I got to the point in the OP where she said she was a girl and then immediately scrolled to the bottom of the thread and found no pics, I am very disappointed.

How about leaving your car out on the day the trash gets picked up/snooped in, with a tape loop of some little kid crying stuck in the trunk? Breaks the ice at parties.

Winnar.

If I didn't park outside regularly (the wife gets to park in the garage) I'd do this in a heartbeat.

FYI to OP, your neighbors suck, just ignore them. I am close to anti-social to my neighbors, and I like it that way. I still don't know the names of most of my neighbors. I wave when I'm outside and they go by, but we don't talk. I likes it better that way. last house I had to threaten to sic my dog (125lbs of Doberman/German SHepard mix) on my neighbors before they got the point to stay out of my yard and leave me the hell alone. (They decided that the best way to clean their garage was to stack [censored] on my wifes flowers, when I objected they got angry, and an arguement ensued, the 90 year old neighbor threated to kick my ass. I pointed out that if he came in my yard again it'd be a race to see if he could outrun my Dog, and if he could he'd still have me to deal with).

You are better off without them around talking to you.

The next time that you are out late, stop before you go inside and let out a loud, blood curdling scream. That should liven things up with the neighbors. Just make sure to warm up your vocal cords first so that you don't strain your voice.

You should also call the cops and report the looking in your windows. The police should visit your neighbor and make sure that they know not to do that.

there is no reason for you not to enjoy this.. and it doesn't take absurd stories to do. You should not make up with them. Neighbors you like, you should warn them about your nosy neighbors. Here are some things you could do, however:

1. put "fun" things in your trash. "bloody", cut up t-shirts, rubber tubing w/used needles, etc.

2. get a motion sensing surveillance cam, get video of snooping neighbors, and send to police, neighbors. you could also get video of them snooping in your trash. leave a tasty nugget dangling from the can (beer case, etc) to encourage them to have a look.

3. have a BBQ inviting all the *other* neighbors over. if they show up anyway, politely ask them to leave.

No, you should plant those things in their trash.

Ooh, brilliant. Turn the gossipmongers against themselves with a red herring.

I was also thinking this might be fun. Keep only one curtain open on the side of my house (easier to sneak a peek) for a few days. Sprinkle some powder or flour lightly outside the window so I know when I see her footprints she has been there. Have a sign inside my window that says, "if you are reading this, you are caught! you are being taped and this tape will be brought to the police".

When I see the footprints, go inside the house, and grab some old beta max tape I should have thrown out 30 years ago and walk outside waving it around. Talk loudly on my cell phone on my way to the car, saying things like, yes, officer, I have the proof right in my hands. Oh, you say, there is jail time for an offense like this? Is it really a felony? Drive off as she chases me screaming and pleading while envisioning her new life as a con.

If only in real life.....
