A woman in a new build area with the last large lot on her street had to kick strangers off her private property. She installed a big play area a few years ago for nieces/nephews/eventual grandkids, which people often mistake as a town park. Recently, a couple and their kid started playing on the playground, and the woman had to intervene. The situation escalated quickly, and the woman had to call the police. The couple threatened to post about her on Reddit and tell people where she lives. But was she justified in asking them to leave? Read on to find out.

Elderly woman's private property invaded by strangers and their threats 🐶

An elderly woman's peaceful morning turned into a nightmare when she discovered strangers playing on her private property. The woman's dogs, bred to guard and detain intruders, barked at the strangers, causing them to scream and yell. Despite the woman's attempts to explain that the area was her yard, not a public park, the strangers continued to argue and threaten her. The situation escalated to the point where the woman had to call the police. The strangers then threatened to post about the incident on Reddit, causing the woman to fear for her safety. While the woman's dogs may have scared the strangers, their yelling and threatening behavior was completely unwarranted. The woman's children are even questioning if their mother was in the wrong for wanting people to stay off her property. However, it is important to respect people's private property, especially when they have signs posted warning against trespassing. Stay tuned for the reactions and comments on this shocking incident.
