I don’t believe it… Moving a welcome mat when the guy has a camera doorbell? C’mon…
I have a Google doorbell and it’s night vision is terrible. I’ve taken the garbage to the curb during the winter when it’s the darkest and the doorbell didn’t register anything not the noise not the motion. Even knowing what I was looking for I barely show up in the video feed, it looks like a ghost.
Have you tried turning the porch light on?
it looks like a ghost
Even better
Easy solution, jam the wifi signal while moving the mat. Added benefit of making them more concerned that the house is haunted. If the houses are close enough (likely, hoa so suburbs) you could just hook it to a basic wall-wart timer that actives at 3 and deactives at 3:05, and have it + jammer plugged in at the closest outlet to neighbors front door. Ring doesn’t have a wired ethernet version to fix this vulnerability.
…why are you looking at me like that?
Yeah, good idea. Commit a felony offense to cover the tracks of your late night trashcan shenanigan…
It’s only bad if you get caught
🌌 🧠
There are radio nerds out there who are extremely interested in RF noise and will absolutely triangulate and report a signal jammer.
How much time does one need to triangulate a signal these days? Asking for a friend
Hypothetically, near instantly. Realistically, I don’t think someone is going to bother to triangulate a random burst in the 2.4 and 5ghz bands, but someone logging radio traffic for shits and giggles would certainly notice 5-10 minutes bursts of noise early in the mornings saturating the band (you’d need to do the whole band as modern WiFi will channel hop for the best signal).
Well now we have to move the trash cans of two houses I guess
You don’t have to jam it. You can spam it with DEAUTHs from anything that will run aircrack.
I thought wpa3 made those attacks not possible?
Also jeez, that’s a program I haven’t thought of in 20 years. That and wireshark…
It can but usually isn’t configured to. WPA3 may have it’s own seprate DoS flaw that wasn’t fully patchable, can’t remember
This is easily accomplished with a fishing rod. I also don’t believe this, however.
You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
You guys are no fun
Impossible!
Inconceivable!
Even the trash cans. Just…put the trash cans in actual view of the camera? How would you buy a camera just to watch your trash cans and then not actually watch the trash cans with it?
No, you’re overthinking it. Say the cans are on the opposite side of the house from where op is. If he crosses in view of the front door, he’ll (op) be spotted. So he goes through the backyard instead for access to the cans.
He’s (op neighbor) not buying a camera and pointing it straight at the cans from the property fence or something.
Exactly, signal jam the cheap way. 👍 Most people don’t realize you can set this up in the breaker box lol. But I’m a stinker.
Doesn’t explain moving the welcome mat undetected though
Read my other comment :p
What other comment?
You have no idea how many of those things are mounted such that you can walk up from the side unseen.
Source - my neighbor’s an idiot
Found op. That’s some nice work you’re doing.
Imagine being so fucking basic you care about trash cans being visible from the street.
Its not about the trash cans, its about making sure your neighbours know YOU are calling the shots. If it wasnt the trashcan it would have been the grass a half-inch too high, or the paint on the door chipped slightly, or gravel leaving the premises, or dirty windows.

grass too tall

didn’t respect mah athoriteh

Yeah, basic as fuck.
HOA zombies are a plague
Not HOA but similar. I was living in a different city during covid. The city closed the outdoor parks in the poor and working class neighborhoods, the rich folk parks remained open.
They started to wrap the swings at the park around the top bar. I’d unwrap them each day and that went on for about two weeks. Then they went to zip tying the swings together so they couldn’t be used. So I would cut the zip ties each day. This went on for another few weeks. Then they brought a sign post and a sign saying the park was closed and using the swings was prohibited. I dug the sign post out and threw it in the woods. Then they chained the swings together with a pad lock so I went to harbor freight and bought very heavy duty bolt cutters and lopped the chain off. That daily chain lopping lasted a week or two then they just took the swings away. I debated about buying swings and attaching them but figured the gambit went on as long as it should have and called it. I had fun.
Meanwhile the whole time the kids in the rich neighborhoods could swing to their daily content.
I love it. Perhaps it would have been more effective to just do whatever they did to the swings at the other parks? Either way it’s good stuff
Are you saying sabotage the rich kids swings? Thats awful. Like something done shit to your park so you’ll pay it forward to other innocent kids. Terrible behaviour. You should be mad at the people doing it and take it out on them or the rule makers.
I think the removed signs should’ve been liberated and re-placed at the rich neighborhood park, and chains should’ve simply been set by the swings there. Make them see what they’re doing and explain to their families why this is happening (if they even bother to use their parks)
It doesn’t damage the park, it doesn’t prevent its use but it does clearly place the problem they created at their doorstep
I mean if the city is gonna actively punish poor kids then fuck them rich ones, they should suffer just the same. Teach them some humility instead of the upper class bubble they’re in.
The correct response is to find out who is responsible for the chaining/closing and start chaining/closing their stuff. Randomly messing with another park doesn’t hurt anyone and just means another park is closed.
The difference in the swings in the other parks were that they were surrounded by rich people
My park was close to my house and it was closed by ordinance, the other rich ones were not. There is no difference in the parks at all other than the property values in the neighborhoods in which they sat. I wasn’t going to go to city hall and complain since the mayor and council people were all from the rich neighborhoods. Rule of law is downwards in our class based society.
Good effort! Hopefully some of the local kids got to enjoy the swings after your heroics each day, & that the council/city eventually put them back after restrictions loosened again.
They did eventually, I think it took more than a year. It was ridiculous.
Bruh this is literally Stasi shit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zersetzung
OOP should join the FSB lmfao
I wouldn’t even notice if the bins moved 6"
I’m just glad my HOA is chill and I like them.
The only thing they’ve had to bring fines about is people trying to move furniture in the wrong elevator and scratching up the wood finishings, and they should. We have a freight elevator for that.
That sounds more like just an apartment management or smth, no? HOAs are more for separate houses I thought
Fake but still kind of funny.
HOA are bullshit, but the folks who actually use em to cause problems for their neighbors are a different kind of scum.
On the other hand, the guy upstairs me hasn’t fixed their seepage problems in years and my ceiling is watering. Maybe no HOA here.
magnificent and beautiful. it causes no physical harm yet þe fear is unmistakable
HOA are such a crazy concept. There is no such thing in Europe.
In the whole of Europe? That thing that‘s made up by a big bunch of countries, all with very different laws and regulations? Bold claim.
We Germans sadly have owner’s associations in appartment buildings that can pull similar shit with the house rules, and also crazy restrictive building codes in some places, dictating how your driveway is allowed to look etc.
We have them for apartment buildings in Romania. Never heard of any for houses, fortunately.
Look up the word bünzli
For real, Switzerland does not nearly get enough shit for being exactly like the stereotypes that actually exist for Germany but even more so
My parents kinda has one where they live in Sweden. Except everyone is welcome to the meetings. And it’s mostly about planning, upkeep, and budgeting for snow ploughing, play parks and things like that, instead of relying on the local council to do it. And it’s only for the one street they live on. Definitely no where near what an american HOA is like 😅
OTOH, your town planning councils tend to be a lot more restrictive.
Of course there are home owners associations in Europe. They’re just not crazy.
Am in US. I will NEVER own a house with an HOA. NEVER
Why not both? 🤣

This should be green text.
Weird request, but okay.

🤌 the fact that you went through the effort to make that text green, too
whooosh.

These are creative writing exercises on reddit. It’s gotten a million times worse since LLMs.
A LLM that does not understand that you can’t avoid being seen by a ring camera by ‘approaching from a blind spot. ‘
I mean its perfectly conceivable for any camera to have a blind spot. The lens can only see so much. Heck given its a Ring camera its almost certainly on a wireless connection so its trivial to briefly disrupt the connection if you’re okay with violating FCC regulations
the cans would not be in a blind spot
A camera was put up explicitly for the purpose of seeing who is moving the bins, and the guy can’t see who is moving the bins, and the guy never thinks to reposition his camera?
No, that’s AI slop.
If a camera is pointed directly at the trash cans, there would be no blind spot from which they could move them.
You’re making the assumption the cameras can see the bins. Might just look at a driveway.
Blind spot so big the cans are there too which defeats the purpose of the camera. Got it.
Someone who reports people’s trash cans to the HOA so they can be fined for it probably aren’t someone who understands camera angles.
Even the dumbest person is going to check the feed bro, come on.
They can check the feed all they want. If the angles don’t show anything it doesn’t matter.
Check every morning if the cans moved.
Notice they move Wednesday night.
Set alarm for middle of the night (3AM) and check if they moved.
Didn’t move? Next week set alarm for 4.30AM.
Moved? 3.45AM.
Moved…
Shoot the guy trespassing on your property in dark clothes in the middle of the night.
Nowhere does it say they are Americans 🤷♂️ also you sound like a psychopath
Isn’t HOA pretty unique to America (and maybe Canada)?
I live in an andelsboligforening, thats kind of the same i think.
Imagine if an association owned an apartment complex, and the association was owned by the members.
So i dont technically own my apartment, i own a specific part of the association, that is connected with this specific apartment.
We have the same for city gardens called Kolonihave, its actually very common in Northern Europe.
We have taloyhtiö which is similar. The one I live in at the moment is pretty good, we even have our own janitor which is rare nowadays. Today I called the janitor about a leaking pipe and they arranged a plumber for tomorrow, no hassle.
The housing cooperative is much liked and there are elderly people living here that were born in these houses and never lived elsewhere. It’s not a posh neighbourhood either, which is nice. Just normal people.
But of course it varies a lot. Here most of the people who own the flats live in them, and the board members too, but the housing cooperatives whose boards are filled with landlords tend to minimize the upkeep and services. And when also the tenants change all the time the community that would look after itself doesn’t have a chance to grow.
Ours is just a little over 100 years old now, and even back from the start, the building won some prize, i dont know what its called but something like best building made in copenhagen from recycled materials in 1918.
We also had own bathrooms, both toilet and showers, from the start. Most other buildings around here had it installed in the 80s.
And many other buildings also had backhouses that were eventually demolished to make room for common areas, where ours had the foresight to never build one.
Oh, and of the 250 apartments, about 70% are still owned by the same families who came together and built the building. That means that when the laws around pricing in andelsboligforeninger changed, people here chose to keep the old low prices.
“I might be able to become a Millionaire today, but then my 3 children would all need millions each to own a home” has been the consensus around here since then. (a million dkk is about 140.000$)
I am very proud that the families all came together around that decision before my time. Its literally one of the only places in Copenhagen where a normal person can own a home without millions in debt.
I imagine all neighborhoods have some local association that fills this function. It’s just that the USA cosplays as libertarians while being authotitarians.
I hate to drag in Iran into this, but that’s a country where property is respected. You owned a piece of land in the 60s that you never developed, then the revolution came and you fled to LA? Well your plot of land is still sitting there, untouched, in the middle of Tehran, now worth tens of millions of dollars.
As a homeowner in Iran, you own a cone with its tip in the Earth’s core and its base emanating to the edge of the universe. The same applies if ypu own an apartment. You have a veto, changes can only happen by consensus.
HOA plus calling a priest to have the house blessed certainly point in that direction though. But I don’t think that would be legal everywhere even there. Isn’t much use to you though if the neighbour is the kind of psycho to shoot someone over this.
Slightly annoyed by neighbor -> commits premeditated murder.
Yup, perfect solution.
Anybody have any neighbor revenge tips? As in my neighbor is a fucking psycho who tried to break into my house, but is also rich, so he paid a lawyer and got a hand slap?
Obligatory, ACAB and fuck America. Can’t wait to take a position overseas again.
Good ol frozen piss disc. /s
Seems like it should be possible to introduce crab grass to his lawn…
Depends how much revenge you need. There is a sliding scale between pooping on his doormat to planting creeping bamboo to planting an IED.
Somewhere between the bamboo and IED
if he has a dog, you could put broken glass into dog food and feed it to the dog.
Whoa now! His dog didn’t do anything to me!
Also, you have a very appropriate username
While I hate dogs, I can’t really condone this.
I’m just brainstorming here.
I get that.
Just wasn’t very tasty.that’s why you enrobe it in dog food.
A spoon full of dog food helps the broken glass go down.
In the most delightful way.
I find a well aimed missile tends to do the trick
