So does anyone have one or not?

One of my neighbors complained about a dealer selling heroin at the neighborhood 7-11. How'd they know it's heroin?
Could be meth, or good old cocaine, or a local artisanal spice vendor...
Well, too many stupid ones to post today. Lady has a squirrel that is running around in circles in her yard. They finally caught it in a bucket, but are trying to find division of wildlife, parks, animal control or someone to deal with it. I suggested just filling the bucket with water. That set everyone off. lol
Amazing how much effort and time they are wasting over a mostly dead animal that is plentiful in the world. Calling all these agencies and none of them have offered to respond.
Reminds me of this:

Sounds like the circle of life to me.
Someone found a ferret in our neighborhood.
Some girl was trying to troll everyone about a recent law change in Thornton that now allows residents to keep chickens. She failed, hard. Despite being an obvious troll, some even dumber people were still trying to help her. I'd post examples, but it got deleted.
I like how she has a keen understanding what a wild animal is thinking.
I live on the easternmost part of Candelas across from the Rocky Flats open space. This AM I was outside with my small morkie and an owl came swooping in from who knows where as if he were going after the dog and then changed his mind and went straight up over the house at the last minute as I moved slightly forward toward the dog. It had a huge wingspan and was not the least bit scared of me as he was on a mission for food.
We have a lot of critters with offspring who are still being fed by their mothers. Please be aware of your surroundings when outside and don't get too far from your small animals. We do live in a bit of wilderness.
Wonder if TheGrey has seen this drama?

Why are some of you even involved with a "social media" site that allows ones neighbors in the area outside your immediate block to have anything to do with you?
Up here, our social media is called knocking on the neighbors door.

Do you know the parties in question? Is the (rental) house really that bad?
You won't see me post anything. Ever. If I do it's a response on a house tip or "help me find x" type post. I am on there because a neighbor I know in real life (really good people btw) asked me to join to start up a presence for our side of HR. So I did.
We get updates on crime and other goings on. If a neighbor needed help I would like to know if I can help. I hear about things from DougCo Sheriff before they hit the news and are filtered.
BTW, the webs are now giving up (for free) far more info than most people voluntarily provide to the socials anyway. Plug yourself into this...

Yup, I keep it around to see what types of people my neighbors are. It really helps identify the ones you want to avoid. Lol. But I stay far away from any drama posts or arguing. WAY too close to home.
I use it frequently if i spot a dog running loose with no owner. Has helped me locate/return more than a few dogs.
Some pretty funny stuff on our neighborhood's FB page recently. So this weekend the pool to the west was closed because of an electrical fire that made it unsafe to be near the pool... bummer, guess they'll have to go to the pool on the east side of the development. Well, yesterday a kid pooped on the deck close enough to the pool to cause an issue that had to close the pool down for decontamination. Now all the housewives are losing their shit because they can't take their kiddos to the pool while they aren't in school. One lady even made a "poop deck" navy joke out of the whole fiasco- most didn't find it funny at all.
I have an idea of which house it is.
I think my idea of 'bad' vs what others may consider 'bad' may be quite different. I've got a trailer parked on the side of our driveway on our property, and I don't think twice about it. They don't have trash on their lawn that I recall. Then again, if anyone approaches me about the way our front yard looks, I cheerfully ask them if they think pink flamingos will clash with the Broncos-themed blue-and-orange astroturf we're thinking of putting in?
I am a huge fan of no HOA = do what you want with YOUR property.
As far as the sniping neighbrs in the Nextdoor site...I think they just hate each other.
Just wait until it gets closer to July 4th. We'll have TONS of quibbling posts about fireworks.
Next time I find a pink flamingo on clearance I'm totally installing it in your yard
We sometimes see strange stuff here in Canton around the "First Monday trade days"... the Thurs-Sun before the first Monday of every month Canton hosts the largest swap meet in North America... between 250k-400k people come thru our little town in 4 days.
Just this last Saturday I saw a pickup with 6-8 GIANT pink flamingos in the back (they were sticking up above the cab)... I should have taken a picture
Nobody in our area on nextdoor to speak of... I deleted my account, Nextdoor couldn't even resolve my home address. But there is a facebook group my wife joined for lost dogs, neighborhood watch, etc.

There must be a lot of background missing from that post!
I have a love/hate with the HOA. I don't like another layer of government but I also don't like it when a neighborhood goes downhill. Equally worse, when there is no HOA and busybodies take it upon themselves to police the neighborhood (happened in my Parker subdivision).
When an HOA works for you, I agree. Most of the are extortionistic busybodies that charge you money for the privilege of informing you that you cannot install a brass kickplate on your door, or that you can only have two vehicles or some other bullshit.
We've got a thread on Nextdoor going on about three houses that may or may not be abandoned on a specific street, and their yards look like hell- what can be done? Every year it's the same. One year, the home owner turned out to be an elderly invalid, so the neighbors got together and worked a rotating schedule for lawn care for him. :) There are times when Nextdoor's power can be used for good.
Then there are other times when it provides the Hatfields and the McCoys more ammo for continued warfare...
Some gal just posted that she needs her hedge trimmed. After a few beers I'm going to make a few comments.
We are in a covenant (no HOA fees) "community". They actually have it so one must be approved for something as simple as a storm door. We will likely stay here long enough for the home value to appreciate enough to move out. Don't want to be in a HOA anymore. I'd rather have Uncle Cletus' rusting, on blocks 68 Ford next door and be able to do whatever the heck I want/need w/ my house. Goal will be to move to a place w/ a little land. Being in an HOA brings out my feisty libertarian streak (concerning issues not of moral importance).
I hear ya. We have a voluntary HOA for those that feel the desperate need to pay to belong to something, and there are some covenants that came with the place. Most of them made sense: leave a 3' easement in the back yard for workers installing cable, no roosters, and stuff like that. The one that infuriates me is that the Architectual something-or-other has to give their 'permission' in order to change our sliding glass deck door to french doors. I don't know why. It doesn't affect us right now (but may in the future if we decide to go that route), and I understand that DC won't allow any permits to be pulled without the committee's approval...but it chaps my butt just the same.
