Started good and actually similar thing happened to me. I have a problematic neighbor and once, he insulted my mother when they were outside, then when he returned he banged on our door and this is when I said enough was enough.

What is immediately clear to the viewer is that over a two year period of filming, Susan Lorincz is ill. Now I'm no psychiatrist but if you are police officers constantly being called to a property by a woman who is claiming all sorts of often quite trivial infractions on her property by her neighbours, you might start to wonder whether or not she is just an attention seeking nuisance or perhaps something more akin to a paranoid individual. Her neighbours are by no means perfect, and it seems likely that on occasion their dogs and/or their children are actually trespassing on her property, but her reactions seem to indicate something much more traumatic is going
