What did they need access to your back yard for?
So...
This morning, our neighbors were having some kind of work done on their house. We hear our doorbell ringing but we don't answer it. (We don't answer the door unless someone has called first). So we hear all the banging/clamouring etc outside in their yard and think nothing of it, really.
Fast forward to this afternoon, we let our dogs go out in our backyard to go to the bathroom. About 10 minutes later, we call them inside. Deuce, the black lab, doesn't return. So I go look in the backyard... the gate is open, Deuce is gone.
*Mind you, I have bricks in front of the gate from the front side of the house, so that under no cir stances can Deuce get out. He's an escape artist.
So apparently, the workers that were working on the neighbors' house this morning, came over to my house, removed the bricks and came into my yard while we were asleep to do whatever they needed to do.
WTF? Who does this crap?
Then when they left... not only did they not put the bricks back but they didn't even close the gate all the way.
Anyway, I went running into the street screaming for Deuce. Some guy had stopped his car up the street and was holding Deuce there to stop him from sprinting away. (Thanks sir)
So when he sees me running around screaming, he yells to me and then sends Deuce my way.
We come back inside and all is well.
But WTF? People just come in your yard and do whatever you want because you don't answer the door???
If Deuce would have ran away permanently or something bad happened to him, I might have had to go crazy on those people.

Glad Deuce is okay.
I didn't think anyone could enter private property without permission unless it's the city with an emergency. I would have thought they'd have to leave you a note if you weren't home/didn't answer the door and not enter your yard until they had your permission.
I'd be pissed and want some answers.
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."
That's unacceptable...
and pisses me off....
You should get a private property sign... or one that says you'll shoot intrudors :P
I would be fired up and walked right on over to the neighbors
Yeesh!!! Usually work men are afraid of big dogs. I guess Deuce showed him what a friendly dog he was. Glad you got Deuce back safely, but I'd sure be demanding answers as to why they took the liberty to go in your back yard for whatever reason, with out your permission.
That dog will always be Looter to me. People are ing idiots.
Man I'm glad your pooch is okay! You should maybe put a padlock on your gate. I've had locks on my gates ever since a neighbor kid left our gate open. Luckily my dog was too scared to run away and just went around the house and took a nap by the front door.
Yes, it's trespassing to open a gate/door and enter the house/backyard. If the city enters, it better be a real emergency.
..and if something had happened to the dog, Kori of course could sue for damages....
....and if a car hits the dog, swerves and hits a tree, then the driver can sue the person responsible for allowing the dog to run free.
its texas you can shoot people when they are on your property without your permission
they are supposed to get your permission first. workers or not.
Probably a cable easement......we have one in our backyard for cable and electricity so those punctual installers can enter into our backyard every-time a neighbor wants to add the playboy channel or they need more power for the local growing lamps...
First of all, I'm glad the Deuce is home safe and nothing happened to him.
Secondly, I would have gone off like fireworks on the 4th of July. Kudos to you for having the self control I would have lacked.
Glad Deuce is safe. But I would demand answers from your neighbors. They won't be your neighbors for much longer huh?
Do you have a Zero Property line?
if so they do have a 5'-0" Maintenance variance access
Looter will always find a way to escape if given an opportunity. He probably went to jail a time or two when he was in NOLA, so its in his blood to know how to get out.
Oh ya and this is another thing that annoys me about my house on the northside.
I have that stupid utility box in my back yard. Its annoying as .
On the southside, where I grew up, there is an alleyway where the utility boxes are.
Of course now the idiot neighbors on the other side, have decided to fence in the alleyway, to give them a larger backyard, which is a recent in the last 5 year phenomena that would annoy me to no end if I still lived there.
Have an alleyway for 20 years, then all of a sudden randomly get rid of it when you build on a vacant lot and see the alleyway in use. I should go look at the plat for the neighborhood and see what it says. Mine for that matter too
It trespassing plain and simple. I wouldn't sit on this. I'd contact the neighbor and the company that entered your property without permission.
When Kori said the guy was "holding Duece" my first intial reaction was ohh no, the dog got ran over or something.
Must have been those guys joechalupa hired.
do like my step father... lock everything with heavy duty pad locks. it's the only way!
Argh, that would have pissed me off. Glad your dog is okay.
get drunk and set the neighbor's house on fire. That will teach them to hire assholes...
