See the bird water down again. Camera shows yet another dipshit has come inside my fence line (walking where I planted my flowers) to deliberately pour out the bird’s water and drop the containers on the ground.
Why can’t these idiots mind their own business and stay off my property? Moving it for now but they’ve already shown multiple times that they will come right onto the property if they feel like it.
No idea if the landlords will allow a temporary fence but I’m considering a birdbath that might be more specific in purpose (if not harder to topple). It won’t stop them. But maybe if the cops see them coming inside the property line and tipping a birdbath they might consider it vandalism.
(The people here have done so much worse but this is really pissing me off. You can’t have shit here, not even wildlife water or a couple of flowers.)
If temporary fencing just means those metal barriers with lumps of concrete on them to keep them stable, like the ones at construction sites, would they even be able to stop you?
I don’t see how it would be any different to putting the birdbath up in the first place. Unless you’re in a set of flats or something, or the front yard is shared/common property. I’m pretty sure the law specifically states you have “the right to quiet enjoyment of premises”, which, even if the landlord isn’t the one violating it, should mean you are allowed to take whatever steps reasonable and necessary to ensure that. I said should not does though
(Sorry if this is all obvious or you’ve already tried this. More of my 2c/what I’d try/do than trying to push you into anything)
Unfortunately the powers that be are neglectful at best and persecutory at worst. I could get done (again) for an unauthorised “fixture”. I’d probably cop it for the birdbath too despite it being within my property line cos that’s how they roll.
I could apply for a permit but these people are cooked and have the boundaries of a toddler. They would just jump it.
It’s a good idea though.
Sadly would just probably make my place/me more of a target
No more advice or ideas, just to reiterate I’m sorry you have to go through this. It’s a truly shitty situation, and I deeply hope things change for you and you’re able to find somewhere elsewhere that’ll be safer and more peaceful
You need a vent, I get that. I do feel bad that I can’t really help. I want to offer some support where I can, but I also don’t want to be the 50th person of the week to suggest doing x thing you’ve already tried a dozen times
FWIW, I read your other comment and I’m glad you feel comfortable venting here. I hope it helps at least a little to get it off your chest

Could be someone who doesn’t want wildlife hanging around rather than deliberate vandalism. It’s wrong that someone’s come onto your property though.
Unfortunately for them, the wildlife were already there and will be regardless of whether there’s water or not. They live in that tree.
Oh of course but idiots don’t know that. They probably think you’re encouraging them.
They do and I’m pretty sure I’m going to be harassed over it. Why not, I get harassed and attacked for existing here.
I generally try to be a decent person but have only contempt for this sort

Sorry you had to see it bro.
People think I’m such a chill pleasant person but… nah
