'Entitled neighbour lets dog run around my garden and made outrageous demand'
A man has been left enraged after he confronted his 'entitled' neighbour for using his garden to let his dog run around without asking for permission first and making a surprising demand
A man has shared his shock after his 'entitled' neighbour treated his garden like their own private dog park.
He shared how the cheeky neighbour walked into his garden so that their pooch could have a run about and let off some energy, completely unannounced.
The bewildered man ask the neighbour why he wasn't using his own garden instead.
He said on Reddit: "Last weekend, my neighbour just let himself into my backyard. Didn't call, didn't knock, just opened the gate and walked in with his dog like it was no big deal.
"The dog ran straight into my garden, knocked over a pot, and crushed a few of my seedling I'd just planted.
"I asked him why though that was okay. He literally said, 'It's just yard. If your plants are delicate, maybe don't leave them out'.
"Then followed it up with, 'Your yard's always empty. I thought you wouldn't care.'
After demanding the neighbour get out of his garden and insisting he ask permission to use it in the future, the homeowner recounted that his neighbour just scoffed and mumbled about him being overdramatic.
Putting an end to any further impromptu visits, the disgruntled chap remarked: "Now I keep the gate locked."
Reddit users pitched in with advice, with one recommending: "Get cameras to watch your backyard and its entry. He'll be back for sure."
Another user added: "Call police and make a report now to start the documentation process.
"Next time have him formally trespassed if he comes into your property again. After that, it's a Law Enforcement issue."
A third user said: "That's so irritating. When I was a kid in the 80s a cop moved in next door with his family. Worst neighbours.
"This was so long ago we left the doors unlocked. His kids would walk right into our house, raid the fridge, and go into the living room and turn on the TV and watch cartoons. Not even knock or anything.
"We'd just wake up to a home with random kids. My parents tried talking to him about it and he pulled the cop card and said his kids could do what they wanted.
"We obviously started locking the doors. Then they would open the gate and let our dogs out of the backyard. Multiple times we had to pay the pound to get the dogs back after they ran off. So we had to lock that, too. Such trash people."
One more user added: "There's a gate for a reason. You chose to open my gate and let your dog run all over. If it's just a yard, keep the damn dog in your own yard."

JD Vance travels to Los Angeles to scold Gavin Newsom for 'egging on' violent riots
Vice President JD Vance traveled to Los Angeles on Friday, setting up a showdown with Gov. Gavin Newsom as he visited deployed Marines in the city. The vice president traveled to a multiagency Federal Joint Operations Center and a Federal Mobile Command Center to visit with federal law officials and thank them for their efforts to protect the city. He defended the president's decision to send in federal troops to help local law enforcement combat rioters in the city. He described the series of events surrounding the riots a 'tragedy' and said that the rioters were 'egged on' by Newsom and the Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. 'That is disgraceful,' he said, adding, 'We've got to enforce our borders and get so many of these criminals out of our country to begin with.' He said that Trump acted because Newsom refused to take the riots seriously. 'If you enforce your own laws and if you protect federal law enforcement, we're not going to send in the national guard because it's unnecessary,' he said. 'But if you let violent rioters burn great American cities to the ground, then of course we're going to send in federal law enforcement to protect the people the president was elected to protect.' Vance said he was grateful to federal law enforcement officials citing the 'good news' that the rioting had slowed down, but said it was still necessary to keep them on duty in case the riots flared back up. The vice president criticized both Bass and Newsom for encouraging a 'crisis' by extending government benefits to illegal immigrants and straining the local public services. He also criticized both leaders for inciting violent riots in response to the president's deportation orders and endangering local law enforcement officials. 'I think it's disgraceful that we've ever gotten to this point,' Vance added. The vice president also ridiculed Sen. Jose Padilla for causing a scene at a press conference with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last, leading her bodyguards to wrestle him to the ground and handcuff him. 'Well I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question but unfortunately I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't a theater,' he said when asked to respond to the incident. 'I think we ought to laugh them out of the building, we ought to call them out for doing what they are doing which is grandstanding.' President Donald Trump deployed 700 U.S. Marines to the city after protesters rioted in response to increased ICE raids and deportations of illegal immigrants. Vance's visit takes place after Newsom, who is considering a 2028 Ron for president, loudly protested the deployment of military forces to help quell the riots. Newsom warned that 'democracy was under assault,' because the president ignored his plea to deescalate the riots and protests. He described the deployment of federal troops and Marines unnecessary and illegal, filing a lawsuit to contest the president's deployment. Vance's trip takes place just after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled Thursday in favor of the president's authority to deploy military forces. 'The undisputed facts demonstrate that before the deployment of the National Guard, protesters 'pinned down' several federal officers and threw 'concrete chunks, bottles of liquid, and other objects' at the officers,' the court's decision read. 'Protesters also damaged federal buildings and caused the closure of at least one federal building. And a federal van was attacked by protesters who smashed in the van's windows. The federal government's interest in preventing incidents like these is significant.' The Marines were tasked with protecting federal buildings. Last week they detained a man for walking onto the property of a Los Angeles federal building but he was released without charges.

Man with Taser and rope charged in attempted kidnapping of mayor, Memphis police say
A man has been charged with an attempted kidnapping of the mayor of Memphis after he went to the mayor's house in a gated community and was later arrested with a Taser, gloves, rope and duct tape in his vehicle, according to police. Memphis police on Wednesday announced that Trenton Abston, 25, is facing charges of attempted kidnapping, stalking and aggravated criminal trespass. Mayor Paul Young, a Black Democrat, was at home with his wife and children when Abston knocked on the door Sunday night, according to an arrest affidavit. Young said could see from his doorbell camera that the man was wearing gloves and had a lumpy bulge in his hoodie pocket. When no one answered, the man fled, but his face was captured on camera, the affidavit says. The attempt happened just one day after the killing a prominent Minnesota Democratic lawmaker. The suspect charged is accused of impersonating a police officer and gunning down former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home outside Minneapolis. Online court records reviewed Friday do not show if he has hired a lawyer. Abston, who is Black, is scheduled to appear in court Monday to tell a judge if he has been able to hire an attorney. Abston told police investigators that he waited until Sunday evening to approach Young at his home about crime in the city, saying he was angry at the mayor and armed with a Taser when he went to the home, the affidavit says. Police found in their investigation that Abston's vehicle was seen on video footage multiple times in the immediate area of Young's home between May and June, the affidavit says. The subdivision has a large exterior wall, a gate, a guard house, security and video surveillance, the affidavit says. Security footage shows that Abston scaled a wall and went directly to Young's residence, authorities said. On Tuesday, police used law enforcement databases to identify Abston as a person of interest in the case. They confirmed his identity by showing his work manager a photo from the night of the incident, and then detained Abston at his workplace on Wednesday, the affidavit says. 'Abston took substantial steps toward the commission of a kidnapping,' the affidavit said. Young said the man jumped a wall leading into the subdivision where his family lives. He said the man 'walked straight to our home, knocking on the door with gloves on, a full pocket, and a nervous demeanor.' Young challenged people in his city to 'change how we talk to and about each other,' saying, 'disagreement must never lead to violence.' 'In today's climate, especially after the tragic events in Minnesota and the threats my wife and I often receive online, none of us can be too careful," Young wrote on social media on Wednesday. "The link between angry online rhetoric and real-life violence is becoming undeniable.'
