[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would respond with

We didn’t throw away anything sharp, and our trash was fully contained in our bins, not loose at the curb. You getting a flat tire has absolutely nothing to do with us. It happened on public property on the public street.

Don’t mention you have camera footage. But Save that if they escalate. [/quote]

Though I'd nice it up a bit.

"What a bummer that happened to you! We didn’t throw away anything sharp, and our trash was fully contained in our bins, not loose at the curb. Not sure where that nail came from, but very unlikely to have come from us. Best of luck with your car!"[/quote]

Nope. You can’t nice it up with people like this. Your version states “very unlikely to have come from us”. That leaves the crazy neighbor with ammunition that there is in fact a slight chance the sharp object came from OP. The previous version state clearly with certainty it did not come from OP.

And it is always better to have the husband send the text. Most men feel no obligation to nice anything up. [/quote]
