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.'

Man rescued after two days in wilderness 'had been left behind by family after birthday party'
A 42-year-old man who had been left behind in wilderness near a lake known to visitors as 'Dead Body Soup' by his family at a birthday party was rescued after two days on his own. The unidentified man was left behind at the Lake Mead reservoir which stretches across Arizona and Nevada and often sees travelers lost to the park's strikingly blue waters. From 2013 to 2023, the park officially averaged about 21 deaths a year, far surpassing those at the Grand Canyon and Yosemite, which rank as the second and third deadliest parks with an average of 13 and 11 fatalities each year, respectively. But the real number is likely way higher as some people are never reported missing and it can take decades for a corpse to be found in the water, washed up on shore or spotted in the wilderness. Sure enough, officials with the Mohave County Sheriff's Office were searching for a different person in the park on July 29 when a nearby fisherman dialed 911. The fisherman told officers that he'd heard someone crying for help and begging for any water nearby. Deputies found their initial missing person and then contacted the National Park Service. The man was last seen at the park two nights earlier at a party with his family, who ultimately left him behind after he could not be found. The unidentified man was left behind at the Lake Mead reservoir which stretches across Arizona and Nevada and often sees travelers lost to the park's strikingly blue waters The sheriff's office said that they had 'left a few supplies behind for him before leaving the area.' However, they did not report him as missing until noon the next day, hours after they'd last seen him. As they got to the Kingman Wash area where they'd initially been called from, fishermen echoed the 911 call in saying they'd hear a man crying for help. Eventually, rescuers found the man on a steep hill just west of Kingman Wash. When they recovered him, the man had no food or water and wasn't wearing a shirt. They immediately replenished him with some water and electrolytes before taking him in for medical treatment. 'It remains unclear why Mohave County was not initially notified of the missing person report filed with NPS the day before,' said the sheriff's office in a statement. The sheriff also thanked the rescuers and search teams for their efforts. The lost man has yet to be publicly identified nor has a reason been given for his disappearance or the slow report of his going missing. The lake is actually a reservoir – the largest in the US, formed after the federal government built Hoover Dam on the Colorado River about 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas. Now part of the National Park Service, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area includes lakes Mead and Mohave, along with 1.5 million acres of mountains, canyons, valleys and shoreline in Southern Nevada and Northwestern Arizona. The Daily Mail reported in May that the bodies of bankrupt gamblers, cuckolded spouses, depressed teens and terminally ill patients have been found in its water and along its shoreline. Several people have also jumped to their deaths from Hoover Dam and off a bridge next to it that's 1,500 feet from the lake. Scientists, water planners, politicians, climate activists and student groups from around the world make trips to Lake Mead, snapping pictures of the ring as glaring proof of climate change and visible evidence of urgent flaws in Western water policy. sunk in the lake in the 1940s.

USPS worker who stole checks from the mail arrested after flashing cash on social media
A Los Angeles postal worker has admitted to stealing people's checks and credit cards from their mail while flaunting stacks of cash on social media. Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, of Carson, California, an ex-employee of the US Postal Service in Torrance, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. She was arrested for the crime that victimized individuals, as well as federal banks and credit unions, on July 1 and has remained in custody since. From at least 2022 to July 2025, Magadamit abused her letter carrier position, according to a statement from the US Attorney's Office. She snatched checks, personal identifying information, debit cards and credit cards en route to people's mailboxes - all while sharing pictures of herself posing with thick wads of money on the internet. In one picture, she donned a Yankee hat while leaning a stack of bills that spanned the length of her face up against it. She sprawled out a fan of bills - about half of which appeared to have been hundreds - across her lap in a car in another shot. Magdamit activated the bank cards online and used them to make massive purchases with the stolen funds, including lavish trips to Aruba and Turks and Caicos. In a photo uploaded to her Instagram story, Magdamit held a glass of champagne as she lounged by an infinity pool, writing 'life is gooood.' She even dished out some of the cards to her co-conspirators and made them fraudulently cash the stolen checks 'using counterfeit identity documents in the name of the check's payee,' the statement reads. Magdamit's digital footprint seemingly sounded the alarm to authorities and led them straight to her door when they picked up on the mysterious missing mail pattern in the Torrance area. Her apartment was raided in December 2024 in connection with the scheme, and investigators were greeted with a slew of incriminating evidence. Law enforcement seized 133 stolen debit and credit cards, 16 US Department of Treasury checks and a loaded ghost gun with an extended 27-round magazine, the Attorney's Office wrote. A ghost gun is an unserialized Glock-style gun assembled by its owner, often forgoing the licensing required to be a legal weapon. But she was not arrested until about seven months later after agents discovered Magdamit had not learned her lesson. She had continued splurging on items with hefty price tags and the feds caught on once again. They probed her apartment once again, finding more stolen cards. The office did not share the exact number. But they did note that Magdamit 'agreed to forfeit a Rolex watch and other luxury goods.' She is due to appear in court on October 27 and faces a maximum of 30 years in federal prison. Mail theft in general has become an increasingly pressing issue across the nation. In an audit report shared by the USPS in 2023, the agency was found to have had a plan in place to tackle the matter, but it was not being well executed. 'We found they do not have deployment timelines with actionable milestones to fully implement planned initiatives to address mail theft,' the report reads. 'We also found that the Postal Service lacks accountability for their arrow keys, which are often a target in carrier robberies and are used to commit mail theft.' In another report, which was released in May using data from 2024, the agency revealed more than 58 million packages were stolen during the year. The Office of Inspector General published an internal report for 2024 that specifically addressed the problem of 'internal mail theft.' The document alleged that criminal groups are 'targeting, recruiting and colluding with postal employees to move narcotics through the postal network and to steal checks – both personal and government-issued checks – credit cards and other valuables from the mail.'

High school basketball player sues coach for assault and bullying after he pulled her hair in outburst that shocked the world
A high school basketball player whose coach aggressively pulled her hair during a New York championship game has filed a lawsuit alleging assault and a pattern of abusive behavior. Jim Zullo, 81, was immediately fired as head coach of the Northville High School girls' basketball team in March after he was caught on video in a furious rant, pulling a player's hair just moments after the team's championship loss. On Monday, the teen, identified as senior Hailey Monroe, filed a lawsuit against both Zullo and the Northville Central School District, as reported by the Daily Gazette. Monroe is alleging not only aggressive and bullying behavior by Zullo during the game, but also a troubling pattern of similar misconduct - one she says the school was fully aware of. The lawsuit, obtained by the outlet, first references the violent incident, which went massively viral - garnering millions of views and circulating widely across both social media and national television. According to the docs, Zullo became enraged following the team's 43–37 loss in the New York State Class D championship game on March 21. During his tantrum, the head coach reportedly erupted into a screaming fury at Monroe before violently grabbing and yanking her hair in front of stunned teammates and spectators. The suit states that this was not an isolated incident, alleging that Zullo has a 'reputation and history of inappropriate, aggressive, and dangerous conduct' toward his young team members - including Monroe. More specifically, he 'had a long history of both physical and psychological abuse of students both in and out of the Northville Central School District,' according to the complaint. The suit further alleges that the school district had already been made aware of Zullo's tendency to erupt into aggressive episodes, specifically targeting the teenage girls on his team. Despite allegedly being aware of the ongoing situation, the district failed to take appropriate action to protect its students from the abuse, the suit claims, according to CBS 6 Albany News. The lawsuit, filed by Monroe's attorneys at Anderson, Moschetti & Taffany, PLLC, in the Supreme Court of New York, seeks an unspecified amount in damages, according to Daily Gazette. However, it does note that they are seeking damages for the 'injuries, expenses, and damages' resulting from the March assault. Monroe's legal team alleges that the coach's despicable actions, captured on camera, were a result of the district's negligence, which contributed to the teen's injuries. Monroe has also been 'substantially damaged and suffered a monetary loss' as a result of the incident following the championship game, her legal team claims, as reported by the Daily Gazette. Both the Northville Central School District and Zullo have been formally served and now have 20 days to respond to the complaint - or risk a default judgment being issued against them, according to CBS. At the end of the championship game held at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York, the now-infamous video captured Zullo yanking Monroe's hair - who was believed to be just 17 or 18 years old at the time. Moments later, another player - believed to be Ahmya Tompkins, reportedly Zullo's niece - stepped between Monroe and the coach, appearing to intervene. Zullo began shouting at both players, as he and Tompkins pointed fingers at each other in a tense exchange - all while Monroe stood nearly frozen, visibly shaken and in tears. Expert Nicola Hickling, founder of LipReader, revealed to Daily Mail what Zullo said to his players during his rant after reviewing the footage. According to Hickling, Tompkins wrapped her arm around Monroe to shield her teammate and firmly told the coach, 'Leave her. That's not okay.' Zullo fired back, but Tompkins stood her ground and told him again, 'No, leave her.' Enraged, he spun around, leaned in, and snapped, 'You shut it.' After the video went viral and drew millions of views, Zullo was swiftly removed from his position. He later spoke out, expressing remorse for his actions. 'I deeply regret my behavior,' Zullo said in a statement to ABC. 'As a coach, under no circumstance is it acceptable to put my hands on a player, and I am truly sorry. I wish I could have those moments back.' The former coach later told News10 ABC that Monroe had cursed at him after he instructed her to shake hands with the opposing team - a response he claimed triggered the hair-pulling altercation. Nevertheless, just days after the incident, Zullo was charged with second-degree harassment and summoned to court. Last month, he pleaded guilty to the charge and paid a $120 surcharge, according to the Daily Gazette. As part of the resolution, he was also issued a one-year order of protection, barring him from any contact with Monroe.
