and take away their chain link fencing, so that I have more room for my caravan? They rent off the council and I own my own home.

I own my house and there's a thing in the deeds that says we're not allowed to have a caravan on the driveway. Everyone ignores it though. Hope you get it sorted, OP, your neighbours are unbelievable.

shocking behaviour by her boyfriend.

thismumismad · 26/08/2012 11:07

I have just had the pcso come round. They have had a word with them next door. They came back to me saying it looks like a breakdown of communication, and it was not done maliciously they thought they were doing me a favour. They are going to put a new fence up. The police have said they will get in touch with my housing officer and go from there. As I know my HO has already taken pictures and of course I have my own, I can now get rid of the rubbish they left.

Yes dicks like that are convinced they are doing you a favour.

OhDearNigel · 26/08/2012 11:52

simple case of criminal damage and theft. report to the police

thismumismad · 26/08/2012 12:12

I've had to call those officers back, as the boyfriend has been shouting and swearing at us from the street on the other side of our hedge. I got most if it recorded though :)

They were doing you a favour by removing your fence and claiming your land for their caravan? Hmm

MrsJREwing · 26/08/2012 12:23

well done getting it recorded. weirdo bloke your neighbour has shacked up with, a charmer eh!

MammaTJisanOlympicSumoWrestler · 26/08/2012 12:26

Glad you have it recorded. Harrassment especially after a complaint has already been made is a very serious matter.

pictish · 26/08/2012 12:29

How the hell were they doing you a favour by cutting down your hedge, removing your fence, and parking their caravan in front of your house??!!

What???

Sallyingforth · 26/08/2012 12:39

I fear this will run and run. Good luck OP.
Don't forget to check with the council on Tuesday about the planning regs for their ex-council houses.

cocolepew · 26/08/2012 12:59

Bloody hell, some people Shock! Doing you a favour my arse.

TidyDancer · 26/08/2012 13:07

Fuck me what were they thinking?!

Good luck OP, sounds like you are living next door to a pair of cunts.

travailtotravel · 26/08/2012 13:23

Oh god, imagine if they put the fence back the absolute idiots - they'd probably neatly box their caravan in and put a gate to get easier access.

What nobbers, and I am so sorry OP as i know from experience how traumatic this kind of stuff can be. Even if they are in the wrong, its terrible to sort it out and be abused like you are. So glad you sound strong and resolute.

Keep us informed. we're all on your side

GhostShip · 26/08/2012 18:19

I actually can't believe this. I wish I lived there they'd be moving out within the week the fucking idiots.

'breakdown in communications'. What complete balls and the PCSO should have know this.

spongebrainfatpants · 26/08/2012 19:53

Bloody hell.

Do you want me to come around and key the caravan. And the boyfriends face.

What a dreadful thing to do.

Good luck to you. Stay strong.

HermioneE · 26/08/2012 20:37

doing you a favour yeah right!!

When it gets replaced, make sure your landlord is there with a tape measure to ensure he still has every centimetre of his land and preferably a few of theirs

caramelwaffle · 26/08/2012 22:30

Good luck with everything.

How can I see photos ?

Brigante9 · 08/11/2022 22:57

Doing you a favour by chopping down your hedge, removing your fence and taking some of your land? Batshit. Keep your cool, OP, what he’s done is criminal damage. Keep talking to your landlord.
