“ENTITLED NEIGHBOR BURIED MY POND – I SHOWED HIM WHY YOU DON’T CROSS AN OLDER WOMAN My neighbor, Brian, never stopped griping about my pond, which sits right near his property. He’d always say it was a nuisance, claiming it attracted bugs, made the ground too wet, and bred frogs that croaked all night, keeping him up. Well, one day, I got back from visiting my sister in another state and was downright horrified. My beautiful pond was completely filled in. My other neighbor told me a crew came by with orders from some company to drain it and fill it up. It was all paid for. She couldn’t stop them, and I was just devastated.
