That dog will always be Looter to me. People are ing idiots.

Glad Looter is OK.

That would drive me crazy, too. When I was a teenager, my grandmother was visiting and on a particularly rainy night, for no particular reason at all, she went out to her car and left the front door wide open. Our Irish Setter bolted for the door, leaving me to go chase, in the rain, late in the evening, having been through 2-a-days that morning and needing to be back at school for a 7 am practice the following morning. I got in a really, really brisk 3 mile run chasing the dog and then about a mile-long 70-pound-dog-carrying effort to get back home. I gave my grandmother an earful when I got home.

I can only imagine how enraged I might have been if able-bodied workmen had created that kind of situation.

I don't so much mind that workers occasionally have to come on to my property to do things; that's life in the suburbs. But what pisses me off is the thought that all of the precautions I might take to protect my dogs could be offset by the laziness of a worker who just refuses to put things back where he found them before the work began. That's complete absurdity.

its texas you can shoot people when they are on your property without your permission

I can't tell but I hope you are being sarcastic because that is not the case.

And Kori, no offense but do you live in the ghetto? You only answer your door if someone calls first?

But back to the topic at hand I would definitely be going over to the neighbors and giving them an earful. Plus contacting the contractors.

[Kori Ellis]

LOL .. no I don't live in the ghetto. I live on the far NW side. I just don't answer the door because of too many solicitations.

[Blake]

You only answer your door if someone calls first?

I do the same.

Any time the door bell rings and we aren't expecting any one, it can't be anyone we want to see.

[EricB]

No freakin' idea.

This is the second time. Last time the neighbors on the other side were having some cable issues. We woke up one morning and the workers were inside our backyard setting up bright orange neon flags everywhere and putting down orange lines in our yard. I asked WTF, and they said, "We might have to dig." I said, "You can't just bust in our yard and start working" and they said, "Sorry, we are just contractors going by instructions.. someone should have told you."

Thats when I would've gotten names and an attorney called and supervisors would've been nailed to a damn door.

Unacceptable for someone to violate someone's private property like that.

GTG after they got the dog

"Hey looter"

:laughter:

poor kori drowned out by the laughter

"ITS DEUCE!"

[mookie2001]

choderegulators neighbors own his ass
they wont let him drink beer or bbq in his backyard

or put his radio on like quarter volume

[mookie2001]

i always answer the door, if i were going to break into someones house or go on their property, i would knock on the door first to see if anyone was home.

[SnakeBoy]

I had a similar thing happen except it was the guy I called to fix my well. He said he'd be there in the afternoon but instead came really early and just went in the back, did his work, and left without closing the gate. When my wife got up she let the dogs out. Luckily when she was going to work she spotted them running around the neighborhood. Anyway, I keep a lock on my gate now so it won't happen again.

On my gate:

Yeah it was so funny that people were actually sending me PM's cussing me out for not "listening to the forum" about naming my dog.

I've been thinking of investing in cameras myself. Of all things, had to buy a new sprinkler. Someone has even stolen the washers out of my garden hoses. Piddlyass , but it's the principle. I want to know who to file a police report against.

On my gate:

Shouldn't have to.

[urunobili]

I would have done 3 4 different things... here the list:

1) after they left the bricks and they left i would have put them indoors and then repeatedly not answer the door bell.
2) after you detect the damage done to the back i would have taken pictures and called an attorney
3) after they say something like "they should have sent you an email" i would have shown the man why in the US you are allowed to have guns and tell them to stay away from your property unless they bring the necessary do ents stating that they can do such thing
4) sue the out of them

[sabar]

Pad lock on my gate. Thug kids hang out in this alleyway next door, don't trust them at all. Gate is the only thing separating my pets from becoming road kill.

[angel_luv]

I am glad Deuce is safe Kori. Sorry to hear about how you had to deal with him being let out. I know it was upsetting to find him gone.

Sad the stupid people will steal isnt it?

I should have just left your ass downtown to prevent you from slandering my good name. Or just gotten the cops atttention that was sitting in his car one block down.

[Slydragon]

Pitbull would have kept them out of the backyard.

[redskinfan]

You need to answer the door, It would suck if something happened to a neighbor and they needed you for an emergency and you dont answer door, kind of ty..also if you have any utilities located in back yard like cable terminal, phone terminal or CPS terminal it is their property and they have a right to get to it. They knocked and you failed to get out of bed is not their fault. Answer the door next time because you never know....
