Should I be concerned? Neighbor issues.

Once a month she calls me to come over and clean up/fix her computer. I don't know why I don't just say no, but I do it every time.

An old boss I had and didn't get along with once brought in his daughter's laptop which had a HD crash and asked me to see if I could recover any files. I was able to get access to the files and burned them to CD for him. Included in the files were some... risque pictures that his daughter (over 18!) had apparently taken for a boyfriend. Those shots MAY have been stashed somewhere as a bartering chip should our relationship ever have gone south. Not saying you should snoop of course while fixing, but you never know what files may be causing a problem... :angel:

and that's why you should never trust anyone to fix your comp...
Also, sometimes it's as easy as taking the hdd out and using an external hdd dock to recover data.

After the 2nd time I just ghosted her computer post-fix and kept the copy. Now, when I have to fix, I just restore the ghost image. Easy peasy japanesey.
And honestly...there are no risque pictures involving an octogenarian that I would ever be interested in, unless it's an 80 year old copy of that contra ad in 2065.

Thanks for all the support guys! I have been too worked up to post anything on the subject over the weekend.
Really Really long story short is they painted on my stuff, and I just cleaned it up to avoid damages. I talked to neighbors and painters and nothing got accomplished. I can go into details later, even after all they did to my stuff, I still tried the civil route trying to work things out and compromise to just let them finish and be done. After I proposed a few reasonable solutions, which they admitted they could easily do but just were not going to, they resorted just end up throwing out insults and walking away. I asked them what they solution was, and the painters and neighbors both said they were fine not painting that wall. That's a solution for me. Their house can look like ass, not my problem.
There is a lot more to the story, I just don't feel up to posting a 10 page summary of the issue.

So today, my wife went out with her camera to check out our property for any further damages. Not even realizing the painters were here, she saw that they were working on our driveway and had stuff sprawled all over it. They weren't painting, they were taking off tape and putting the gutter drains back. Stuff they could have easily done from their property. My wife snapped some photos quick, then told the guy to get off our driveway. The painter went into a storm of profanity screaming at her. She held her ground and her cool and told him to get off or she would call the cops for trespassing. The guy picked up his ladder and pretending not to know where my wife was, swung it right at her. My wife dodged it, and then the painter went over to her roses and stomped on one of the bushes out of spite before leaving the driveway. My wife is really shaken, but wife doesn't want to call the cops over it, and the painters have also ditched shortly after the incident.
This has gotten really ugly....but this might all be over for a while at least, it's too early to say.

Oh man-- did she at least get the license plate number off of the vehicle?
