When it comes to helping out your neighbor, there’s a fine line between being a good neighbor and being taken advantage of. One woman found herself in a sticky situation when her neighbor made a rather outrageous request – and didn’t take no for an answer.
After installing some outdoor cameras for extra security, the woman’s neighbor approached her with some questions about the cameras. But things took a turn when he asked her to adjust the angles so his house would be in view. When she refused and suggested he get his own cameras, he threatened to report her to the Homeowner Association.
Fortunately, the HOA backed her up, stating she was within her rights to deny access to her cameras. And it seems the neighbor’s reaction wasn’t well-received by others in the neighborhood, as he decided to pull out of the neighborhood watch, claiming neighbors weren’t looking out for each other.
Commenters on the post agreed with the woman’s decision, pointing out that giving access to camera footage would violate her privacy. One person even called out the neighbor for wanting the benefits of security without paying for it.
In the end, it looks like this neighborly dispute won’t be resolved anytime soon. But one thing’s for sure – sometimes, helping out your neighbor just isn’t possible.
