HELP! We have had neighbors directly across the street moved in when the mother was no longer able to take care of herself and they put into a home. This young couple do not care for their outside property, dandelions became the norm and maybe mowing the grass once every two weeks, if then. All the neighbors have asked me to call the city, I did not, but others did. The man door next to me gave them a lawn mower-- they seldom used it. Using a weed-wacker instead. NOW To Me: yesterday I bought some weed and feed and put it on their lawn. The wife saw me, began to swear; telephoned police and pressed charges. My husband is livid, and is afraid she is going to sue us. Since my husband is awaiting a heart transplant this is causing him so much stress. I have to go to court so the police who wrote out the report and said, and I will plead no contest -- but we are retired Desert Storm veterans and cannot afford for her to get rich because I thought I was helping a young couple that I thought may not have the funds to spend on lawn care. I used to help her mom cut grass when she was outside trying after she had gotten older, as I have helped other neighbors. I did not think I was doing anything wrong, and had I known I would never have crossed the street, perhaps just given her the bottle. Also, I am wondering since she is not the owner of the property, can she sue me as the owner. The tax records state that her adopted father and his first wife, not her adopted mother, are the land owners and hold the deed. Basically they are just living there, and the property taxes go unpaid. HELP me, my husband is quite afraid. Or suggest where I should go, I have never had to deal with the police.
