sexy_romulanI really thought we had their goddamn trespassing asses kicked this time, but no: somebody knocked over one of the barriers across the hedge and got through.
I am so tired of this.
Superintendant's response: call 311 and call bylaw on them. 311 says nope, that's a police matter, call the non-emergency line. Police say nope, you have to be the owner of the property to make a complaint, and in any case there wouldn't be much they could do unless we knew who was responsible, and it's really a city matter anyway. Called 311 again, and they say nope, that's a police matter, and anyway there's nothing they can do if the landlord doesn't want to put up a fence.
FOR FUCKSAKES.
Went to the office, where the lady suggested talking to the office manager, but seemed pessimistic about our chances of actually accomplishing anything. So I wrote a sternly worded letter to give to the office manager, but I suspect tying the barricades to the hedge would be more productive, especially because I'm afraid this will only draw the landlord's attention to our barricades and lead him to demand we take them down.
This is the one thing that has been a problem in this place. The ONLY THING. But I am so far at the end of my rope with this that I am tempted to look into moving, even though we can't really afford it. I don't know what else to do about it anymore.

And then grind glass shards into his/her face. :-D
Or, conversely, motion-activated web-cam + following the foot prints. Then see what you can do.
(Hey, it doesn't happen to be the landlord tromping through your yard, does it? I mean, if he's the one who does't want a fence...)
