Residents of one neighbourhood became angry with their neighbours for no reason and painted the homeowner’s house without her permission, which was a shocking turn of events.
Victoria, the homeowner, was used to her neighbours, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, always being mean to her about how bright yellow her house was. Even though they didn’t like it, Victoria loved the bright colour and didn’t see any reason to change it.
But while Victoria was away for two weeks, the Davis family saw a chance to do something. They hired a painting company to paint Victoria’s house a dull grey colour, saying that they owned the house and gave permission for the work to be done.
Victoria was very upset when she got home and saw that someone had changed the paint job without her permission. She called the police and the painting company right away and asked them why they did the job without her permission.
The investigation showed that the Davis family had faked Victoria’s signature on the work order, but the painting company had done nothing wrong. But Victoria was set on taking action against her neighbours for being dishonest and hurtful.
Victoria sued the Davises, and in court, workers from the painting company said bad things about them. The Davises were found guilty of theft and vandalism by the judge. They were given community service and told to paint Victoria’s house back the way it was when it was new.
As Victoria left the courts, she felt safe and like she had been righted. She had stood up for her rights and kept her neighbours’ bad behaviour from hurting her property. The whole thing was stressful and mentally draining, but justice was done in the end.
