Around the beginning of October someone threw a cement block and a piece of 4x4 fence post with cement attached to it over my privacy fence, that faces the alley way, well into my yard. In other words, they did not simply drop it over but heaved the heavy pieces a good distance in height and length. Sort of Olympic style. Also they hauled over a full 8' 4x4 fence post, also with a big glob of cement on one end, and threw/laid it in front of the gate. I assume they thought they were blocking me from opening the gate into the alley but luckily for me, the gate opens inward.
These pieces had been lying along the outside of my fence for a couple of months in order to protect it from yet another hit from a vehicle as has happened on at least two occasions. Sis surmises that possibly two drunk individuals had hit the pieces (instead of my fence) in the wee hours of the morning and were greatly pissed about damage to their vehicle. So heave they did (hopefully in more ways than one) and I can only guess their backs were hurting badly the next day.
Yesterday I asked my burly neighbor (who is constantly asking me if I need any help with anything) if he would place the pieces back into their original positions, thereby protecting my fence once again but possibly causing me hurt in the future when these individuals happen along again in the middle of the night. It had to be done though, as I cannot tolerate intimidation. So the pieces were replaced late yesterday.
Today this is what my horoscope reads: You might find yourself in the position to take advantage of another's generosity, but if you're really smart, you'll discard that idea. Later you'll be glad you did.
Too late.........
