To hate hate my neighbour

[dublingirl66]

Hello all

We live in a quiet area
Very little happening

My neighbour was a quiet man who get ill and is sadly now in a care home
Before he went to the care home his family got a grant to do his house up
Now - his nephew has moved in
His nephew who spent 10 years in jail for making bombs (well known case in the area)
Awful I know i am being unkind he just makes my skin crawl
Today he has decided to spend all day burning tyres in his garden tyres?! Like why not take to the skip?
Sorry for rant
I just need to get it out somewhere
My family not happy but they just say nothing

[quote Notredamn ]I'm always reminded of MN's middle/upper class audience on these threads. Like everyone is in a position to simply move. If moving were no biggy then no one would ever complain about shitty neighbours as they'd be too busy packing and making preparations to uproot! [/quote]
So agree!

I moved once because of drug dealing happening on my doorstep. Sold the house at a ridiculously low price (made no money on it at all). It was not an easy thing to do. I want to move from where I am now but because of what happened before I can't afford it.

@dublingirl66

I fled D V with a newborn to here And really it has just been heavenly in many ways

Why do people burn tyres? The mess it has made is just truly awful why not take to skip I never got that

They do it because used tyres are an environmental hazard and therefore council tips and recycling centres will charge them money to dispose of them.

Mine on one side are utter arseholes....but nowhere near as bad as this, we’re moving partly because of it. I don't love the house and life is too short.

Ok he doesn,t sound like a nice piece of work and the rubber burning is gross, but there is nothing personal here that he has said or done to yo in fact you say he has demonstrated friendly behaviour. I would keep a low profile and look for somewhere to move, regarding burning tyres contact the landlord.

Ideas did your aunt ever regret it? I love my house but have really begun to hate the area......

No: she was a broken woman by the time she moved. Just regretted not doing it sooner.

Ah was taking anti depressant and sleeping tablets by the end. It was all she could talk about or think about.

She isnt wealthy, and it was a big decision for her. But in the end her health had to come first.

You can find out who owns it by checking the Land Registry if you don’t know the landlord. I would definitely contact him/her and complain lots!

YANBU

Holy crap
Ok did not know that
Ughhh

Will keep quiet
Don't want to get on the wrong side of him
Who knows what he could put under my car 😳😳😳😳

If she's in Dublin she'd have to have deep pockets to just up and move. FFS, some of you don't live on Planet Reality.

At least he doesn't play trance music and have bass thumping all night long. DH and I lived next to some speedhead who did this. Fucker.

He sounds very disturbed his family obviously glad he isn't living with them. But he appears to be checking out how much he can get away with. You really don't need this after all you've been through and I hope you get help from the landlord and police he is breaking pollution laws.

Get a group of all the neighbours on WhatsApp (for eg) and of anything happens all report it anonymously online. Sticking together must help x

Everytime anything happens phone the police. It won't cause trouble for you because he won't know it's you. If he has a criminal record and the police keep having to be called out for him then the problem might end up resolving itself.

I'd be weary of starting thread if he is well known for a crime and has been threatening neighbours.

Sorry you might already know this but in case you don't, 'weary' means tired; 'wary' means cautious.

Weary
Wary

Anyway details were changed so As not to put myself

Will survive
Keep windows shut and pray he is locked up again
Furious at the threats for another neighbour that has really got to me today must say

The Fair Deal Scheme only comes into play if you're a house owner. Or the Unfair Deal as I call it. Do you know if the Uncle was renting from a Council or Housing Body or if its privately rented? It sounds like this fella wouldn't be the type to pay rent anyway. So maybe he'll be evicted if the ban on evictions is ever removed.

It is no longer a “safe haven”.
Moving isn’t easy or inexpensive, but it might become necessary very soon.

Yeah... I personally wouldn't feel bad for judging someone or thinking "Why here? Why me?" when they moved in next door if they'd been in prison for building bombs. I can't imagine many people wanting him for a neighbour.

It does seem wise to stay under his radar, but I'd report him anonymously any time he gives you a good reason. If you are able to do it anonymously, that is...

I know

Let's see what happens
Not been seen all day since police visit earlier
Surely he may have broken some of the conditions of his release??
Who knows

Keeping schtum

Think he is back in jail

Not been seen for three days and we had police up and down prior to this
Sad for his family

Glad for me
Selfish I know :/

Great to read OP.

Good riddance 👏

Fingers crossed

No stupid me
He is still around

And

My neighbour knocked on my door earlier to ask if I heard a small explosion earlier coming from his shed 😳😳😬
I wasn't here at the time

Want to report online annoymously
But been warned not to
Just really annoyed now about all this

Sad thing is he seems really vulnerable
Almost like he is being influenced by the wrong type
Crazy thing to say I know that 😢😢😢
