Charlotte was shocked when she discovered her neighbors had been using her hot tub for a year. Determined to teach them a lesson, she uncovered even more secrets about her neighbors.
Charlotte and Tom had bought their dream house with a beautiful backyard and hot tub, which they loved using. However, due to their busy schedules, the hot tub had been neglected. One day, their neighbor Lisa complained about noise coming from their backyard, which surprised Charlotte since they had been away. To investigate, they set up a hidden camera.
The footage revealed their neighbors, Jim and his family, using the hot tub and making noise. Charlotte and Tom were furious and decided to take action. They installed an automatic lock on the gate and added a harmless dye to the hot tub water that would turn skin green after prolonged exposure.
The following weekend, they pretended to leave again and watched as Jim’s family entered the hot tub. When their skin turned green, they panicked and were trapped by the automatic lock. Confronted by Charlotte, they were speechless.
Charlotte uploaded the video to the neighborhood watch group, and other neighbors shared similar stories about Jim’s behavior. It turned out Jim was running an underground Airbnb, using the neighborhood’s amenities to attract guests. The police were contacted, and Jim was arrested for fraud and trespassing.
The neighborhood became closer and more vigilant. Charlotte and Tom were relieved to have their hot tub back and appreciated the stronger sense of community. “We got our home back,” Charlotte said, holding Tom’s hand, grateful for the strengthened neighborhood bonds.
