i hate the people who live down the street..

I like that idea too! you can get some really good security cam systems at micro center! I would worry about your doggies they could let them loose.. <_<.... >_> you could get an electrified fence!

no they couldnt get near my male GSD, trust me! only way they could get near him is if they shot him or poisoned him! he's not an outside dog, only time hes out is when hes going to the bathroom or when we're playing with him or when we're on our swing.

this is my apollo, this is what someone would see if they messed with me, my fiance, her daughter, our car (if he was in it lol) and if they tried to come inside. i feel completely safe with him around!





our other GSD barks like she would kill someone but would never bite, she's an old girl we rescued a few months ago. heres a pic of her taken the day after we brought her home, we put her on a long line as we didn't know if she would run away. shes on the left and all her teeth are broken off

video recording is the way to go. Bait a trap for them etc, and gives you peace of mind. Ideally, have the recording be somewhere safe, that way if anyone spots the camera and takes it out at least you have video of that as well.

Hire a lawyer, the violation of the restraining order is SERIOUS and I can't believe the judge just ignored that.

yup the judge completely ignored it! not one word was said about the date she moved onto my street (and being only 5 houses down on this cramped street is way less than 300 ft)

the only camera I have is my digi cam, ive thought about sitting in my car but her popping up into our driveway is very random. Ive seen some cams on ebay but I dont know the first thing about hooking them up and being able to record what the cam picks up

Go to Radio Shack, and ask the people there about the cameras.
Once you have a camera on the driveway, wait. Get plenty of footage of damage to the cars(all of it could be the daughter instead of lori) and then go to the cops. If the cops do not satisfy you in their response, go get a lawyer, and sue them. Sue them hard. In the course of that, they should move away, to hide from the lawyer stuff that will fall out. Make sure when you go to the cops or a lawyer that you take ALL the paperwork from all previous incendants. You saying "last year she did xxx" doesn't hold as much clout as "Here's the police report.. here's the court's decision.."
Good luck. Ignoring it without responding is better than shouting back etc., mainly because you do NOT want it to escalate with small children in the crossfire, and if you respond, then it's just fighting between two sets of folks(in the eyes of the cops).
Get the cameras(they are not that expensive when you consider how much damage has cost you so far...) and get some recorded evidance.

http://www.x10.com/wireless_cameras/...s_cameras.html - $80 shipped for everything you need minus the recorder, including a color wireless video camera, motion detector and VCR control. I have the older model in my snake room and it works great.

I'd spend my evenings under the car with a tazer and a blackjack, waiting for one of them to come back. With all the complaints you've made, it will be really easy to convince the cops it was self defense. Just sayin.

im so upset right now im shaking!

my mother & fiance were followed tonight by lori. my mother finally witnessed it for herself. My mom and fiance wanted McD's so they went for a late run. so off they went.

lori had completely turned onto the street heading to her house as my fiance was pulling off our street headed to McD's.

next thing she knows, lori is behind her. lori was heading home!

my fiance & mother pulled into mcD's and to the right of mcD's is a gas station, thats where lori parked and stared at them the whole time. she didn't get out of her car at all.

now had this of happened in the day, i wouldnt think too much of it, but its after midnight and she was headed home, she had already made the turn onto our street as my fiance was turning off our street. then she apparently whipped around and caught right up to them. and she did not buy gas or go into the store at all! what was the need to whip around, drive behind my fiance and then park in a gas station right next to where they were if she didnt need anything from the store? (gas station & McDs is so close, they have conjoined driveways)

we just called the police, a lot of help they are! they said "theres probably nothing they can do but will call us back, i have to look into a couple things" he said.

im so sick of this! This (female dog) needs to grow up, put her big girl panties on and get over it!

the cops and judge will wait until something happens to my family before they do something about this.. i feel like im watching a movie!

could you possibly PM me w/ instructions on how you hooked yours up? where do I get a recorder? does the camera work in low light? as it sometimes takes a few seconds for the motion light to come on. I have no idea how this stuff works!!! we're going to have to buy a camera, we're tired of living in fear and never having concrete proof the cops or judges need.

im shaking right now! my mother is older, she now lives on her own as when she got divorced a few yrs ago, she moved in the same duplex as us. shes now afraid. hopefully they dont know shes my mom and will leave her alone. but shes still afraid and we're obviously afraid.

i dont know where we will come up with the money for the camera, but we're going to have to find a way!

cops called back, shes talking to them right now, the cop said if the judge grants a restraining order or stalking order, more than likely she wont be made move!

i feel like crying

wow, i cant imagine going through that, I wish you the best of luck, your handling it alot better than i would of. I would of hired someone to beat them sensless by now.

please keep us updated...

ok ive read all these posts and im ready to come down and put said [female dog] in her place. I'd be a good opponent being 6' 4" and 275 pounds lol. But in all serious im very sorry this has happened to you. i would be sitting in my yard with a gilli suit on and when ever she came into the yard id pop her with a BB gun. hehehe. I think your best bet is to take pics when you see her out there or get a video camera. I hope justice is served and your family is safe. -Josh

well trust me, I'm trying my hardest to keep my cool with all of this. I keep telling myself it's NOT worth it. we are planning to go to court, but we want to talk to a lawyer first. the cop even told us to talk to a lawyer. just sucks as we struggle just paying bills, never mind all this extra stuff we will need to pay for.

hopefully my fiances car will sell and we will have money then. but once her car is gone, then my car will be the only target. and again, i dont even know these people! Im just involved by proxy I guess you could say. I've never even said 1 word to lori! and let me tell you............ ive thought about it!!!!!

as for putting her & her daughter in their place, I wish I could just let my dog patrol the yard as I know it would keep them out but that would put him in danger. and again the land lord is always around. and not to mention the 16 y/o daughter is very pregnant. the first time the daughter was caught in our yard this spring, she literally refused to leave, she was taking pics w/ her cell phone of her car!

fiance "what are you doing?"
daughter "taking pictures"
fiance "why?"
daughter "none of your business"
fiance "get outta my driveway!!"
daughter "dont (beeping) talk to me like that!"
fiance "get the (beep) outta MY driveway"
daughter "no, I dont have to do nothing!"
fiance "get out of my (beeping) driveway or im calling the cops"

she left and thats when I happened to pull up, I seen the daughter & her boyfriend running away.

the cops tonight told my fiance that they will give her print ups of the police reports that we've made. I just wish we would of called the cops EVERY time something happened. It would of been better documented w/ dates & times.

I will be on red alert on cabbage night & halloween lemme tell ya!
