I only want to know if I get into trouble for posting the sign. I don't care if she steal the water. I don't want to talk to her. No it's not well water. It's cit water and she does it because she doesn't have a faucet near where she needs to water the lawn.

Tough shit ,she should put one in or piss off. Can you take her off your taxes as a dependant ?

I am sure it would piss her off. I don't know if she would try to call the city and try to get me into trouble. I don't know if I can get into trouble for doing so. I want to piss her off. But I am 100% sure she will be pissed off with such a sign.
The faucet is on the side of my house and is clearly in my property.

Get a backbone or live with it. BOHICA = bend over here it comes again.

I don't care if she is still doing it. I just wonder about the law on my posting the sign. I don't care to catch her in action. Can the city makes me take the sign down?

If you don't care if she is using your water, then why do you want to post a sign?

I doubt very much she will pay the bill.

I think hiring a plumber and installing a inside shut off valve will solve the problem. If the neighbor asks why there is no water coming from the spigot, tell them, “I am not from this planet, we don’t use water. It is directly absorbed through our skin!”

Viola!

You have solved two problems. Now the neighbor won’t bother with you.

By The Way, I don’t think that 7 pages are a waste. I found this thread quite entertaining.

No. Cutting the hose is vandalism and destruction of personal property.

Not if it is an illegal encroachment onto my property and theft of my utilities.
Don't overthink it. The solution is simple.

Get a backbone is your best solution. I don't understand someone stealing from you and you trying to find a way to stop them without confrontation. Anything you do will cause a confrontation only it is them coming to you instead of you going to them. You could have some fun, set up a game camera and get photos of them connecting up and print a few and hang them around the water hook up. They will get the message!

If they're brazen enough to steal your water, I doubt they'd get the message!

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE READING. He said he doesn't care about the stolen water. He only cares about annoying the neighbor and pissing her off. His goal is to create one more situation of neighbors feuding and hating each other. There aren't enough of those already. So stop offering solutions to the water theft. That is NOT the issue. Offer solutions on how to become that neighbor, his actual goal.

@BebuLamar - It is obvious, at this point, that your question was not serious. You have received many suggestions based on your original post, ranging from reasonable to inflammatory. While satisfying, I don't recommend the inflammatory, however, the other suggestions are meant to guide you through this so-called dilemma. Yet, based on your responses, I'm not convinced you were ever serious and I'm beginning to believe you have been pulling our chain, therefore, this whole thread has been a complete waste of our time which we could have applied to helping someone else. That a grown man with even an iota of life experience couldn't have figured this out without our involvement, is a mystery. Yet, the real tragedy is any of your future requests for help will be viewed through the lens of this thread, and you may not get the help you need when you really need it. You know the story about the boy hollering Wolf.

My question is strictly a legal question. Do I violate any law by posting such a sign. I know the sign is in my house and the water isn't dangerous but do I violating any law by posting such a sign? That's the question.
I am not pulling anybody leg.

They might lock you up but it won't be in a jail.

I am asking because I have a bottle of isopropryl acohol and citrus cleaner mix at work. I put the sign. DO NOT DRINK IT'S MY SPECIAL MIX on it and my boss doesn't like it.

For that you have to put your money where your obsession is. Hire a local attorney who specializes in civil and property law and will know the laws of where you live. Then confirm what he tells you with the city/county government. That is the only way to know for certain. Then play your silly games and be that neighbor.

Sigh! And, I have already responded that we are not lawyers and that you need someone with a law degree living in your state to answer that. Anything less is simply an opinion and not an answer to a legal question. But you really didn't need me to tell you that ... at least, I wouldn't think.
