CFery to end all CFery

I have posted on here before about my CFery neighbours, and all have agreed with me, but today takes the Biscuit. The side of their conservatory overlooks our garden and they have small windows in it, high up. They have moaned about our plants (rose and buddliea) tapping the windows and we have kept them trimmed back. The woman now TOTALLY ignores us, she's a bit weird tbh, but if we meet she blanks us, fine by me. However she has become very friendly with a neighbour across the street whom we talk to occasionally. Let's call her Carol. Carol knocked on our door and said 'I see you have a rose in your garden. Could I have the rose hips to make jam?' We thought it a little odd but agreed and left the gate open for her as we were both WFH. Heard her gathering the hips and my DH glanced out of the window to see Carols partner crossing the road back to their house with a long piece of rose bush in his hand. Carol then rings the bell and shows me the rose hips, telling me what she would do with them. DH then tells me about the partner and the bit of rose bush. We go out the check and can see where he's cut a branch off, the one that would be tapping against the neighbours conservatory window! The CF neighbour got them to come around under some spurious pretext and cut branches off our bloody rose bush!!! I am so pissed off I won't be able to sleep tonight. Any suggestions as to what I can do? Lighthearted (or not)

Start playing Wuthering Heights at full blast at the stroke of midnight and tap the window at the bit where Kate wails "let me in at your window-oh-oh-oh"... with a baseball bat.

😂😂

Don’t tap the window with a baseball bat or broom handle, use something scrapey like a back scratcher or lawn rake, to make a really terrifying noise Grin

Seriously though, definitely speak to Carol and her partner. Saying they were collecting rosehips and then cutting branches off your rose bush is seriously out of order, whether someone put them up to it or not.

Update: today I took a parcel in for CF neighbour and DH and I were guessing who would come to collect it, would she send her DH or her DS (both of whom are still polite). DH went to put recycling out and came back chuckling. 'She sent her DH didn't she?' I asked. 'Nope' he laughed 'she sent Carol' 😂😂😂 you couldn't make this up...
