What is the problem? Keep your kids and pets off his lawn and there is no safety issue.

This. I mean, how is this a problem? It’s not a problem if you and your little cretins stay where you should.

You don't see the issue with young kids and preschoolers going to neighbor's houses on Halloween and not realizing that this guy has barbed wire everywhere? I'm sure his immediate neighbors know about him, but kids trick or treat from several streets away. Also, this is a block away from an elementary school that kids walk to.

But young kids and preschoolers will be out with their parents who WILL notice the barbed wire.

It's pushed down in his grass. Honestly in the dark you might not see it. And it's along sidewalks.

So these preschoolers are going out with no adult supervision? Get a grip and rachet down your hysteria. You have no right to tell this neighbor what to do.

Agree. And I'm not a psycho. I just don't let my kids/dog run wild. If the fence is visible, can't say you weren't warned.

Second best idea following the stealthy poop sling shot!

No, I don’t see an issue. The kids should be taught to stay off people’s yards. If they’re trick or treating they should either be supervised by an adult or stay on a walkway (if he even opens his door). Why would your kids be in the lawn if they have been taught proper manners and respect of property, or are supervised? Again—should not be an issue at all.

Not sure what city you are in, but even leesburg has laws against this in residential areas.

OMG.. some of you people are crazy (or trolls) to think it's fine for someone to put barbed wire around their front lawn in a TH. And yes, I hate it when dogs poop on my yard too, but dang, to put barbed wire out like it's a warzone or you have some biochemicals in your home that you are protecting.. sheesh. Over the top. This is the kind of person who will shoot anyone who dares knock on his front door.

OP here. I don't really have a dog in the fight (literally). I don't like how this has divided the neighborhood and how malicious it is, especially since he specifically is targeting kids and dogs.

Probably mostly dogs.

Kids don't poop and pee on other people's lawns.

And if they don't stay off people's yards, and they get injured on the barbed wire (or land mines) that the neighbor put there, that's their own fault, because they shouldn't have done that! Right?

Either that, or you don't put known hazards in places where people might innocently go even though they're not supposed to.

This is nuts. Kids wander off, it happens. Pets accidentally get out of the house and run around the neighborhood. It part of life in a dense neighborhood that is convenient to the city.

You want a homestead with no trespassing, tall fences, and barb wire? Move to the countryside. What galls me is that this neighbor is purposely trying to injure animals and neighbors. WTF.

OP: you need to lead a coalition to change the HOA rules and ban the barb wire. It's ugly, dangerous, and may leave your HOA open to a lawsuit (eg, injured USPS or package delivery worker).

OP here. Guarantee that this is legitimate. I do think other people might be trolling. Or maybe I'm just surprised people don't care about a neighbor trying to injure dogs and children.

I'd feel differently if this were a SFH or had more land. It's a townhouse with a small yard

OP here. Apparently it's not. The police verified that.
