Neighbors sue over alleged harassment, tub shining.
Why can’t we all just get along?
Back in our days covering the Town of Oconomowoc police department, we would regularly read the police reports detailing the alleged shenanigans going on between these not so neighborly neighbors. They usually involved the words, “I told them to grow up, and told them that If I had to come back out here, someone was getting arrested.”
From the UPI story:
Donald and Susanne Dysland claim in the suits, filed in Waukesha County Circuit Court, that neighbor Charles Stelter “intentionally shines spotlights” into their backyard and has a video camera pointed at their hot tub, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Thursday.
The couple claims another neighbor, Ronald Borowski, shines spotlights into their bedroom at late hours and has built a retaining wall that encroaches onto their property.
We don’t mean to make light of the very serious crime of tub shinin’, but the a quick check of the Waukesha County Tax Records shows that the three properties in question have values of roughly $400,000 each and are packed into about 200-feet of frontage. Think about that. Each foot of north-south space is worth roughly $2,000. That means you could stack all three properties on a football feild and still have room for a practice scrimmage in the opposing team’s redzone.
With the properties packed in that tightly, no wonder the neighbors have trouble getting along.
