I'm so excited that a house is finally being built behind me. That lot has been empty since 2000/2001. The house that was there before burn down twice. The first was arson, the second, homeless people trying to cook, re-burned it. The people who had it, or I should say, the man, was never a good neighbor. He was a little bit mental (drug use would be my best bet) and was incapable of picking good roommates. They also would be drug users and would renege on paying the rent. THREE times I caught him out there after the sun had set, trying to attach his own electrical line, as he was so far behind in payments the power company had removed their line, (and because he was reconnecting it on his own). His roommates apparently were hiding their drugs in my shed. I kept finding stuff moved around, but nothing taken. I tied the door shut with string and as far as I know, that stopped. One day I realized my side gate was open. I asked Mrs. S about it. She said it had been open for three days, ever since that man being chased by the police had ran up to it , open it and disappeared into my backyard. She said the police went up onto the walls to check out my yard since I was not home and they could not enter my property without a warrant.
Finally, one of his roommates got pissed at him and set the living room on fire. I thought that would be the end of my problems with that house, but it wasn't. I can only hope, the new people will be better. However it has occurred to me, (faced it I AM a paranoid) that the people I have been hearing have been the new owners checking me out, as a determent to their new property values. Time will tell. But I should clean up the backyard anyway.
