I just bought a new condo, we moved in the day after thanksgiving. There was a door mat left here by the previous owners, I had my own so I moved hers next to mine, ( so I had two, both on my front porch) The owner also left a pot to hold a potted plant on the pourch which i planned on using in the summer, a few days after we moved in, my mat was missing and it was place infront of her door ( the old one) I said fine, and did not want to cause trouble with the new neighbors and just got over it, a few days later the pot was missing. I once again did not want to get in bad with the new neighbors. On Christmas my fiances tire went flat on his pick up truck, there was nothing we could do about it untill he could get to work to bring home a compressor to fill it back up, so it had to sit on a flat for 2 days. Tonight when my fiance got home from work she was out side, and said very snotty, you tire was flat for two days, my fiance replied yeah stupid truck.

When we first came to look at the place her van was under the car port ( like 10 year old van) jacked up with the gas tank on the ground as if some one was working on it, my question is now that is she rude should i take my rug back, do you think that if she stole right in front of my face she will steal again? Like brake into my car, or check to see if we locked our door when we leave? More importantly should i take my rug back just to prove a point, not say anything just take it back?

I can't just leave!!
1) I bought the place
2) I am not going to let someone run me out of my home, especially one that I love!

The first thing I would do is go over and talk to the woman and ask her if she has some kind of problem with you and your fiance. If she says no then let it go and see what happens. If she says yes then ask her what she thought you did to make her mad. Talking things out is alot better than sneaking around and stealing or taking back things. But before I left I would pick up the mat in front of her door and tell her that is your mat and your taking it back and for her not to touch it again or you will have to notify the police.

I wouldn't take back the rug or the pot. I'd let this pass, and try to get to know her better. She may be elderly, or suspicious of new neighbors. Either way, two wrongs never make a right, and it makes you the better person not to seek revenge over her.
You will have to live beside her for a long time, and it is always better to have a good relationship with a neighbor that you trust, than a bad relationship with someone that you always suspect of something bad. Really, think about it. How much was that pot and rug worth? Enough to cause a ruckus?
It would be worth it just to patch things up and try to get to know her. She may be just different, or nervous. She could just be cranky, but could be very sweet inside. You never know until you meet someone and get to know them.

Let it go for now. Maybe she is just trying to show who's been there the longest? I would buy another new mat. And see what happens. If she takes that one maybe steel it back and put video cameras to watch. Do you have an association there at the condo development. Maybe complain to them I bet who ever sold that place had a problem with her too and complained. Maybe that is why they moved.

It sounds like this neighbor could be trouble. If you have a homeowners' association, I would make a complaint with them. You can do that anonymously. The more you put up with early on, the more she will try to get away with. If other things come up missing, you could even report her to the police. Seriously -- don't let this go by without doing something or you will be sorry.

I would of never let her get away with that stuff to begin with, You bought a home do not let anyone walk over you. I am a nice person too but do not touch my stuff to see how far I will be nice. Take back what is yours and I would lock my doors, she sounds like a terrible neighbor

No, she"s really not worth getting upset over, she sounds like she wants to start trouble with you , bring you mat into the house and let her wonder about it, and if she does have the gall to say .....have you seen her mat you tell her oh YOU mean my mat....? but i would really ignore her.

hell yeah i would take the rug back, what is wrong with people, you don't just take stuff right in front of others houses...then ignore her, act snob as well...one more thing, always, always look your doors(home and car). and if things keep going missing, the next step would security cameras i guess. good luck!

it was a good answer. either you can ignore all this, or actually talk to her. otherwise there will be resentment by both parties over nothing except what you think she thinks, and the same with her. or maybe shes just a *****, in that case, you take a bag of dog sh#t, light it, ring the doorbell................
