After moving into a new house in Illinois, with plenty of outdoor space for his three kids, a man set up an above-ground pool meant to keep the kids entertained while he and his wife tackled the overgrown garden themselves.

When a neighbor two doors down complained about the noise, the father apologized instinctively but also pointed out the kids were simply having fun within a fairly reasonable daily window.

Confusingly, the neighbor claimed people on both immediate sides shared the same frustration, yet one of those neighbors, someone he regularly talks to, had never mentioned a single issue.

He was left genuinely unsure whether the noise really was a widespread concern, or one person’s particular sensitivity.

It still amazes me how, despite cameras being literally fucking everywhere nowadays, anyone still thinks they can get away with stuff like this. If this camera hadn't caught her, another neighbor's car/exterior security/Ring cam would have. Commit stupid crimes, suffer stupid penalties. AND the hole in the pool, even if a 'slit', is probably not THAT hard to patch.
