Ongoing situation.
I will start this off by saying; Yes, I have cameras. Yes they caught her. The reason I didn’t bother checking them when the alert on my phone went off, is because this happened around the time another guy on my street normally goes on his daily run. And no, I’m not part of any HOA. I am primarily noting all of this as an extra layer of documentation.
Today I came home from work on my break, and caught a woman screwing with my gate lock, trying to gain entry to my back yard. Now, I have a girlfriend who has two kids that live with me, and two dogs, so I do not screw around with people I don’t know trying to gain entry to any part of my property for any reason. Seeing her doing this as I was pulling into the driveway that connects to my backyard gate, I pulled my truck right up to her and got out, gun holstered but holster opened. (Leather holster with buttoned flap)
She was quick to explain that she was part of an HOA and that she was attempting to perform an investigation. I basically told her that I was not part of her HOA and to get off my property, or the police would be called. She begrudgingly complied. After attempting to argue with me.
Edit, since I’ve already had two people tell me to report it to the police, but I forgot to put it on here: I already did. Had em meet me down where I work since I do work close to home, I gave them a copy of the footage and was told “We’ll look into it.” Which in their native language roughly translated, generally means “We ain’t gonna do shit.”
