My night time operations have certainly caused grief to the family, and they spent the day yelling at the dog trying to get it to stop barking.
I made it a point to enter my back yard and spend a few minutes walking around every 30 minutes or so throughout the day. Between various tasks. Causing it to bark.
I also took a bluetooth speaker and put it near the fence line and played WHO LETS THE DOGS OUT WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF loop for 28 minutes. 30 minutes is against the law, but 28 minutes is cool.
Later I got a string trimmer and was trimming some the edges of my lawn and heard a knocking on the fence. I came up and the grandmother started berating me for playing the music, talking about how they've been here 40 years. I said I don't care how long you've been here. You're ruining my quality of life. And your grandson is being aggressive and issuing threats. She responded, yeah and you were talking back to him. I told her I'll talk as I please especially from my own property.
If you followed the previous thread you know that yesterday I had sent a cease and desist letter via postal mail listing a log of incidents wherein they violated county code, state code, and animal control codes. As well as the damages I was incurring ( Sleep deprivation, Inability to peacefully enjoy my property, Mental suffering and emotional distress, Business income reduction due to decreased productivity, Diminished quality of life). And that my intent is that if within 7 days they do not abate the noise I will seek restitution for damages, initiate civil proceedings, and file formal complaints with code enforcement.
Anyway, back to the grandmother. I told her, I'm not arguing with you, I sent you a letter you should be receiving it. And she started being belligerent challenging me OK SEND IT OK SEND IT.
I walked away from her while she was still screaming and continued trimming.
Then I went to take a nap in preparation for my AM psychological operation of simply standing in my back yard while the dog barks, slinking off when they wake up to shut it up, and repeating the action 15 minutes later just as they lie down and enter their first sleep cycle.
However, something interesting happened.
Mail is delivered at 4-6pm. That was my nap time. When I woke up I walked out to my back yard and there was no barking. The dog is gone.
Primary objective achieved:- Dog is no longer barking.
Secondary objectives achieved:- Resolved the matter without involving zog resources.
- Demonstrated my power level.
Diplomatic Fallout- Those neighbors probably hate me now. I hope they can, in retrospect, understand that my approach was patient (2 weeks since this started), polite, and lenient. I also understand that they are subhumans scum who will likely see themselves as victims. But, perhaps, this gave the grandfather an out for kicking out his grandson or just the dog as it did not seem he wanted the dog there in the first place.
Furthermore,
I now have a badass security camera in my back yard with zone alarms and AI processing. So if a human hops the fence its going to warn me with a siren and a phone notification giving me a chance to respond to territorial incursions.
