: Gee, there's a reason the rent was "surprisingly" affordable. Well done OP.
I live in an apartment complex with my mother and autistic younger brother. And after reading these stories about nightmare neighbors, I now understand why my mom always smears holy oil on the doors of vacant apartments in our building.
This is the daft thing about thieves caught red-handed; they will hardly ever exclaim "Fair do, sir, I dun a wrong'un" and hand it back. They double down and claim it was YOUR fault, for whatever reason they can come up with in 1/15th of a second.
Story #2 - Rich people aren't rich because they get more money than you, but rather because they spend less money than you. If that means that the spend YOUR money, then that's OK by them. Story #4 - Odds are that they're house flippers and looking for a way to make a few more bucks, by "improving" the property at the expense of their temporary neighbours.
Story 4: Can i just say how nice it is to read a story where the Op actually has a spine. Like there’s none of that “we we’re nice and gave in” BS. Naw well done Op
Yikes ... reminded me of a friend who had a karen neighbor and her 6 hells spawns ( yes she had 6 ) all of them had a bad rep for destroying decorations during holidays set fires ( one of them burned a church nativity scene and was caught ) and the mom ... she was the worst cause she attacked a child who was the sheriff's grand kid
Story 5. As someone who has roses that were my grandfather's if someone did that to me it would be on. Like good luck finding all the dead fish around your house.
Story 4 - I’m not gonna lie I was hoping that the neighbors were gonna call the Property inspectors to try to gain more of OP’s land only to find out that part of ‘their’ property is actually OP’s.
Story 1: I was about to get a little mad at the OP for turning down the new Iron Man toy. Like, neighbor lady went out of her way to buy it and you’re going to turn it down, let your kid go without, and the neighbor lady will have to go all the way back to the store to return it? Let the pride go.
I understand her reticence, if the nice neighbor replaced the toy, then the deadbeat dad was off the hook and what was to stop his goblins from stealing and breaking OP's kid's new toy...essentially the man was robbing two neighbors. Which is why when nice neighbor said loser dad was footing the bill through her child care fees, OP jumped on board. If caregiver replaces every damaged toy his brats destroy by charging him for it, he might get the picture and start disciplining them for their actions instead of bragging and laughing about them. Receiving charity is uncomfortable if necessary at times, but justice is priceless. OP could have called the police for theft and destruction of property, but likely it wouldn't have gotten anywhere beyond being a scare tactic. Nice neighbor's plan seems more effective.
I sure miss your tales!!! I very much enjoy listening to you! I hope all is well and you and yours. I really look forward to your stories. Just wanted to give you a shout out!
The person who replied to the stolen money reminds me of a guy I worked for in London, he owned a bar went into a wholesaler and whilst he was paying at the counter he left his new IPhone behind, half an hour later we went back, and saw the lady who ran another local Bar had picked it up from the CCTV, it was reported to the police as the recording showed him take the phone out take a call then put it down whilst he paid the bill in cash and walk away leaving the phone, and her come up ask something so the lady behind the counter had to turn away, she picked it up and put it in her purse, Police paid her a call but her Husband who was an ExCop spoke to them and the case even with the video evidence was dropped.....
Story 2... I would be greatly upset on it... and would not allow them to yell at me, for their theft from my property. As for the phone, as soon as they refused to return it, I would have gone "OK. I will just call the police." as I walk away, and call them saying they had my property and thought it would be a nice civil pickup of the property, but they were refusing to return it and needed some assistance.
We lived on an army post when my daughter was young. We bought her a new tricycle from the PX, and one day it disappeared. I saw it in a front yard a block away and went to get it. The mom ran out screaming, say THEY had just brought it for her daughter. MP' s showed up, and I flipped the trike over to show them my name and address etched into the metal under the seat. I could have pressed charges, but the look on everyone's faces was enough for me.😁
I've read this 3 or 4 times hoping there's somehow going to be more like mom having the gasping out of water look on her face as the MPs are looking at her etc
But even then, I bet the MPs had to report it, since it was a case of theft on a military base. And if that woman was the wife of a service member, her actions would have reflected poorly on him, meaning he could be denied promotions, be assigned cr*p duties, etc. That's something that far too many military spouses don't seem to understand, that their own misbehavior can hurt the career of the person who is actually in the military. I honestly hope that my newlywed brother doesn't have to deal with that, even though he's Army Reserve and doesn't live on a base. Fortunately, his wife seems to be a decent person (at least what little I've seen of her), so hopefully things will work out.
@@astrofan1993 Being a Reservist/Guardsman gives families more flexibility to be imperfect than AD. As long as the families stay off base, and don't cause civilian problems for the member, all is good. My kids are well informed and trained about expected behavior while on base since hubby and I are both Guard (I'm Air, he's Army).
oh, this reminded me of a scene in an old John Ringo novel, i think it was "gust front". a female soldier (a sniper) caught up with the nasty guy who had stolen her equipment and left her to die. she loudly accused him. an officer asked her and the guy, "what is the serial number on the sniper rifle?" the guy blurted out something like "what difference does that make?" but the woman recited the correct number from memory, then added, "AND my name is engraved on the sniper rifle just below the number." that was IT for the nasty guy.
Story 1: Nope...an immediate call to the police for Theft of Property & Destruction of Property. Demand full payment plus tax and fuel cost or be charged with those 2 crimes. Story 3: Choking a preteen child should have been considered Attempted Murder and she should have been charged for that. Glad that the girl got away from that Karen mother.
Story 1: The dad is teaching their kids that it's okay to be a spoiled brat and steal from others. OP was honestly a DOORMAT, but at least their neighbor got them a new toy. And I hope that those kids either get raised better or they'll end up as criminals. Story 2: Karen jut didn't want to admit that she spent the money and her "wanted for someone to report it missing" is just her lame excuse to make herself look like the victim. OP should move away FAST, he could be next on the thieving Karen's list. Story 3: Who does that to an 11 year old? I'll answer that: a freaking child-hater SOCIOPATH! Which the karen clearly was. The fact that the daughter (and possibly her siblings as well) had to be sent into foster care implies that the woman was a danger even to her OWN children. She probably forced them to steal the bike and was either abusive or extremely neglectful. I hope that Karen ROTS in prison. Story 4: James and Rose are clearly grown-up spoiled bullies who have never been told NO. OP should just make everyone in the neighborhood ignore them until they are forced to move away. Story 5: EXCELLENT revenge. The best part is that the neighbor will never know it was OP who did it. Story 6: GOD, that woman sure has issues. She needs to be locked up in a mental hospital since she's clearly NOT sane at all.
I don't see what the destroyers of plants and trees are so proud about. The beetles would spread all over the neighborhood and destroy everyone's roses.
Remember your driveway is a part of your curtelage. This simply means it is your access to the public street as your walkway from your front porch is to the sidewalk. Make no mistake that is still your property and you can trespass anyone who is on it. Just remember that the sidewalk isn't your property.
In 7th through 12th grade I was known as the curse lord, nothing lethal mind you. I continously cast the curse of misfortune that lasted 2 weeks. To those who physically bullied me. If I was the parent, I'd curse not only the father but the daughter too.
Sadly I know how the kid feels in story 1 when his toy broke, years ago I had a big wheel, older one but in good shape, one day my folks and me returnee to see the big wheel gone, this took place in a military housing in southern California so remember that for later. As I looked around I seen 3 others missing one belonging to a friend who I know just got it and was home sick. My dad goes looking for mine and finds it 3 blocks away smashed up. I seen it as he brought it back front wheel broken off, rear wheels all burnt up like it be dragged by a car. We later found out a family whos kids had been little terrors for a while took 5 of em from around our area we lived in and an older sibling with either a go cart or motorcycle towed em behind smashing up the big wheels. One got smashed under a car causing 300 dollars damages to tire and brake lines. The military housing later kicked out the family cause of the damages, we all got replacements thanks to the housing. The family also got sued for the damages to the car, and the dad got in trouble cause the car damaged was his superior car.
Thevruining of rge neighbor's roses was an unnecessary cruelty. Especially, as roses are so beautiful, and bring joy to people. I understand why, but I cannot find it in myself to approve!
story 2 - guilty conscience idiots always out themselves, even when no evidence has been shown. my local lake has a ban on air boats, but that didn't stop someone from taking theirs out on the lake anyway - and accidentally sunk it. nobody knew who's boat it was, and photos and an article about it were posted in the local paper. lo and behold.... the boat's owner called the newspaper to complain about us writing about it trying to say they did nothing wrong. our response was just, "ah - and what was your name again?"
Story 1. We ride at dawn! I am glad that at least one of OP’s neighbors is a good person! Story 2. Where Karen learns that actions have swift consequences in a security cam world. 😁 Story 3. That was one unhinged situation! I am glad that OP got their bike back, and odd as it may seem, glad that the girl was taken from a situation that could have led her to a life of hardship and suffering. Story 4. James and Rose should have bought a fixer-upper on a bigger property if they wanted more garden space. 😂 Story 5. Nature is great! So is moving in the shadows! 😈 Story 6. Smoking is gross, even more so when it’s involuntary. I am glad that OP found a solution.
My neighbor rented a very small yard machine and started plowing up the grass in his yard. Dad went over to remind him that four feet next to our place is ours (we live in a trailer park) or he would have dug up right to our wall and hoped we wouldn't notice 🙄
Money in the driveway: The woman who picked it up should have left a note in the door saying she spotted it in the dtiveway and picked ig up for safekeeping so it wouldn't blow away. She could have left her phone number and name, and said she would come by to return it the following day. Would thst have been hard to do, being a good neighbor?
Story 1: For some, especially those living on a tight budget, the terms "only" and "$40.00" are not compatible and don't belong in the same sentence. The father of the neighbor kids should be ashamed to have raised children who behave that way.
Totally. If you've seen _Parking Wars_ on the A&E channel you can bet your bottom Washington that people will blow their stacks over double digit dollabucks.

Just because some people have it worse doesn't mean other people don't have it bad. No one wins when you play that game. It also matters on how old this story is. In 2024, $40 will get you a 9" figure with "lights and sounds" at Walmart.
Story 1. I would have called the cops right there in front of the dad and reported the theft and destruction of property. Those two kids are gonna piss off the wrong person when they get older and end up with a criminal record and possibly in prison

I had a neighbor that told me my house was built on the property line and my chimney hung over in her air space. She ran got her mgmt papers and shoved them in my face (she almost got punched). I laughed at her and said that isn't a survey. Before I put a fence up I had the my property surveyed, they found all the original pins too. When she came home from work you should've seen her head spin.
Did she return to yell at you and claim you were stealing her land?
My parents’ psycho neighbor tried to stop my parents from selling their house. She harassed the real estate agent, first telling her that SHE didn’t give them permission to sell (wtf?). Then she said their shed was on her property and they had to give it to her(it was 60 feet from the property line. The agent had a survey done. $500 later, survey is done and the crazy neighbor had to move her fence, her stick-built shed(had to be dismantled and concrete removed), AND my petty dad called the farmer that owned the field behind her and he reclaimed 40 feet of crop land 😅😂. She pissed off the new owner and he built a 6ft privacy fence(she didn’t “allow” those)
Story 1. After getting paid for the daycare, the nice lady should tell the ED that his kids are no longer allowed at her daycare. And if he just dumps them and run, I'd call the cops for child abandonment.
No, just charge more for disorderly children fees. You can't raise your kids right, pay for their actions.

what does that have to do with the video or the comment? Thanks AI for not pushing it on tho. If Christians practiced what they preached, and weren't absolute a-holes, maybe people would actually join. While some aren't like that people are pushed away via horror stories of Christians being absolute jerks
Honestly, I disagree. They should keep going to that daycare, because it sounds like the person running it might do a lot better of a job at instilling values than the parent.
I thought ED stood for erectile dysfunction 😅
Story 3 - Wow… that was crazy. A Karen attacking an 11 year old boy for refusing to give HIS bike to her thieving daughter?! I hope that she stays locked up. I will say that I’m happy to hear that the daughter changed for the better and apologized to OP. Good for her.
I bet that the biological Mother was teaching her how to steal and she didn't really want to do it, but had no choice. Glad she was placed with a nicer family.
I met someone once whose Dad actually took him along with him while committing a burglery to "Teach" him how to access what homes to choose, how to get in and what to take. Dad did end up in jail a couple of times. KId had such a rough upbringing it's amazing he grew up sane.
My only question is is how does she get back up? Because I would not stop swinging until the dogs came home
You gotta give credit to the foster parents. They must have gave her some sense of moral and actual good parenting which I feel her bio mom seems to fail to do so.
Story 3: Imagine trying to bully a kickboxer, clearly seeing him beat up on a bag, and not thinking, “Oh, going on to their property and trying to bully them should go swimmingly.”
I had a 'neighbor' that tried stealing my children's basketball goal. He was dragging it into his truck as I was pulling into my driveway, as I was just getting off work (I was an armed security guard at the time). I asked him what he thought he was doing, and he actually had the audacity to tell me he was taking it because he never sees anyone using it when he drives down my street. I told him I had a long night so I wasn't dealing with his stupidity, and that he had 10secs to put my children's goal back where it was. (The next part I'm not particularly proud of) At that point he said "What are you gonna do, call the cops? I'll be gone by the time they get here." and I told him "No, I'm gonna call an ambulance and let them know there's a gunshot victim in my driveway" as I unholstered my firearm (I still had my service pistol on me). He very quickly put the goal back and sped off. I still called law enforcement, but I forgot to get a look at the license plate as I was tired from shift so they couldn't do much, but I still wanted the situation reported. Never saw him or his truck on my street again for the rest of the time I lived at that house. Guess he got the hint...
BOSS MAN!!!!
@@TheHighlanderGirl it was a bad day/night and I was just done by that point lol. It's not my proudest moment honestly, but at the same time you're not gonna take my children's belongings...

If you left it out, you deserve to lose it story: When I graduated high school, my aunt gave me a check for a 20.00 gift for graduating with honors. I stuck it in my billfold, but before I could cash it, I accidentally left the wallet in my pants when I washed my clothes, and the check basically dissolved. My folks called my aunt to let her know, since the check would not clear, and told her to not give me another one to teach me a lesson. I could have really used that 20.00. Cue about 5 years later. My dad had one of those huge bill folds that had a chain on it to attach to his belt loop. He would take payments on his route and many were in check form. He left it in his pocket, and mom didn't see it when she dumped the clothes in the washer. And all the checks were ruined. It was a nightmare to call all the people and get them to issue another check. Dad, who always put his pants in the clothes hamper, blamed mom, because she didn't check his pants before she put them in the washer. I don't know why he didn't call the people and let them know the checks wouldn't clear, but don't worry about issuing another one as he would pay for it, because he needed to learn a lesson. Really strange how that shoe fits on the other foot.. No?
Story number 1, after the kids looked at their father and said no the second time...cool, cops are called. No more problems here. But Thank the heavens for the daycare neighbor.
Still should've called the cops tho

One of the biggest problems living in a senior community is that there is always more than one Karen/Kevin. In many cases, there are several of them. My sister and I moved into such a community. Please understand, we were given no prior indication life would be so filled up with a plethora of old-age busy-bodies, with nothing better to do, as everyone prior to our closing seemed so warm and welcoming.
For months my sister and I had to contend with a barrage of annoying neighbors demanding one thing or another. "Your music is too loud!" But it was only 2 PM and not really that loud. "You need to cut your grass!" I just cut it two days ago... apparently it was still too long for their liking. "You need to park you car more to the right, (on my own driveway - not a shared driveway) that way I have more room on my side!" It was never ending to the point of an almost daily basis.
I was once a high ranking military officer, who was associated with a specific group who were known to be involved with some very unpleasant things. As it turned out, one of the main people of the community, was also a military veteran. He discovered my prior military involvement when, by chance, we ran into each other at the local military hospital. So, at that point, all he knew was I was also prior military.
Given I was at the VA hospital to have my eyes tested (annual test), my eyes would be dilated and the VA requested I have a driver for the day. As a result my sister was with me that day. Alone with the nearby busy-body within ear shot, my sister devised a plan to help put an end to the Karens and Kevins. Striking up a conversation with the person next to her, she began talking about some of the not so nice things I was asked to do in the military and some of the awards I had received. How much was true or fabricated, I do not know. The upside was the news got around the community fast. The downside was it merely slowed the nonsense, not eliminate it. But alas, a karen free life was fated to shine it's light on us.
At the time, I was involved in a LDR and was often taking trips to the other side of the country. Another thing occurring at the time was the Christopher Dorner incident. As you will soon discover, his escape path took him right thru our neighborhood. A couple weeks after the VA, I went to visit my SO on the east coast. Two nights after I left, my sister called me to relay, "I don't think they will be bothering us ever again."
Our home was located on a corner lot, the perfect location for police or military units to block all traffic in any direction. From what my sister told me. A group of military (state guard) and battle ready police parked at the corner and in front of our house. They piled out of their vehicles and the first thing they did was surround our house, before branching out further. My sister wasted no time in working up the narrative and even getting some of these heavily armed men involved.
With the group now spread throughout the neighborhood, my sister stepped out of the house and right up to two of the men standing near one of the assault vehicles. She began having a conversation with these men - a police sgt and a Guard Lt. She eventually got around to telling them about the annoying people in the neighborhood. Their conversation continued for quite some time before the neighborhood busy-bodies felt safe enough to venture onto the scene. As the other men came back to the vehicles, they were told to, "keep everyone back," while my sister was allowed to remain with the two men.
At some point during their conversations, the police sgt indicated, "It could be fun to mess with the old cronies and give them something to talk about for a while."
As they all began to load back up into their vehicles, my sister said to them, "I'm sorry I wasted your time." The Lt yelled back, "No problem at all, ma'am. As long as are safe, is all that matters."
No sooner had they left the area, the cronies began to dig information out of my sister. She simply said to them, "I heard a noise. So, I called my sister." As expected, the cronies were fully confused, "Called your sister?" My sister then said, "Oh, you all think my sister is retired military? No. She's only semi-retired. Where do you think she goes when she takes off for weeks at a time? She's in Washington. She's the associate director of the OSI. I could have called the police and maybe, in 20 minutes, I would have gotten a single patrol car. But one call to her, I had SWAT and the US military here in less than 10 minutes!"
She effectively had used a search for a cop killer and used it to scare away over a dozen Karens and Kevins. Not one person in that community ever bothered us again.
Great story! I like the way your sister takes care of business.
Your sister is brilliant! As a fellow veteran, with a not so ugly job, I wish I had a sister like her. If you, neighbors, can't be nice...GO AWAY!
BEST story I’ve read in ages!! Love this ! So smart !
Story 1 reminds me of one of my own experiences with a bratty neighbor's kid. When I was 6 or 7 years old, we lived next door to a bratty kid who also went to the same school as my brother and me. She and her mother seemed nice enough *at first* and bratty kid's mother even befriended my mom. I was the type of child who was willing to play with any kid in the vicinity, so I would play with all of the neighborhood children.
Things were okay for a while until bratty kid's mom starting using my mom as an impromptu babysitter and we quickly learned that bratty kid had never been taught how to behave at another person's house. She kept going into my parents' room, which was a big no-no even to my brother and me (we could only go in if our parents were there) and ruined a lot of my mother's make up, which I had been taught to never touch. She also set fire to some paper napkins we had in the dining room for some reason once. Much to my mom's annoyance, bratty kid wasn't even fully toilet-trained and my mom was forced to clean up her messes. I later learned that bratty kid's mom was trying to force my mom to have no other friends besides her (my mom shot that down quick).
And bratty kid was a LIAR. She would lie to her mother about me bullying her (when I had only ever been nice), that I cursed her out (keeping in mind that I was an extremely sheltered child of the 90s and the worst word I knew at the time was "poop-head") and called her things like b**ch, b**t**d, *ssh*le...etc. Bratty kid's mother confronted me and demanded to know why I called her said words and I was too terrified of a grown woman yelling at me to say anything and could only shake my head. When I asked my mother what those words meant, she got very angry and she limited contact to bratty kid and her mother after that. The breaking point came when bratty kid accused me of stealing her ratty old barbie doll. I had about a dozen barbie dolls, because my dad was away on work a lot in those days and felt bad that I didn't get to see much of him, so he compensated by buying me more toys and dolls than I needed.
I loved each and every gift I received though and took very good care of my things, which bratty kid did not do with hers, her barbie doll had been through it, her hair was a tangled mess that had even been cut in places, she'd lost the shoes + accessories and the dress was dirty and tattered.
So bratty kid's mom marched her bratty kid into my room to inspect my dolls, neatly lined up on a low shelf and she actually tried to grab one of them! I caught her wrist before she could touch it and quietly told her, "That's my doll." My own mother was in the room with me and confirmed it. Thankfully, neither of them put up a fight and left right away. Later that same day, bratty kid's mom called and gave a halfhearted apology saying they found the doll under the bed. I never played with her again and we moved to another house when I was 8.
I still heard stories about her since we went to the same school (and she was my brother's classmate) and she did this to EVERYONE, she would befriend someone who didn't know anything about her, things would be okay for a while until the bad behavior and lies started happening, there would be an incident (frequently involving accusation of theft or actual theft with the bratty kid being exposed as the thief) until everyone knew about her and refused to have anything to do with her anymore. The craziest story was her inviting a girl over from school, only for her (bratty kid) to start trashing her *own* room, while the other girl just stared in disbelief and quickly noped out of there - calling her mother to pick her up. Bratty kid then accused the girl she invited over of having trashed the room (ripping pictures and posters off the wall, destroying them, smearing paint and plasticine clay into the carpets, knocking things off of shelves, breaking the bed...etc.).
She even tried ruining that girl's reputation at school, but it didn't work since that girl was actually nice, while bratty kid had proven herself to be a liar and had pulled similar stunts in the past. So when nice girl told her side of the story, we knew who to believe.
Wow, that's nuts!

All of these neighbors annoy me, especially when they decide to harm children. Very few things are sacred to me, but children are second only to family on that list.
I keep hearing stories about neighbors doing things like this, paying a fencer to tear down an old fence and put up a new one in a different location, or cutting down trees, paying to have a house painted that wasn't theirs, demolishing a pool. Don't these workers ever verify the addresses of the people paying them and the property ownership and property lines? When I was a child my parents had a fence put in and the fencing company insisted on seeing the deed, the city documents with the property lines(platt book I think it's called), and obviously had to know who was paying them before they got started because these projects aren't cheap. So why are so many people able to hire workers that don't verify any of these things? If I was hired to do work on a property that the payee lived adjacent to, especially if they were having me remove or destroy something, a quick call to the city or county would verify whether or not they owned the property or not. It's illegal for the neighbors to pay someone to destroy someone else's property. The person who does this is likely to be charged for property was damaged, and also for defrauding the company or person they lied to and hired to do the damage. The company or worker will likely be charged or held liable due to their own negligence and lack of due diligence in accepting money or a contract to work on a property without verifying who the owner of that property is. In some places it is also a seperate crime to move, damage, destroy, or remove property boundary markers in a way that makes the boundary look to be in a different place or not there at all.
I keep wondering about this, too.
Story 3:
Im so glad the daughter got good foster parents, who helped her understand right from wrong.
Sounds like she has a good chance at life now.
Okay that daycare neighbor moves in the shadows xD beautiful
All she did was help enable those kids.
Story number 3: that psycho Karen who grabbed the 11 year old is lucky she didn't get hospitalized. Op's father could have seriously messed her up, and there wouldn't have been a court in the land that would have convicted him.
Not even in the second biggest state in the country.
Story 3: Most likely the bike thief was told by her mother that if she wanted a (new) bike that she had to go out and steal one. If mom lost custody, there's more to the story.
With some rich people, the more they have, the more entitled they are, not caring who they hurt in the process.
Thats how they get to be rich.
It's likely the woman inherited or married into wealth and thinks it makes her better than others.
Story one.... Neighbor Dad was a total flaming AH, and his kids were thieving brats. I hope Neighbor Dad is proud in later years when those kids wind up in prison. 😡
Story two..... Another danged thief! She is just PO'd she got caught. 😮
Last story.... I kindov pity poor Greg. 😅
Story 1: Neighbour's kids are horrible. Glad OP's son doesn't play with them any more.
Story 2: The thieving Karen didn't like it when she was (indirectly) outed as a thief.
Story 3: Another Karen who doesn't like it when her daughter is outed as a thief. Good on the daughter for apologizing to OP later.
Story 4: OP needs to get a restraining order against James & Rose. They're clearly delusional.
Story 5: This is the perfect example of revenge being a dish best eaten cold.
Story 6: That was a creative way of getting Karen neigbour to leave.
Story 2 - I would’ve reported her to the police for trespassing and stealing
Did OP get the stolen money back, or was Karen just there to yell at them for being "rude" because they went to FB to ask for information?
Because if the money wasn't returned, OP could (and probably should) have posted video of the woman gettting out of her car, running onto the driveway, taking the money, jumping back into her car, and speeding off, then posted a picture of her house (which is public information and not protected by privacy laws) and honestly stated that, by her own logic, anything on her driveway that could be easily grabbed is fair game.
See a bicycle on the driveway? Fair game.
See the car unlocked, with key in the ignition? Fair game.
See groceries in the trunk that she's in the process of bringing into her house, one trip at a time? Grab some for yourself, she doesn't mind!
And on down the list, and if she jumps on the post to complain, rake her across the coals, by refusing to remove the post until she gives a public apology for being a thief, admits she's a thief, and returns the money SHE STOLE.
If she refuses to do so, just keep repeating to her "hey, you thought it was okay when you did it, and yelled that it was 'rude' when someone complained, so live by your own standards! It's either theft or it isn't. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!"
Story 3: If that happened to my kid, that woman would have been in the hospital, not expected to live.
Capital punishment for a bike?
@@SPY46 That is excessive for theft. Maybe traction?
I'm super lucky to have awesome neighbors ❤
Story 3: Hey, at least the one teen is with better people, but wow that woman's BS was pretty terrible. I bet you she pull a "Rules for thee, not for me" if it happened to her
One afternoon I saw a group of men in my backyard. I want outside and one told me they were moving a shed into the new neighbor's yard. Through my yard? I asked. It won't hurt anything they said. Would it occur to you to ask first? They stormed off. I later saw them moving the prefab shed OVER the neighbor's front fence and gate. I went over there and said all they had to do was ask. I would have said yes. That was one of the better interactions with those neighbors.
When I was 8, I’m on my late 30s now, my 5 year old neighbor stole a sheet of stickers off my desk. I got the stickers for getting a gold star on a test. When I found out and told his parents they spanked him. His parents offered to buy me another sheet but it wouldn’t be the same. Fast forward 6 months later the kid steals a toy car from another kid during show and tell. His parents gave him a sleeping bag and a duffle bag full of his clothes and “abandoned” him at the park for 15 minutes. They told him thieves are not allowed in their house. I moved soon after so I don’t know if the kid ever stole again. At least his parents can say they tried to straighten him out.
If the kids don’t change, they are either looking at jail or the morgue real soon.
Story 1. I don't think people realize how much $40 is for a low income family. You can get a few meals out of that, like two or three pots of spaghetti, which can last up to a week if you pair it with other stuff.
Story 1 - I Absolutely applaud OP’s kind neighbor. She’s an angel in disguise to OP’s son and lady Karma incarnate.
I definitely was not expecting that. Awesome ending

Story 1: Those kids are not gonna last long in the future. They’ll piss of the wrong person.
Unless they change I think you’re right.
@@LoveOnTheInsidex3 with a dad like that... not any time soon
They gonna have fun in the work world.
They'll likely get in trouble with the law, and their parents will make faux tears to the judge about how their children are angels, not capable of doing such horrible things, etc.
Yep.
Daaaang. That first story. Due to a head injury, I have a limited verbal filter, and the moment I watched his daughter break that toy and then they laughed together...I would have immediately called them all trashy people and probably triggered a fight.
Back in the day, I would have done what OP did. Now, it's harder to hold my tongue, especially if my child were involved.
Hurt my child, you're hurting me. He can't fight back but I can.
As someone who grew a large rose garden, I can attest to the devastation that Japanese beetles can do!! That revenge was genius! 😅
Fifth story: Be careful who are you petty to, because you can be annoying someone pettier.
Genius! Great story.
True-every act of pettiness is a roll of the dice between getting your desired vengeance or setting off a nest of yellow jackets.
That last story reminded me of when my former boyfriend and I were sharing a house with some friends. Since they had a child and another onmthe way, we decided they would live upstairs and we would live downstairs. Perfect for us since where we live, AC is not common but gas furnaces are. This meant that we were cool in the summer. That first winter was an eye-opener as the mom could not understand that you find a comfortable temperature, set it and walk away. She was always turning it up and down. My boyfriend fixed the problem as my birthday present in early December. He went to the hardware store, bought a new thermostat and installed it where it wouldn't be seen while laundry was being done. It's been many years but it remains in my top 5 of gifts 😂😂😂
Story 1 - My mom would’ve gone nuclear on the dad if that had happened to me or my brother when we were that age. (Italian Mama Bear)
And what an AH of a neighbor and father. Being proud that his kids thieving brats and that they also destroyed an expensive toy that wasn’t theirs. Hope he’s still proud in the future when they’re either in jail or 6 feet under.
That last one, you simpky turn the heat down to 55. It will get uncomfortably cold, but still warm enough to keep most of he house functioning. Any lower and you risk frozen pipes and confused refrigerators.
(I know from living in a place without heat. Space heaters made it possible to live, but i couldn't just always have them on.
With the beetle story and not telling anyone, he may have just set himself up for plausible deniability.
No officer, I don’t know anything about those beetles. It could have been anyone in the neighbourhood, or someone he annoyed at work.
I said it before and I will keep saying it you are the best story teller thanks for them.❤
The last story made me imagine our parka-clad hero doing a victory pose, still in the ski mask, in the middle of their living room.
Story 1 reminded me of when I was a kid and I lent a book to a friend. Went from brand new to nearly destroyed in a week. Some people are just ridiculously destructive.
4:42 when I was a kid that $40 would’ve been 4/5 of my birthday money!
The worst neighbours we probably had was a couple where we had to call the police on them a few times. The husband was also a member of the Met police (not surprised, tbh). He came back home one night around 1am after we had called the police on them, and he made the motion of threatening to slit my mother's throat, apparently. So glad we don't have them around anymore.
Story 2. That is exactly how to many rich people get rich. They scamming and lying their way to money. My brother is exactly like that. Our Grand grand Mother (99 years old) gave him 2000€ as a wedding gift but he claimed she forgot to give him anything so he got 2000€ again. And when i told her this she said that she dont want's any fighting in the family.
A tale as old as capitalism put to text by Charles Dickens.
The Japanese beetle revenge is positively evil, and I bet the neighbour really felt the loss of his roses! Wouldn't do it myself, as I'm a rose lover, but at least it wasn't permanently damaged.
I can't even imagine the scene of destruction left if my tiny but mighty daughter's children were harmed in any way (story 1)😂😂
Daycare neighbour just reserved her seat in Valhalla
Story 5 - OP might not have told anyone about what he did at the time, but now that you’ve read out his story on YT, most of the world knows !
Hey Fluff, Story #5. I live in a long-term rental. I live in Section 8 Housing; for those that don't know. Section 8 in the United States allows people with disabilities to live on their own at subsidized rent. While it's not always perfect; I've lived in my apartment for 11 years now.
Some of my neighbors are interesting; this story is about one neighbor in particular. Her name is Diane, she lives in an apartment that has a total square footage of 628 square feet. The apartment is a one bedroom, one bathroom; Ideally designed for two adults.
Diane is the stuff of legend at this point; the woman doesn't work full time but cares for a bedridden man. They both smoke like chimneys whether it be pot or cigarettes, they also have Diane's grandchildren over every day after school. The children aren't part of the lease; meaning that they have to be cleared by the landlord. Even the grandchildren smoke pot and they're as young as 14 years old.
Honestly, I don't care, it's not my life they're ruining; it's their own.
The reason why I'm complaining about Diane; she sells her medication in order to buy either pot or to pay her bills.
I wish I could say that I have reported on Diane and her tenant Roger. But, the management knows all about Diane and her little scams; what we're all awaiting is for her to have her apartment inspected, because if she fails inspection? She and Roger will be evicted, most likely lose their Section 8 vouchers, and will have to pay market rent; in my area, market rent starts at $750 per month.
I'm just waiting my time, to see Diane and Roger both screw themselves out of their housing!
I know that some of your readers are wondering about getting revenge? As has been stated on Star Trek; the Klingon Proverb for revenge is a dish best served cold.
Last story: Heat rises! I lived in ancient dorm freshman year (this was the 80s and they had been built in the 1930s!). Winter came and we were roasting on the 3rd floor even though we kept our windows wide open and turned our radiators off. The guys on the ground floor had their radiators on full and were always freezing, all the heat just rose up. So even with the heat just turned down the basement likely still would have been much colder.
Story 1: yeah I'd be tracing "bad parents" on their lawn with salt water
Story 1: That daycare neighbor lady was so kind to OP and her son, while being vicious to the AH father at the same time. I LOVE it!😀
Story 2: If this woman didn’t want to be caught on camera, then she should have stayed on her own property!😠
Story 3: Now we know how her kids turned out so badly😒
Story 4: I wish that I could bottle the audacity that this couple has😟
Story 5: I feel so sorry for that neighbor’s dog, having an owner like that😢
At least the kid in story 3 got better once she was away from that witch
@@Shinyspddmn This is probably the only time that being taken away from a parent and placed in foster care turned out to be a good thing for a kid🙂
I wonder how will she charge the toy's cost? The AHD will notice the increase in the bill, for sure.
@@gorilladisco9108 She’ll probably say that she had to increase her cost temporarily due to inflation😏
@@chinavaughan6383 But inflation is there to stay.
1st; Stealing is Still Stealing, and since the Dad approved I would Call CPS, and File a complaint charging him with Accessory to theft.🤔👮♀....
That neighbor in the first story ( the good neighbor) is an awesome person.
The Ironman story: I would have taken out my phone and called the cops the moment the kids refused to give the toy back. That would have sorted it out very quickly.
Story 2: Why not just be a good neighbor, give the money back and say I'm sorry? Ugh, people are so rude. Who raises these people? Disgusting. Goshl, I am so blessed to have amazing neighbors. Just saying.
That Japanese beetle story is hilarious
Story 2 (the phone story at the end) - I don’t know about the laws in the United States or where the situation occurred but in Australia there is a law to cover you if someone (Karen) claims “finders keepers”.
It’s Larceny by finding, or stealing by finding.
I’m imagining the look on an entitled person’s face when this is explained to them (preferably by law enforcement).
How by saying they found it and then kept it they are in fact admitting to a crime 😂
That's isn't a law in the US
And I think that's a bad idea. Because what's to stop me from seeing that you have a wad of cash in your pocket and me claiming that was cash I lost? Then if my acting skills are better than your truth you'd have to give it to me or be arrested for stealing.
@@byronmccall1554 there absolutely is a law that u can't keep found money... It's considered theft, but if the person doesn't report it missing, or if a enough time passes, then u can keep it
@@byronmccall1554
“In someone’s pocket” is an entirely different situation than finding cash on the street or in someone’s private driveway. Very different indeed.
@@SecretSquirrelFun
Well obviously I would claim that you found it on the ground and it was mine. And the fact that it made it into your pocket just means you're a thief because you stole it while I was trying to find my missing money that was on the ground. Now do you see the problem with that law
Ironman toy story: Fluff, when you don't have the extra $40 to replace it without sacrificing something else (been there), it's rough on the kid(s).
Dropped money story: Time to post not just her picture but the entire video. but did give you your friend's money?
Bike story: Fluff, what makes you think the EM was in her right mind? At least the foster parents were being a good influence on the girl.
James and Rose story: I'd sue for the cost of a new, secure privacy fence (since they took yours down), locking gate(s), cameras with sound to monitor fence and gate(s) and plenty of no trespassing signs with James and Rose, this means YOU, to go around the outside the fence.
Japanese beetles vs rose bushes story: More than one way to get even for bs. Hey, you offered to pay half of the vet bill just to be nice. He's the one that had a dog off leash and then escalated.
Apartment story: Gee, there's a reason the rent was "surprisingly" affordable. Well done OP.
I live in an apartment complex with my mother and autistic younger brother. And after reading these stories about nightmare neighbors, I now understand why my mom always smears holy oil on the doors of vacant apartments in our building.
Don't forget the pure sodium chloride.
Because your mom is delusional
This is the daft thing about thieves caught red-handed; they will hardly ever exclaim "Fair do, sir, I dun a wrong'un" and hand it back. They double down and claim it was YOUR fault, for whatever reason they can come up with in 1/15th of a second.
Story #2 - Rich people aren't rich because they get more money than you, but rather because they spend less money than you. If that means that the spend YOUR money, then that's OK by them.
Story #4 - Odds are that they're house flippers and looking for a way to make a few more bucks, by "improving" the property at the expense of their temporary neighbours.
I can't decide what's worse, living with a Karen or next to one
You have a reason to unalive if they don't live with you.
Idk. If one is next to you, you still gotta live "with" it.
So I don't see a difference
Living with a Karen and having a Karen neighbor at the same time is worse. Extra points if your Karen partner and said neighbor team up
Either one is a total nightmare
You can feel ashamed or mad as hell!
I'm pretty sure that neighbour in the last story quit smoking for good, now she smokes for evil.
story 1: If it was my kids that stole it. I would be furious
For some of us, $40 is a lot of money.
Neighbor: harrasses someone
OP: I AM BECOME DEATH, UNLEASH THE LOCUST.
Story 4: Can i just say how nice it is to read a story where the Op actually has a spine.
Like there’s none of that “we we’re nice and gave in” BS.
Naw well done Op
Story #1: no.. Call the cops.. Just call the cops and charge them with theft and destruction of property.
Yikes ... reminded me of a friend who had a karen neighbor and her 6 hells spawns ( yes she had 6 ) all of them had a bad rep for destroying decorations during holidays set fires ( one of them burned a church nativity scene and was caught ) and the mom ... she was the worst cause she attacked a child who was the sheriff's grand kid
Welp, she's gonna meet mr glock and auntie 9mm when the sheriff finds out 😂

Story 5. As someone who has roses that were my grandfather's if someone did that to me it would be on. Like good luck finding all the dead fish around your house.
1st story: Yeah... no, I'd be calling the cops.
I will never understand why people that think it's ok or acceptable to try to reclaim property that's taken away from them!
Because they think that the world revolves around them.
As in take back property that was stolen from them? or trying to take back something they stole that was returned to the owner?
Story 4 - I’m not gonna lie I was hoping that the neighbors were gonna call the Property inspectors to try to gain more of OP’s land only to find out that part of ‘their’ property is actually OP’s.
Story 1: I was about to get a little mad at the OP for turning down the new Iron Man toy. Like, neighbor lady went out of her way to buy it and you’re going to turn it down, let your kid go without, and the neighbor lady will have to go all the way back to the store to return it? Let the pride go.
I understand her reticence, if the nice neighbor replaced the toy, then the deadbeat dad was off the hook and what was to stop his goblins from stealing and breaking OP's kid's new toy...essentially the man was robbing two neighbors. Which is why when nice neighbor said loser dad was footing the bill through her child care fees, OP jumped on board. If caregiver replaces every damaged toy his brats destroy by charging him for it, he might get the picture and start disciplining them for their actions instead of bragging and laughing about them. Receiving charity is uncomfortable if necessary at times, but justice is priceless.
OP could have called the police for theft and destruction of property, but likely it wouldn't have gotten anywhere beyond being a scare tactic. Nice neighbor's plan seems more effective.
I sure miss your tales!!! I very much enjoy listening to you! I hope all is well and you and yours. I really look forward to your stories. Just wanted to give you a shout out!
The person who replied to the stolen money reminds me of a guy I worked for in London, he owned a bar went into a wholesaler and whilst he was paying at the counter he left his new IPhone behind, half an hour later we went back, and saw the lady who ran another local Bar had picked it up from the CCTV, it was reported to the police as the recording showed him take the phone out take a call then put it down whilst he paid the bill in cash and walk away leaving the phone, and her come up ask something so the lady behind the counter had to turn away, she picked it up and put it in her purse, Police paid her a call but her Husband who was an ExCop spoke to them and the case even with the video evidence was dropped.....
Story 2... I would be greatly upset on it... and would not allow them to yell at me, for their theft from my property. As for the phone, as soon as they refused to return it, I would have gone "OK. I will just call the police." as I walk away, and call them saying they had my property and thought it would be a nice civil pickup of the property, but they were refusing to return it and needed some assistance.
I thought of the pipes too!! 😂 Hopefully he turned his taps on just a smidgeon to keep the water flowing.
Destroying rose garden was criminal
We lived on an army post when my daughter was young. We bought her a new tricycle from the PX, and one day it disappeared. I saw it in a front yard a block away and went to get it. The mom ran out screaming, say THEY had just brought it for her daughter. MP' s showed up, and I flipped the trike over to show them my name and address etched into the metal under the seat. I could have pressed charges, but the look on everyone's faces was enough for me.😁
I've read this 3 or 4 times hoping there's somehow going to be more like mom having the gasping out of water look on her face as the MPs are looking at her etc
You were very kind. Seeing the look on everyone's face was payment enough. 🤣
But even then, I bet the MPs had to report it, since it was a case of theft on a military base. And if that woman was the wife of a service member, her actions would have reflected poorly on him, meaning he could be denied promotions, be assigned cr*p duties, etc. That's something that far too many military spouses don't seem to understand, that their own misbehavior can hurt the career of the person who is actually in the military.
I honestly hope that my newlywed brother doesn't have to deal with that, even though he's Army Reserve and doesn't live on a base. Fortunately, his wife seems to be a decent person (at least what little I've seen of her), so hopefully things will work out.
@@astrofan1993 Being a Reservist/Guardsman gives families more flexibility to be imperfect than AD. As long as the families stay off base, and don't cause civilian problems for the member, all is good.
My kids are well informed and trained about expected behavior while on base since hubby and I are both Guard (I'm Air, he's Army).
oh, this reminded me of a scene in an old John Ringo novel, i think it was "gust front".
a female soldier (a sniper) caught up with the nasty guy who had stolen her equipment and left her to die.
she loudly accused him.
an officer asked her and the guy, "what is the serial number on the sniper rifle?"
the guy blurted out something like "what difference does that make?"
but the woman recited the correct number from memory, then added, "AND my name is engraved on the sniper rifle just below the number."
that was IT for the nasty guy.
The kids with the ironman, the dad didnt even learn a lesson, nor the kids. Least it was a happy ending for the boy
Story 1: Nope...an immediate call to the police for Theft of Property & Destruction of Property. Demand full payment plus tax and fuel cost or be charged with those 2 crimes.
Story 3: Choking a preteen child should have been considered Attempted Murder and she should have been charged for that. Glad that the girl got away from that Karen mother.
Story 1: The dad is teaching their kids that it's okay to be a spoiled brat and steal from others. OP was honestly a DOORMAT, but at least their neighbor got them a new toy. And I hope that those kids either get raised better or they'll end up as criminals.
Story 2: Karen jut didn't want to admit that she spent the money and her "wanted for someone to report it missing" is just her lame excuse to make herself look like the victim. OP should move away FAST, he could be next on the thieving Karen's list.
Story 3: Who does that to an 11 year old? I'll answer that: a freaking child-hater SOCIOPATH! Which the karen clearly was. The fact that the daughter (and possibly her siblings as well) had to be sent into foster care implies that the woman was a danger even to her OWN children. She probably forced them to steal the bike and was either abusive or extremely neglectful. I hope that Karen ROTS in prison.
Story 4: James and Rose are clearly grown-up spoiled bullies who have never been told NO. OP should just make everyone in the neighborhood ignore them until they are forced to move away.
Story 5: EXCELLENT revenge. The best part is that the neighbor will never know it was OP who did it.
Story 6: GOD, that woman sure has issues. She needs to be locked up in a mental hospital since she's clearly NOT sane at all.
Story 4: Why weren't police called on these neighbors? If they are doing this to OP, they are probably doing it to other people.
so, why didn't they call the cops on the neighbors for constant trespassing and then destruction of property?
#2: I would have informed the neighbor in no uncertain terms that if she doesn't give back the money right now, I'm calling the cops right now!
I don't see what the destroyers of plants and trees are so proud about. The beetles would spread all over the neighborhood and destroy everyone's roses.
Yeah. I thought that was really distasteful and completely wrong.
Chicken poop as a fertilizer is very smelly and the smell will last a long time if you use alot.. just thought I'd share this idea.
And it's that sweet sickly smell if it's been allowed to ferment in the heat out of the sun
Remember your driveway is a part of your curtelage. This simply means it is your access to the public street as your walkway from your front porch is to the sidewalk. Make no mistake that is still your property and you can trespass anyone who is on it. Just remember that the sidewalk isn't your property.
In 7th through 12th grade I was known as the curse lord, nothing lethal mind you. I continously cast the curse of misfortune that lasted 2 weeks. To those who physically bullied me. If I was the parent, I'd curse not only the father but the daughter too.
My principals or edict is "killing is still murder even if it's through the use of magic." Curse of misfortune never kills it is a basic lvl 1 curse.
That last one was pretty smart, since the cold air also prevents the smoke from rising as easily.
Sadly I know how the kid feels in story 1 when his toy broke, years ago I had a big wheel, older one but in good shape, one day my folks and me returnee to see the big wheel gone, this took place in a military housing in southern California so remember that for later. As I looked around I seen 3 others missing one belonging to a friend who I know just got it and was home sick. My dad goes looking for mine and finds it 3 blocks away smashed up. I seen it as he brought it back front wheel broken off, rear wheels all burnt up like it be dragged by a car. We later found out a family whos kids had been little terrors for a while took 5 of em from around our area we lived in and an older sibling with either a go cart or motorcycle towed em behind smashing up the big wheels. One got smashed under a car causing 300 dollars damages to tire and brake lines. The military housing later kicked out the family cause of the damages, we all got replacements thanks to the housing. The family also got sued for the damages to the car, and the dad got in trouble cause the car damaged was his superior car.
Story 3 is an incredibly fast track way to getting the 6 foot deep forever sleep
Thevruining of rge neighbor's roses was an unnecessary cruelty. Especially, as roses are so beautiful, and bring joy to people. I understand why, but I cannot find it in myself to approve!
story 2 - guilty conscience idiots always out themselves, even when no evidence has been shown. my local lake has a ban on air boats, but that didn't stop someone from taking theirs out on the lake anyway - and accidentally sunk it. nobody knew who's boat it was, and photos and an article about it were posted in the local paper. lo and behold.... the boat's owner called the newspaper to complain about us writing about it trying to say they did nothing wrong. our response was just, "ah - and what was your name again?"
Story 1. We ride at dawn!
I am glad that at least one of OP’s neighbors is a good person!
Story 2. Where Karen learns that actions have swift consequences in a security cam world. 😁
Story 3. That was one unhinged situation! I am glad that OP got their bike back, and odd as it may seem, glad that the girl was taken from a situation that could have led her to a life of hardship and suffering.
Story 4. James and Rose should have bought a fixer-upper on a bigger property if they wanted more garden space. 😂
Story 5. Nature is great! So is moving in the shadows! 😈
Story 6. Smoking is gross, even more so when it’s involuntary. I am glad that OP found a solution.
My neighbor rented a very small yard machine and started plowing up the grass in his yard. Dad went over to remind him that four feet next to our place is ours (we live in a trailer park) or he would have dug up right to our wall and hoped we wouldn't notice 🙄
Money in the driveway:
The woman who picked it up should have left a note in the door saying she spotted it in the dtiveway and picked ig up for safekeeping so it wouldn't blow away. She could have left her phone number and name, and said she would come by to return it the following day.
Would thst have been hard to do, being a good neighbor?
She had no intention of doing anything other than keeping the money. She was only there because she was aware there was evidence of her behavior.
With entitled people, it would be
