neighborly love
Jump to Comments
Just read this in our local Bainbridge Island police blotter:
A Bainbridge woman found that her car’s tires were deflated sometime during the night near her High School Road home. She suspects a neighbor, who sometimes yells obscenities at her and spits on her car, may be to blame.
What a great sales pitch for the place we live! Come to the island, and we’ll spit on your car!
It probably wasn’t that neighbor anyway, right? Too obvious. Isn’t it always the one who “seemed so nice but kept to themselves?”
Well, at least her tires were deflated and not slashed. We’re not total savages.
I’m so proud.

It appears to me that the locals are a mix of the bored and the crazies.
I have to wonder why the police ignored this clear cut case of animal abuse:
>>>When asked why he had punched the woman, the man replied that he became upset after watching the victim allegedly insert plastic into her dog’s anus. “No one should do that,” he said
Just you wait until PETA hears about this!

David, yuck! that’s terrible.
Kathleen, I lived there b4 and guess that there people can spit on everyone’s car anytime!

I’m wondering if the winter really took some people around the bend. I have a friend on the island who has neighbors intent on making her life hell because she put up speed bumps in an effort to protect her small children from their speeding teenagers. You’d think they’d be grateful, but no, they’re screaming obscenities, honking at 4am and taking her to court. Can’t we all just get along people?!?!?

LOL, I bet she wishes it were the lead story (at least it’s in the “make love, not war” vein). Needless to say, the neighbors think they’re the aggrieved party, which is a mindset that drives me up a wall. I know for a fact she tried to talk with them repeatedly before installing the speed bumps but got nowhere. I’m sure car spitting is right around the corner.
