He mowed my lawn last summer without my permission, and in the process destroyed my 2 dog tie-outs. Hopefully wrecked his blade in the process. I don't use the tie-outs often, but they are helpful in certain emergency situations, one of which I had the next day. I suspect his real motive was to case my place. One of his friends wants to buy it for half its market value.
Oh, he also has attempted to set my horses loose by the side of a busy road. I found the gate pulled wide open and the horses cowering in the furthest corner of the pasture. Since they never hang out there (it's by a moose trail frequented by moose and coyotes), I'm pretty sure he attempted to chase them out the gate. I know it was him because he was mad at me for complaining the morning before after he started laying on his truck horn and swearing at the top of his lungs...at 4am several mornings running.
I also found a cigarette butt in the snow on the hillside behind my garage that overlooks my barn and paddock within 10 days of my having to put down my elderly gelding. I suspect he was trying to scope out where my boy was buried with the intent of complaining about it.
His 2 dogs were in my yard daily for 18 months, chasing me around my garden trying to bite me. I never complained about having to round them up for him. That didn't stop him from calling the cops on me when my goat slipped through the gate so she could graze in *my* side yard.
As a result of his prior behavior, he is the #1 suspect in the disappearance last summer of my $30 loppers from my garage.
Oh, but the house cleaner can swing by here one day, s'long as she does floors and windows, and doesn't break anything.
