An anonymous resident has shared how the trail camera installed on their property has left their neighbour threatening violence.
While neighbours from hell are an unfortunate part of life, the threat to « shoot down » the change made to the outside of the home has left one member of the public horrified.
Others were equally disturbed by the threat, which was shared to the r/NeighboursfromHell Reddit page by a concerned resident who wanted to know what they could do to make peace with their neighbour.
It seems an unlikely outcome though as the neighbour from hell has threatened to call the police and even suggested acts of violence should the property be changed again.
The camera mount seems to be the offending item, but the resident is flat out refusing to take it down.
They explained: « I set up a trail camera on my own property facing down my public road. I live in the mountains and I set up a trail camera on my own private property very low facing down the public road.
« I live in an area with a lot of coyote action and lately there have been two big guys playing in the road I would love to capture. My neighbour across the street saw me putting it up and lost his mind, told me to take it down immediately. He doesn’t want anything facing his house and if he sees it, he will call the cops or shoot it. It is (was) on a prop on my own property and very low.
« His tone and the way he talked to me was incredibly aggressive. I assured him the camera was not facing into his house, and I was doing it for the coyote and his temper got worse.
« Ended up taking it down, but what would you do in this situation? (Something to add he has multiple cameras and everyone on the street has ring cameras..) »
Despite the resident taking down the camera, members of the public are calling on the person to put them back up in the hopes of coaxing their neighbour from hell out.
One person wrote: « Put it back up with others, and one pointing at it to show him taking it down someday. That way you have proof for the cops. »
Another added: « Screw him. Put it right back up on your property where it was. In fact put up another trail camera overwatching that camera.
« And then another overwatching that one and the first one. Make it impossible for him to screw with your cameras without you catching it on video.
« On another note, tell the sheriff that you want him warned by an officer in person not to shoot at your property due to his recent verbal threat to do so.
« Unfortunately you cannot let that slide. He is threatening lethal force against your property which could endanger you or others. A stern talking to from the law should calm his nerves. »
