In the past 10 months or so, I have been using my floodlights on my home. These floodlight fixtures are builder standard and came with my house. Each home in our neighborhood has these standard floodlight fixtures, well some of our neighbors don't use them and leave them home in the dark at night. I use mine, my neighbor to the other side, and my neighbors across the street use their floodlights.
well, the past three months, I have had someone ring my doorbell at 830pm at night frantically. 8 or 9 doorbell rings, I come to the door, no one there. I thought it was a kids prank the whole time.
after five times of this happening over three months, I was upstairs and looked down at my front door and see my neighbor running back to his home. This man is in his late 40's to early 50's. I was shocked. There was no note left or anything. He hasn't said anything to me during the daytime. I let it go thinking no big deal. I figured he would talk to me later.
It was quiet for a few weeks. I noticed one of the two backyard floodlights were off, I go to check it. It was "loose". I tighten it back and it worked. Then a week later, I noticed the same floodlight was not working, It was loose, and I tighten it back and it works. Then another week later, I noticed it wasn't working again! So I got a ladder and put a new CFL floodlight on. Two nights later, the front door bell rang 8 or 9 times franctically. I run to the door and there is no one there.
My wife said she hears a banging sound and she is scared, so I go outside. there is no one there. Get this, today I cut the grass. The two floodlights are working. Well, one of them has been knocked off alignment. One of the two floodlights are beaming straight into the ground where a plant is. I'm upset about this. I talked to my other neighbor a minute ago, he said he hasn't heard anything about that guy. He said to notify the homeowners association or call the police. he said police won't do anything without video evidence. it would be he said she said thing. so what are my options? This whole thing has gone sour. He has not said one word to me about this.
Btw, he planted three small trees up against my fence as well. I just noticed this too.
