It's with a huge sense of relief that my neighbours from hell have moved away.

While the owner moved to Aus, she rented her 2 BR urban central city home. The property was unfenced, as is typical of urban houses.

The renters are a mid-wife, and he's a builder. They also had various adult relatives living there sporadically.

We have a very narrow cul-de-sac, which when devoid of cars is too small to turn around. It also spoked with lots of driveways, so some houses literally have no parking in front of their house.

Even though they had a 2 car driveway, and a garage, they always parked two cars on the street. This caused to no end of grief for anyone trying to turn around.

They kept a Harley Davidson, a not a nice "I'm over-30, and having a mid-life crisis" one. It was "you can hear me from a kilometre away" one.

They kept chickens, two very large tom cats, and a large muscled dog. The dog and cats were kept loose. The dog killed the chickens.

When people arrived home, the dog would literally confront us in our garages and bark and snarl. Other nuisances is it would tear up trash bags, and chase cats.

Myself and neighbours complained, and she got pinged by animal control 4 times, at $200 per ticket. Also the garbage men stopped picking up her trash, as they were menaced by the dog.

To stop the animal control ticket, and get garbage pickup, in the driveway they set up a dog cage. Then she brought in a male dog to breed with their female. The male dog was actually more aggressive than the female.

But thankfully that's all behind me.

I didn't realised how stressed they made me, until I peeked in the windows and found every bit of furniture gone, and the Harley no longer parked in the garage.

They did, of course, leave outside a hill worth of garbage strewn around, for their friend to clean up, including an old bathtub, but they are gone!

I'm not religious, but halleluiah.
