New neighbors moved in next door\u2014Maria and Luis\u2014who quickly transformed their garden into something beautiful. My wife, Teresa, became best friends with Maria, sharing stories and laughs. But soon, Maria and Luis started complaining about someone ruining their garden\u2014plants pulled out, soil tampered with\u2014and they feared they might have to move.<\/p>\n
Around the same time, Teresa developed a strange new habit: watering our garden at midnight, saying the moonlight was perfect for it.

Determined to stop the sabotage, we set up security cameras. A few nights later, we caught the culprits\u2014Todd and Claire, neighbors down the street. They were confronted, fined, and forced to repair the damage.<\/p>\n
