Wait, your neighbor raped your friend?? Wow!!

Did she ever get justice?

@artbee: OMG that's a terrible story!!

I have 2.
1. My college roommate sublet her room to her friends brother one summer. We hit it off & were great friends... until he gave a copy of his house key to a friend of his, and never told me about it. His friend let himself in the house at 2am one night, and woke me up in my third floor bedroom to see where Roommate was. I was terrified and startled! Roommate & I didn't get along after that very well.

2. When Mr. Jumper and I bought our house three years ago, we slowly took our time getting settled. The back of our house has lots of privacy, so I didn't hurry to put up curtains in our kitchen and dining room. Our next door neighbor came by one day when she saw us in our yard, and said, "Oh, I didn't know you had cats!" Apparently she'd been picking in through our curtainless windows. I hung sheets up that night!!

@artbee: holy moly. I'm so sorry about what happened to your friend!!

I guess this isn't that bad, I've only had a few bad neighbor incidents.

1. The neighbor behind us in my first house stored all of his junk (trash cans, trailer, old wood scraps) on his property line which bordered ours. Every single time we saw him outside, he told us he was going to put up a fence. We moved and 6 years later, there's still no fence there.

2. I lived in what appeared to be a safe apartment in Bristol, CT. After I moved in I started noticing patterns of weird behavior. I had a drug dealer living across the hall from me!!!! I got out of that lease quickly and moved up to West Hartford.

When we lived out in the country in TN, we lived in this all-white county in the boonies. We had neighbors who were completely crazy. They were members of the KKK, hated every race except white (we were afraid to have friends over if they weren't white because of what the neighbors might do).
Some of our black friends from out of state wanted to come stay with us for a weekend, but we were honestly scared for their safety if they came. It was horrible.

They were constantly shooting on their property, and often shot over into our land, including filling our vegetable garden with bird shot (we used to find pellets in our vegetables when we cut them up), and they shot all of our chickens.
Killed them. They were our pets.

They also broke into our home and the neighbors home across the street and tried to put in phone taps because they were so paranoid.
They burned down another neighbors home (although it was never proven, we are sure it was them and so were all the other neighbors).
Eventually they started making death threats against the neighbors across the street, who had a baby and were pregnant with a second, and the cops FINALLY got involved. They still didn't go to jail. Everyone on the street moved away because they were afraid.
