OK update on my creepy dog abusing neighbours.
Today a removal van appeared in their drive.
THEY'RE GONE!
Well van has removed all their furniture and big stuff but still got his amateur radio wires and hundreds of pounds' worth of CCTV cameras to remove.
They're fecking gone.
Weird thing is, I never did get round to the bagua mirror or the nidstang (Viking curse stick - which was originally an animal's head, usually horse, on a stick with runes). I got some Britain's horse models on eBay last week, finally, with the intent to make a mini nidstang and stick it in the garden! Apparently just intent was enough... days later, they're gone.
It's been 9 years.
We named and shamed them all over FB esp in large local groups (one with 25,000 members). An animal welfare group that names and shames RSPCA defendants posted widely and got lots of shares, and my burner account went on and shared their posts wherever I thought locally the female neighbour might try to buy a new dog...
No warning owt was about to happen - then a big self-drive removal van turns up this morning and was loaded with all their furniture.
Rumour is they've moved about 7 miles away. To the village where I grew up.
Just a few miles down the road but it's very different to here They just need one person to have seen one of those FB posts about their animal cruelty and, bottom line is, pitchforks and torches because that lot don't mess around where I come from.
Bought booze and chocolate and celebrated.
We were told they were trying to do a council exchange but we think they may have been given a void house as nobody has moved in to their house, today. Good news is, if that's the case it will stand empty for weeks whilst council clean it and do it up so we will have a peaceful June, at least.
We've waited nearly 9 years for this moment. It feels incredible to know they're gone. It took me standing up in court and then the animal welfare people and FB did its magic but still been 5 months or so since in court, to today.
