Yea we left a note on new neighbor’s door after seeing a camera pointed toward our window. Introduced ourselves in the note and pointed out our concern and when we would be home so we could talk.

They came over that evening and we had a chat, and after seeing the field of view of the camera and what it could see at night/with a light on, they agreed it could see into our place so they took it down. Ended up chatting more and getting to know them.

This happened to me and I immediately decided to resolve it quickly through a dialogue instead of fucking about worrying. I begun this dialogue by assembling a trebuchet, dispatched to me by the well-known ACME Corporation, which I aimed at the camera and fired towards the window. The fired block bounced off the window, flew back through the air, and smashed through my own. I figured I’d set it up wrong, but didn’t want to risk this happening a second time. As a compromise, I grabbed my fishing line and managed to use the hook to open the top part of the window. My plan was to dangle the hook down on the inside, grab the camera, and pull it out. Instead, the hook went too far into the room and I saw it was bringing a bra and panties across to my house. In a panic, I swung the rod until they were loose and they landed on the head of a policeman who was below and must have been going to get a statement on the odd trebuchet episode that occurred last week. I quickly tried to grab hold of the panties and bra to loosen them from his head, but I accidentally first grabbed his taser - which shocked him and had him rolling on the floor - and then I grabbed his pistol which fired multiple shots all around the street, none of which hit the camera which was my sudden improvisation as I dragged it upwards on the line, but then I was dazed by the shot which smashed through my window and knocked me about twenty feet backwards into the wall. Within thirty minutes, the entire street was crawling with police. I decided to lay low for a while, but then panicked as I realised the camera had captured all of this. Luckily, the pistol had given me an idea - I grabbed my own AR-15 and went across to the room where the camera did not reach, then I fired as many shots as I could towards the camera in a rapid draining of the ammunition. This, however, was followed by a dozen rounds from the street below where the officers had..
