We try very hard to respect the rights of our neighbors, and we hope that they do the same. It's not easy, but we believe in individual freedom.
Well, yes I agree with you and wish it had happened differently. However, I don’t hold it against the man, he was trying to sell his house.
A call to city hall to find out the owner and look up the phone number would have been possible, but I just said sorry, and he took my number and promised to call me first next time.
He never sold the house - bad market, but he has been quite friendly and helpful with watching the place since then. Alls well that ends well.
