even better! they will be broke soon and have to move out when they quit paying rent.

Different agency, but I know people everywhere. Again, their behavior is not a crime, but they are knotheads. Move their cans back to where they belong or put them on the sidewalk in front of their house, if there is a sidewalk. Make it as inconvenient to them as possible without crossing the line.

Watch the movie "Lake Forrest" and get some ideas. Be smart.

This reminds me of a story where a friend's parents were driving down the main strip in a nearby beach town. They were an older senior couple, soft spoken and proper. Think of the old man and his wife in the movie "up"

They came to a stoplight. In the road was a grocery bag next to where they had stopped. The old man opened his car door and picked up the bag, opened it, and found it to be full of old dildos.

"Honey, what's in the bag?" the wife asked.
"It's a bag of Do's" the husband replied.


What you need is a good used source for "Do's". Place one in the bottom of his can every week after it is emptied by the city.

Someone suggests paying a freakin' lawyer, and yer worried about speeling Baz? That's another dumbazz idea btw.....I'm sure MRM does pro bono toter cases....

I keed, I keed....

Thats the difference between people who's time and aggravation isn't worth anything versus the rest of us.

People will let all sorts of irritations plague them for a lifetime.
$100 bucks for a letter to show your serious often stops this nonsense in its tracks.

We have a flock of attorneys here...

I suggested an outright bribe earlier....I 'speck 20 bucks should do it....

Just move their damn toters smack in the middle of their drive entrance, blocking it.....each and every time.

Is she hot?

It has been raining a lot, when the trash truck is done in my hood the lids a flipper open, be a shame if someone dumped a bag of quickcrete in their cans

Here is my typo ridden draft of a letter:

We have been retained by our client to address the trash can issue

Please refrain from placing your cans in front of property xxx or we will be forced to take further action

Govern yourselves accordingly!

I’d send some thing like that


...either that or I’d install a lawn sprinkler with a motion sensor :D

Week one remove wheels and throw them in container prior to arrival of the garbage truck
Week two put PUR insulation foam in empty container after garbage truck came by

There will not be a week 3

Then he empties the crap on your land.

Put PUR foam in it, that way they can't empty it.
PUR weighs nothing and they won't be able to dump it either..

Not in CA ....THAT would be illegal ;)

No lawn sprinkler ?

How about organic fertilizers like deep sheep manure??;)

Nice way? Ron, you know me, I don't ruffle feathers unless I must but usually I am always civil about it. Getting pissed off, screaming never gets anything done. You met my wonderful wife. She screams and yells at me often, so you see anything getting done around the house?:D

Green house with the white bay window and the brown wooden gate is my house. My cans are behind those gates, shaded dark section, not the sun lid part. That's the fence I build to keep their trash on their side. Dumbass neighbor's cans are behind the green gate with a metal arch on top, right of our of wooden gate (pic 3). They like pull their trash cans out and drag it down hill line it all up in front of my house instead of putting them in front of their garage(I like to know why but was given a dumb answer). We place our trash cans on the sidewalk in front of my gate. Instead of dragging their cans up hill, maybe it takes too much effort, they just pull them down, bypass my trash cans and sit them in front of my bay window which is where my kitchen is. The house up the hill with the white garage door is my rental. They built an outdoor shower with a little deck and a staircase that's of my property (pic 2). Their property ends there the big red deck ends. That big tree sits on my side. These people seem to thinks that if it isn't being used, its ok to built on someone's property ans claim it theirs. The ratty fence wooden fence was put up by the previous owner (my rental) to keep people from falling over into the neighbor's. That's not the property line.

Last pic, my other dumb ass neighbor, absentee owner, refused to repair (need new, no footing) that retaining wall that failed. The recent rain has eroded more soil onto my renter. I put up that black metal fence to prevent concrete block from hurting anyone or her little girl should it fall over. Its about 5' tall. I hate irresponsible people.

Most of the house is on the down slop and the property runs all the way down to the bottom of the canyon and we have no back yard neighbors. We tirelessly (on all our properties) try and maintain all trees and brushes and do not let any of the limbs go over to our neighbor's yards. Its the right thing to do (and to prevent lawsuits). I only wish they would do half that.

Narrow street. Notice my truck takes up 30% of the width of the street. No parking on our side of the street from dumb ass neighbor's downward because another vehicle wouldn't be able to get through the turn.

You city people are funny...

I know Calgary pretty well and visit my relatives often. Aren't you just at the edge of the city? I remember you mentioned that you ride your bike in Nosehill Park. That's just outside your backyard. You guys keep building those high rise condos and they are going up all over the place, this crap will be coming to your city very soon.

How many cans? Looks to me like if he pullled directly straight to the street, isn’t that enough room?

If he needs an extra foot or so, would you pull your cans downhill 3 feet so he can go straight out?

Pic was taken at an angle. They have a 4' wide gate and about 4 feet in front of their gate and the width of the garage to put their trash cans. That's what I do not understand the reason for having putting them in front of my home. Anther things is when thr city trucks empties their trash, they often just dump the cans and ot falls over on my side so I get to pick them up. Sometimes they don't pick them up for a day or two. When they do pick it up, it site out on the curb in front of their gate for a few days. Crazy and lazy

Yeah that shower in your back yard should not last another day.
Get a copy of land survey on file.
Toss it in the dumpster, barbed wire, then install "private property no trespass" signs blocking all egress.
Or put up camera and charge $1,000 entry fee. Small claims.

Neighbor with bad retaining wall needs a notarized certified letter with a cc to city housing and your insurance company.
That should wake him up. It need to be done some time, and will prevent further damage.
Maybe it could be dangerous with a flooding mudslide(?)


I was looking at the street and thinking "meh row houses" but then saw that view..

Survey done just need his lazy ass to get recorded.

Housing and the city could care less. I have tried. They said its a matter between home owners.

Most of the house is on the down slope. But they are on a typical 50" wide lot. All three of the property fan out in the back since we are right in the turn. hard to come by in crowded LA

Wow, that city life would be stressful, i've had campsites bigger than that with more separation. I'll stay on my 10 acres with the closest neighbors 1/4 mile in each direction....no issues other than ATVs, and snowmobiles running amuk.

I had a neighbor who escalated his driveway to repave.
In the process he took out a section of my side yard big enough to park my truck on.

(Looking out at his new driveway trajectory from his door, it was a straight shot and avoided some trees and a lamp post on the other side of his property).

But, Looking at his house from street, since his house sat on an angle, he had obviously carved out part of my lot. He couldn't see this, even when I brought out my survey and located the pins.

He eventually promised to do the right thing, but then proceeded to have gravel laid and packed ready or paving.

=PHASE I=
It was a lot of stress waiting for him to do the right thing and was causing issues for me on the home front until finally I said enough is enough, told my wife to get in the truck, we picked up a load of sod, laid it over his roadbed following my survey markers, and had an excavator from a new house construction across the street drop a big assed old rock there and we built a nice rock garden and retaining wall.

=PHASE II=
I dug up his mailbox form the end of my laneway and handed it to him.
He said this is the community mailbox area...I pointed to the official community mailbox area 10 houses away and resented the letter I had obtained from the postal service confirming this

His wife confronted us insisting they could put their mailbox back on my property instead of the other side of their laneway. When we wouldn't agree, see insinuated that our flag pole in the back down by the river was actually on her property. My my wife and her were mixing it up, I took my shove and in a few minutes dug up the flagpole brought it back and dropped it at her feet and said " anything else?

Situation neutralized.

=PHASEII=
We get huge snow storms.

I cleared most of the snow from the driveway across to my front lawn.
Some of it got shoveled onto my yard next to their driveway.

I caught an earful from his wife because after one huge snowfall, some chunks of snow off my bank end up on their driveway.

I immediately erected a chunk of plywood against my retaining wall cgi enough to hold the snow back (and look like an eyesore from there side.

He came storming out and gave me another earful and demanded that I take it down.
I simply responded with "Why do you guys keep causing ****...turned and walked away"

Every issue they had was met with a worse issue.
And every complaint they had was met with the words "What you do on your side of the property line is none of my business," and walked away.

=Moral=
I've left out a lot of their other antics.

Once getting a call from the gas company guy who was in their driveway with them as they insisted the new gas line be run up my property instead of theirs. (They insisted the gas guy call me to ask my permission but instead the gas guy immediately saw what was going on and called me to tell me the situation, within their earshot he didn't ask my permission, instead without me having a chance to say anything he told me loudly (so they could hear) not to worry that this was gong to be done on their property and by the book).

These people were takers. They got away with a lot and caused us a lot of grief until I finally took a zero tolerance stand and with every action on their part, I took immediate action without delay. Once including a lawyers letter.

Before I took a stand, each year consistently the property line seems to move further and further towards my house.

Enough.

you know, they'll get tired of finding their bins if they keep rolling down hill on their own...

What Jeff needs is a freakin' bull dozer....make some elbow room :(. Nice warm weather though :)!

Its not that bad. The lots are pie shaped so there's a a lot of room between the houses (by LA standard anyway). It opens up in the back on the down hill side. Majority of the house is in the back, off the street so its really quiet back there. Thank goodness we have no back yard neighbors.

A little update for ya. This was Tuesday. I went home for lunch and see what I normally see, trash cans. The trash truck driver isn't very good at putting things back gently and those cars are theirs, in front of my kitchen on the curb. I do what I always do, put them back on their side and it will stay out there for a couple days on the curb like that. Oh believe, I called the city about that, they come by leave a note and goes away.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1548868505.jpg

this thread came to mind several weeks ago.

my neighbor put their Christmas tree in front of my house. it was dry..just looking at it hard, needles would fall off.

it was picked up by the city. (late) and i think the entire volume of pine needles remained. my neighbor across the street paused in his daily ritual of telling people, "get off my lawn" and approached me. he said for me to push it all over on their side.

nah..gravity and nature would blow that crap into my front door opening.

i swept it up. slightly begrudgingly. but whatever.

Where's my pic? let me try againhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1548871448.jpg

My trash can is actually up top. All three of his are in front of my house which I always have to pick up or roll it back every Tuesday back onto his side along with some of his trash that get dumped out by trash truck Someone walks by and trips over his cans, they may sue my ass?:o

suddenly, I lost the ability to post pictures?

try clearing your cache

Nope, not me. I live 20 miles outside of Calgary on 160 acres. My closest neighbor’s house is 3/4 of a mile away. It will be at least 50 years before the city grows out to my back yard...

SmileWavy

Don’t put them back

Move them one house further down hill ;)

Thought bout' that, but they all have these Ring door bells. I will be the bad guy.

Dress up like your neighbour! :D

Dress up as his wife!
