My family and I have suffered at the hands of persons like this many times, they seem to think they just have the right to take your plants, your fruit and your vegetables as they please. <br /><br />I hope you had no further problems with her and she and her no class family subsequently left you and your property in peace.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775754793487333537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-69358876219279010832009-12-01T13:19:39.281-04:002009-12-01T13:19:39.281-04:00Dear Helen, it was lucky that you caught her red-h...Dear Helen, it was lucky that you caught her red-handed. I am amazed at how thick skinned she got by not admitting to her mistake and yet turned around and called you a thief. If she had apologized, I believe you would have let her go and forgive her this time. Hope the thief's niece will not learn to steal from her aunt.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10904882913688765735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-23045472866164359022009-11-29T02:10:23.601-04:002009-11-29T02:10:23.601-04:00I wouldn't want to live with such a neighbour....I wouldn't want to live with such a neighbour.

(Granted, it was nice compost-y dirt that I had bought for some beds.) Good luck with your situation. I hope you can come up with an economical solution for your fence. You've probably scared her for a while at least.<br /><br />btw, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend Claudia.

I cant believe the blatant bold-faceness of the woman, talk about wrong and strong!<br /><br />Although, such a property unfenced in Trinidad would have been prey to much more wrongdoing than one annoying nieghbor, as I am sad to say we have more than our fair share of 'opportunists' to put it mildly.<br /><br />I hope the fencing works out and soon for your peace of mind.raxx a day in the lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162824797343102963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-2122143203286422122009-11-17T16:28:35.551-04:002009-11-17T16:28:35.551-04:00Helen,

The real crime is the damage to your trust of others and you having to put up a fence to regain your sense of security. I always thought it sad to ride in Miami and see all the homes encased in bars like a giant cage. Anyway on the bright side I love your blog and your beautiful island.sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-87981675980681589612009-11-16T23:31:45.252-04:002009-11-16T23:31:45.252-04:00Gosh I would have reacted the same way!

Moreover, those orchids have been with you for a long time already right?
