I'm fed up with my hoarder neighbour – she has sheds full of junk, is constantly trespassing & is totally unapproachable

Posting on social media, an anonymous woman has complained about her nightmare neighbour who not only constantly trespasses, but is totally 'unapproachable' too.
Writing on Reddit on the r/BadNeighbors thread, a woman who writes under the username @Prudent-Ad7028, revealed all about her 'trashy' neighbours.
She explained that she and her husband bought their house a year ago and have recently been left fuming with their renter neighbours.
She highlighted: 'Our neighbours are renters and I'm also about 90% sure that the wife is a hoarder.
'They're our next door neighbours and the side of our house is regularly used as a lean-to for their junk.
'I've also recently seen her and her two teenage sons sitting right next to our house and our windows.'
Not only this, but the woman also shared: 'She had two sheds, one in her driveway and one right behind her house, both of which are filled to the brim with junk - to the point that there's no way her yard is this filthy and the inside of their house isn't.
'This woman and her sons spend all day every day lugging s**t in and out of those sheds and setting up 'yard sale' tables along the side of our house.'
Clearly fuming with the mess, the woman continued: 'I'm at my wits end, but she's completely unapproachable and any time I try to speak with her politely she ignores me.
'We also don't want to be on bad terms with the people we have to live right next door to, even though I feel they are deliberately trespassing and disrespecting our property line.
Listen to the noise-hell neighbour I live with. Whose blaring TV makes my flat SHAKE
'When we bought the house we were told that our property line ends at their driveway, but I haven't gotten any paperwork proving that yet.'
Unsure on how to proceed, the woman then added: 'Yesterday another neighbour gave me their landlord's number and told me to tell him about it, but I'm honestly worried it'll make things worse.
'I'm kind of mostly venting, but also looking for advice.'
The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue
Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it
Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway
Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating
Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours
Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others
Reddit users react
Reddit users were left gobsmacked by the user's neighbour and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their advice.
One person said: 'I would get a survey done and put up a fence.'
Another advised: 'Call the fire marshal, that is a fire hazard and they won't play around with that s**t. Especially if you tell them you're worried if their trash pile catches fire then your house will too.
'Also report them to your town's code compliance and your county health and human services.'
Whilst a third recommended: 'Call your city Code Enforcement and complain about the trash, the sheds, the encroachment on your property and the endless yard sales.
'If it's a decently run department, they can be pretty effective. I've seen neighbours call on other neighbours here, and it worked really well.'

John Fetterman offers surprising take on Trump's Epstein files debacle as he breaks with his party
Democrat John Fetterman is striking a different position on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files from the rest of his party. Donald Trump's administration continues to be embroiled in controversy over the release of the secret files of former financier and convicted pedophile. His Attorney General Pam Bondi is at the center of the drama as she's refused to put out the documents despite urging from the MAGA right and Democrats on the left. Fetterman, the only Democrat to vote for Bondi to be confirmed as attorney general earlier this year, offered a new take on the drama. The senator exclusively told the Daily Mail last week that 'everybody thinks that' Bondi should release the files. But he says he's 'not preoccupied' with them, unlike many of his colleagues in both political parties. 'You know, we've had it for four years before, and we didn't release it,' he said about the ex-Joe Biden administration. 'So, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't really think about it much,' Fetterman added, seemingly throwing his own political party under the bus. However, Democrats are now seizing on the files as way to put Republicans on the spot heading into the midterm elections. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for an FBI investigation last week into whether foreign governments are trying to use the Epstein files against Trump. Democrats have seized on Trump's reluctance to release the files as a political vulnerability heading into next year's midterm elections. Schumer's latest escalation is an attempt to elevate the scandal to having potential national security implications. At a press conference during his trip to Scotland in late July, Trump said that all of the hubbub about the files was a 'hoax.' He also noted that the 'files were run by sick, sick people' during the last administration and suggested they 'put things in the file that was a fake.' Trump is known to have run in the same social circles as Epstein, and the two were photographed at events together in the late 1990's and early 2000s. Their friendship doesn't mean the president took part in any inappropriate activity. A Wall Street Journal Report released earlier this month reported that Trump was one of Epstein's friends who wrote him a letter for his 50th birthday in 2003, accompanied by a sketch of a naked woman, prompting president to deny that reporting and sue the paper. Another report by the paper revealed that Bondi told Trump his name was included in the files multiple times, sparking theories as to why the DOJ is refusing to release the full documents. Bondi has been reluctant to release the files, and called last month for a grand jury to release the transcripts from the criminal cases of Epstein and his top accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump himself said that he was the one who pushed Bondi to call for the release of the transcripts. 'Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,' Trump wrote in a July 17 post on his social media site Truth Social. 'This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!' The Trump administration's refusal to release the full Epstein files dominated the news cycle for most of July and both the president's political allies and adversaries are growing weary. Donald Trump once said he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. But the scandal is proving difficult to tamp down. A rebel band of Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives including some of MAGA's biggest stars - like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert - have even joined forces with hundreds of Democrats to force a bombshell ballot on the Epstein files. Despite the typical partisan battle lines being drawn on most issues in Washington, D.C. these days, this matter in particular has created an unlikely set of bedfellows. Progressive Democrat Ro Khanna and libertarian-minded Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky teamed up last week to introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to publicly release all unclassified materials relating to Jeffrey Epstein. The duo's resolution is receiving the the backing of a diverse set of members, including New York socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Michigan 'Squad' member Rashida Tlaib, as well as Boebert of Colorado, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Greene of Georgia. Even if only the 10 GOP co-sponsors of the resolution were to support it, it would easily pass the House as just a simple majority is need, which is 218 votes out of 435. Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home for the August recess before a vote on Khanna and Massie's resolution could be held.

Spirit Airlines pilot ‘removed from duty' after being arrested on stalking charges
A Spirit Airlines pilot has been 'removed from duty' after being arrested at work at New Orleans's international airport on stalking charges out of Kansas, according to officials. Dominic A Cipolla, 40, was charged with stalking two different people in a criminal complaint dated 11 July, records in the Johnson county courthouse in Olathe, Kansas, show. Officials haven't released much information about the charges against Cipolla, but the dates of birth listed in court documents for his alleged victims indicate that they are approximately 12 and 17 years old. Local law enforcement officers arrested Cipolla in connection with that complaint on 17 July while he was working at Louis Armstrong airport in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner, Louisiana. He was held as a fugitive at a local lockup before being transferred to the Johnson county jail on 2 August. He soon posted a $12,500 bond for his release from custody while awaiting the outcome of the charges against him and was tentatively scheduled to make an initial court appearance on 12 August, records show. When asked about Cipolla on Monday, a spokesperson for Spirit – which is based in Florida and known for its low air fare – said in a statement that the company was 'aware of a matter involving a pilot at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport … which was unrelated to the performance of their job duties'. 'The pilot was removed from duty pending our investigation into the matter,' the airline's statement said. 'And we arranged for another pilot to operate the flight.' Records in Cipolla's case show that the charge he faces in connection with the younger of the two alleged victims is considered a severity level 7 person felony in Kansas, which is a crime that can carry about one to three years in prison under the state's laws. The other charge is considered a class A person misdemeanor, which can carry a fine of up to $2,500 or up to a year in county jail. Cipolla is described as a resident of Kansas City, Missouri, in court records. Kansas City is about 22 miles (35km) north of Olathe. Attempts to contact Cipolla were not immediately successful. A profile under his name at a publicly accessible sales and recruiting platform says Cipolla once served in the US military and joined Spirit in 2022 as a first officer after spending the previous three years in the same role at the Texas regional airline Envoy Air.
