At about 6 pm, I saw this guy walking down the road and dragging a
stick or something against the gates and wall of a neighbour house. -
I think he did it to make the dogs crazy or something.
I went out to look because all the dogs in the road were barking -

Hi Camilla,
I think you should report it to a police station, try asking for the

Hi Natalie,

Hi there,
I totally agree that this board is for neighbour hood related issues,
and that it is tiresome to keep reading the backwards and forewards on

quite shocked and would probably leave.
