Rich Neighbor Built a Fence on My Property and Blocked My Windows While I Was on Vacation — I Taught Him a Perfect Lesson

After a week of sun and sand, I came home to find a massive wooden fence blocking my windows — built right on my property.

I’m Catherine, a single mom of two boys. My neighbor Jeffrey had been arguing for weeks about putting up a fence “for privacy.” I told him no. He did it anyway — while we were on vacation.

I was furious. Instead of calling the authorities, I came up with a plan.

That night, I sprayed his entire fence with animal attractant — the kind that smells irresistible to dogs, raccoons, and foxes. Within days, every creature in the neighborhood was using his fence as their personal bathroom.

Jeffrey tried scrubbing, spraying, even bleaching — but nothing worked. The smell spread through the block, and neighbors started complaining.

A week later, I woke up to the sound of drills. Jeffrey had hired workers to tear down the fence.

Later, he came over, red-faced.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I shouldn’t have built it without asking.”

I smiled. “Apology accepted.”

Now, my boys can see the trees again — and Jeffrey? He’ll never forget the lesson I taught him.
