There are a couple of options
when your neighbors are a problem. I’ve
had to deal with this. I’ve exercised
some of the options. You can talk to
them. You can let them know you’re calling the police if they are way too
loud. If you’re renting, you can call
the landlord, if they have the same landlord. If you have different landlords,
you can move. Or you can use the nuclear
option and have their home demolished. I’ve
never used the nuclear option. Nor have
I had the sad-face mug shot that Ana Maria Moreta Folch of St. Augustine has in
the picture to the left.

| Moreta Folch, with the sad face |
According to the Florida Times Union, Moreta Folch didn’t like her
neighbors because she thought they were unsavory and thought they broke into
her car. So she called a demolition company
and told them that she owned the trailer next door needed it bulldozed along
with its septic tank. That’s the nuclear
option. She pulled the trigger.
The company started demolishing,
apparently without checking for ownership papers, and the actual owners came
home mid-destruction and called the 5-0.
Had Moreta Folch called the
police first, about the neighbors alleged shenanigans, she might not have been
the one facing a third-degree felony, which seems kind of light for having
someone’s house demolished. Self-help
usually doesn’t work. However, if the
dude doesn’t get a new trailer and move back next to her, and she gets out
relatively light, it could be a win for her. We’ll see.
