Bird is the word: Neighbor has a bone to pick

What would you do if you had the worst nightmare of a neighbor? We’re talking about someone who blasts loud music, ogles your family and startles your pets with propane cannons. Well, that’s what Diana Hogrebe claims motivated her to steal a plastic skeleton from the window of her neighbor’s home. The man, who moved in less than a year ago, has been seen as a nuisance by everyone in the neighborhood.

So when Hogrebe saw the skeleton flipping her off through the window, she finally decided enough was enough. Unfortunately for Hogrebe, her troll of a neighbor planted security cameras around her house and caught the act on tape. Now she is in legal hot water, and the skeleton is nowhere to be found. No regrets. Compared to the skeleton she stole, we don’t think she could fit this one in her car.
