Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 7Nov 09, 2009 9:12 pm Well, I did try to speak to "those in the know" to see if there were any asteriods in the area!

Stila BK1 Build Thread The best place to talk about sport Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 9Nov 09, 2009 9:40 pm Suggest a video camera, and when she is caught in the act, then go to the police. If they police will not do anything about, keep collectin proof and prosecute for trespass. If she is such a respected member of society, she wont like it when you call the locaql newspaper and invite a reporter over for a cup of tea????

Could you consider moving???? I'd just constantly contact the police to advise them of the harrassment and trespassing. I'm sorry i don't have any better advice!!! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris.

Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 12Nov 09, 2009 10:19 pm The law is the same in every state - just different names for the same thing... you should apply before your neighbour does... Quote: An Intervention Order: You can apply for a court order which can help protect you from further violence or abuse. In Victoria, this is called an 'Intervention Order' (they have different names in other states, for example, in NSW it's called an 'Apprehended Violence Order', in QLD it's called a 'Protection Order', in WA, NT and SA it's a 'Restraining Order', in TAS it's a 'Restraint Order'). You can apply for an Intervention Order if you have been assaulted, threatened, harrassed, stalked, or had property damaged, and it is likely to happen again. The order can prohibit your boyfriend/girlfriend from harassing, threatening or abusing you, or from coming near your home, your work, or other places where you need to go. It is a criminal offence if they disobey the order. In Victoria: If you are under 14, another person can apply for an order on your behalf (eg; the police, a parent, or any other person with your parent's consent or with the courts permission). If you are 14 -16 years old, you can take out an order, but the Magistrate at the court will want to know if you understand what you are doing, and will decide as to whether your application should go ahead. If you are over 17, you can apply for one yourself. Also the police can apply for an Intervention Order on your behalf (they can do this with or without your consent). Quote: Restraining Orders If someone is violent towards you, threatens you or your property, harasses or intimidates you and you are concerned that it will continue and put you at risk, you can apply to have a restraining order taken out against them. A restraining order makes it against the law for that person to come near you or your property. A restraining order also makes it illegal for the person to use other people to contact you or to try other means of contact, for example, SMS messages, mail, emails. These are breaches of the restraining order and the person can be charged by the police with a criminal offence. If this happens the court will deal with the person. A restraining order is designed to prevent acts of physical violence and stop threats in the future. It is an order of the court requiring a person to behave in certain ways and is worded to fit each particular circumstance. The 'applicant' is the person applying for a restraining order. The 'respondent' is the person against whom the order is made. There are two types of restraining orders: violence restraining orders misconduct order An application for either type of order can be made by: a police officer on behalf of a person or a group a person seeking protection a parent or guardian of a child a guardian of a person. Applications for either type of order can be made at a Magistrates Court or, if the respondent is a juvenile, a parent or authorised person must assist the child to make an application to the Children's Court. Courts are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm. In crisis situations, police can issue 24 or 72 hour police orders. To request that police make an application on your behalf, telephone 131 444. Call 000 for emergencies. The Family Violence Service or your local Victim Support Service office can help with information regarding taking out a restraining order. For legal advice or assistance, contact your solicitor, the Legal Aid Domestic Violence Unit on (08) 9261 6254 or 9261 6320, your nearest Community Legal Centre, Aboriginal Legal Service or Women's Legal Service.

Pump up and spray over the fence at night. Stand on a tarp so it catches any drips and won't kill your lawn or give away who did it! It sounds like you have tried being nice and I was going to suggest something like this - if they have poisoned your garden and they care so much about theirs do that to them! I'm not normally one that goes along with *** for tat but sometimes the pleasure from doing so can be therapeutic!! Also, I would go get a portable electric fence type thingy from your local hardware store to run along the fence line, just out of reach of the gate so that as soon as they open the gate they will walk in and touch it (works well for keeping dogs off garden beds too!) I also like the idea of the security camera 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

Do what ed and Adrian suggested and place a restraining order on them and set up cameras (try be discreet so they don't know they exist.) at the front of your property and on the back gate. Record a day, review and delete if nothings happened. If something does happen and you have the restraining order, you'll then have grounds to prosecute. That would be the best route legally I think. ---------------------------------------- Building the PD Lisbon 24 http://www.porterdavis.com.au/#homeviewer/lisbon/24 Blog of our progress. http://lisbon24.blogspot.com/ Homeone build thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28665 Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 15Nov 10, 2009 9:35 am Thanks everyone for your replies. It's a challenging situation for us because they have support from other neighbours (friends) so we get out numbered. I think the idea of security cameras are the best idea. You've got no idea how she can lose it, there's obviously a lot of mental problems that aren't under control. I've found with her that she can appear normal until she's challenged and then all hell breaks loose. We challenged her to stop dumping her rubbish and to stop trespassing. That's all it took. It's very hard to be logical with someone of that mentality. I suppose we have to share these type of people around in society, it is a lesson for us all to overcome these types by being smart and mature and not being stupid and pathetic like them. I just have to figure out the best smart and mature way, and resist the urge for therapeutic means as has been suggested by all your wonderful ideas! Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 16Nov 10, 2009 11:03 am Get the video cameras and THEN think about a restraining order. If they're as wacked in the head as they sound then the restraining order will send them nuts and you're bound to get some excellent footage. Make sure your camera is good enough to get clear faces and the recording medium long enough to run for a few days. Swann have an excellent range: http://www.swannsecurity.com/region/australia/entry/au I would absolutely NOT get into any games with garden poisons, dog droppings or anything else. That'd be very unwise imo. Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves. - Dale Carnegie Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 17Nov 10, 2009 1:06 pm Sounds like a fruitcake. I agree with the previous posters who suggested a restraining order and video surveillance. Another type of security camera is a farm cam (just google "farm cam"). They are very small so easy to hide and work at night. Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 18Nov 10, 2009 4:59 pm Oh thank you! I just googled the farm cam and it is perfect. I'm sure the price will get me though. I had been thinking about security cameras but the wiring was impractical for our situation. Also, perhaps I may go and have a talk with the local police, not something I want to do, they always seem to judge you as the guilty! Has anyone ever gone in for a friendly chat with the boys in blue, did anyone ever come away feeling they'd achieved anything? Re: Neighbour's gardening and trespass 19Nov 10, 2009 5:52 pm http://www.waportablesurveillance.com.au/pricelist.html Price lists. Looks like about $1700 for the video camera you would want (the first one is still images I think). Can you hire these things from anywhere?
