More neighbour woes!

Stuff the bin lock DIY project, get yourself some CCTV as a project to do instead. Haven't read any other thread, and as no one has linked it, I'm too lazy to search! BUT this is like mind games, and going by other replies you obviously have neighbour/s that are "problematic"

Night vision CCTV recording film. It's not a few quid, but you can buy a decent system for a reasonable start up cost. When psyco neighbour hangs themselves on it, and it stops you should be able to sell parts on afterwards. Ideally you want front and back coverage, but decent coverage, as in video that looks like them, not some minecraft figure. Just because it's happening during the day time, don't expect it to not happen at night hence go for night vision too.

Just as an idea...my other half had had similar neighbor concerns and bought a small camera to monitor his drive. It's triggered by movement, so whenever said neighbor (or anyone else such as the postie) appeared on the drive it would record. It's nothing fancy, just a small indoor camera that sits on the windowsill inside and takes 8 photos once triggered. It proved quite useful as it had picked up someone on the drive at 01.30 one morning, and he was able to submit this to the police as evidence of unauthorised activity.

You can buy security lights with a built in camera that records onto an SD card, perhaps worth considering? That way you get an outside light to enjoy.

I'd be interested in something like either of these. Can you give some details - make, model, supplier?

I'd get cameras set up ASAP.

Until then, are you able to pretend to go out and sneak back in unseen? That might be quite revealing!

yes, someone is clearly taking the pee.
Keep a diary of what happens, when with photographs and if you report it: to whom, when, and get a reference number.

If you later have to take formal action you'll need this evidence to show a campaign of harassment.

Get those cameras up asap: invaluable for proof.

Google security light with camera, there's a huge range depending on your budget, and I''m not the best person to advise on this sort of thing.

There's a sub forum on Neighbours from Hell in Britain that deals with cameras and gadgets, well worth a read if you are thinking about using cameras to monitor your property. Here's the

In fact Aileth, it might be worth your registering on there and seeking their advice as to next steps, as stated above, you need to be squeaky clean in all this, and the folks on that forum have been dealing with this for years. A very useful place if you do have 'problematic' neighbours.

Thanks all, will be getting the CCTV sorted. We thought someone was trying to break in last night, it certainly sounded like it. Turns out next door came home drunk with a gang of wildlings. Pretty petryifying though.

I feel so much sympathy for you and your OH, Aileth; this is as horrible as it is bizarre.

I do agree that this sounds like some fairly calculated and devious "mind games" campaign. Things like the bins and the heathers - each in and of themselves relatively trivial but adding up to a level of stalker-like harassment. As others have said, if you have all these things in a diary (with photos of the heathers, etc.) they will add up to a clear campaign of nuisance and persecution against you.

It's mad - the chavvie woman sounds positively deranged with an obssession over annoying you. Just horrible.

Best wishes to you; just bide your time. She sounds quite capable of incriminating herself through her own stupidity.

Keep smiling! xxx
