Night Elf Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 What exactly are they trying to see?

delaney Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 is that even legal?? That's a good question. But you know she has called the police so many times on the neighbors around her that even they cringe to have to come up here. She has 4 false house alarms in the past few months that I am sure they are charging her for as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Oh! I would have so much fun with that! I would have the kids walk by every 15 minutes and wave.

Snickerdoodle Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Why is she doing this? How do you know she didn't just put the camera up there out of the reach of her kids or something? What's the backstory? :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misidawnrn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Make signs that say "just did the dishes" "all my laundry is folded" "making a cake" "shaved my legs" "scooped the cat poop" "called grandma" etc. etc. etc and change them every 15 minutes:lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaddon Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I would get out my muzzle loader and clean it :lol:. She would probably die. But I live in the country and don't have to worry about that. Guess that's a good thing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoObvious Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think you should start walking around naked. Then, you can call the police and let them know that she has been videotaping you naked!! :) What a nut case! I seriously would have some fun with it though. Then maybe she'd realize how crazy she is being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Have you posted about her before?

Do you ever see family coming over to help her or make sure she is taking her meds?? Maybe you could make a sign reminding her to take her meds every day?! That is creepy and strange. We have a creepy and strange neighbor, too... She is agoraphobic, severely depressed, with a host of other issues. She was my "project" neighbor for a while (you know, kill her with kindness) but the issues just spiraled out of control - she is really out there, and is fairly hostile now. I wouldn't be surprised to see a video camera pointed at our house now! If she did it, I think we'd have to have some fun... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I know that I will come across as a wet blanket but she sounds mentally ill and I think it is mean to make fun of her.

Education Explorers Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If you don't want to taunt her from your window, what about using some of the room divider advice. Go by some cheap PVC or dowel rods, make an upside down "U" shape and hang a tarp across it on your side of the property line. That way you still get light from your window, but she can't tape you and yours. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer3141 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 First call would be to the police to find out if her videotaping YOUR property is legal. If it is, I would be on the search for the biggest, nastiest poster of the most disgusting naked guy I could find. Are there any posters from the guys from "Deliverance?" What about the Baron Harkonnen from the first "Dune" film? Although a mirror is rather clever... What a complete whacko though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 She hides in the house all day. She also told the police that she thinks we have listening device that allows us to hear into her house. :bigear: Oh, poor thing. I am giggling a little at some of the suggestions (love the update signs!), but she sounds like she's not mentally stable. Must be difficult to live next to, though. The camera is too much. Maybe you should call the police just to find out if it's legal, and put up a curtain. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you still get light from your window, but she can't tape you and yours. I like this idea. I agree with the "don't taunt her, she's mentally ill" camp. I would probably just block the view (e.g. with a tarp as above), call the police to make sure the camera is legal, and carry on with life.

Cat This is the best answer. :) But, in one of those stranger-than-life situations, you'd probably need to check that hanging a tarp is legal, too. (Depending on where you live.)

Danestress Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Maybe I am not understanding what's happening here. It seems to me that a very weird, paranoid woman has installed a "security camera" in her window. Even though that seems very strange, and I wouldn't like it if I lived in the camera's range, I am thinking it has to be legal to put cameras around your house for "security." Right? Security cameras are pretty much every where in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflections Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'd be worried. What will she try next? What will she do when she is repeatedly not satisfied with the outcomes of calling the police? She could become so frustrated that she acts desperately - imo. While all of these suggestions made me giggle - they also made me cringe. I wouldn't antagonize a crazy person. I'd quietly consult with a lawyer. You want a written record. Also, what is this camera pointing at? Your bedroom? Your child's bedroom?? Don't ignore your intuition. Protect you and yours. Build a fence. But, it's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I would call the police. That is like voyerism or something isn't it? I would be freaking out to be honest. A security cam is one thing my dad has had those but you cannot just aim one into ones window. If she is that mentally ill I would be afraid of what she is going to do. Alot of illnesses can cause violent behaviors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunrose Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 My mom and dad used to live next to drug dealers. They also cooked Meth. Ugh. Anyway..they had a surveillance camera on the side of their house pointed at my parents (I'm sure I killed a kitten there but I don't much care right now..lol) house. My mom could walk to the mailbox and that thing would follow her from her house to the mailbox and back. It was remote controlled. The cops were watching them close...they often used my parent's property to do sting work to try to catch them. My parents moved away (for obvious reasons) so I'm not sure what came of that.

Melissa in Australia Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 we had a neighbour like that once. My DH was injured at work, and had to go on Workers Compensation. Our neighbour spied on him for over a year. Someone from the insurance company thought they were giving us a tip and told us we should put lots of fertilizer on the trees on the fence-line, But we already knew she was doing it. As soon as The would step out the door, she would stand at her window watching him. Sometimes she would stand right next to the fence and stare at him. If I saw her I would go outside and wave to her. Our properties are on 5 acres, so the houses have a little space between. About 3 years later, when they were shifting Her husband came over and apologised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I wouldn't give a hoot what she got on tape.

While it is pretty bizzaro-funny that she would stoop to this, I'ver heard recently about a man at my dh's work that thought he was being "surveiled" by his co-workers...and eventually snapped and attacked his family.

khall Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 While it is certainly strange that she has a video camera pointed at your house, I just wanted to point out that from her point of view, it might be just as strange that you've taken a photo of her house and posted it on a message board.
