Fucking grrrr....

Well, after months of being a pain in the ass, it looks like my neighbor is finally starting to do things that are actively illegal.

Yesterday morning, I went outside and I found one of the mesquite trees bent. That's right. The tough guy who won't actually come over to start a fight (although he keeps trying to get me to go to his property to fight) and who goes out of his way to not be spotted when he starts in on his verbal abuse, will wait until the early morning hours to launch a manly attack on a defenseless tree.

What a putz. Fortunately he was too incompetent to actually damage the tree. Since it's young it wasn't actually hurt and I was able to straighten it out with a minimal amount of effort (heh, if only it was that easy to the same to people).

So, as you can imagine this has gotten me thinking about ways that I can improve my home's security and the overall safety of myself and my things. Mostly I'm considering putting up lights with motion sensors for the backyard and possibly the back gate/garage. I'm also going to start videotaping the feeds from the security cameras on a regular basis now. There's not a whole lot I can do right this moment about the tree thing because I didn't actually see him, but after Saturday's exchange, I think it's quite likely that he's the most likely culprit.

It's funny, but I can't help but hope that my neighbor (or whoever messed with the tree) gets a nice fat dose of payback for taking out his aggression on a helpless living thing. I just hope he doesn't progress to attacking anything else (like say Zhaan and Saks).
  • i'm sure if he does pull something between you, me and everybody on LJ, we can come up w/ a plan devious enough to make him regret every waking the dragon :-P
