In reply to the discussion: Any weird neighbor stories? [View all]hunter
(40,661 posts)We did have a neighbor who shot her boyfriend in the leg with his own gun.
He ran out of the house naked and bleeding and ducked out behind the firetruck with the paramedics, firefighters, and cops.
The woman eventually came out of the house without the gun and surrendered. My guess is she stopped to put some clothes on. Shortly after she moved away or went to jail. I don't know.
But that's not the weird neighbor, just a domestic dispute. It's the guy who lives across the street. He was so disturbed by the event he immediately installed a security camera aimed at the quarrelsome couple's house. It's a rental house, and yes, other curious things have happened there, but the family who lives there now is nice. The camera across the street is just creepy.
Previously we lived in a rough neighborhood and had a next door neighbor who had filled his backyard with used car parts. He'd stand out there wearing only his bathrobe, not tied up around him, surveying his treasure. When he had to pee, he'd just pee. Our kids were not tall enough to see over the fence, unfortunately, I was.
