Auto-translated to English by AIToo bad we don't have nice neighbours. That sometimes makes me sad. A few years ago they hung our dog. And a friend was spat on and beaten with a dog leash until she bled. Then I think why. Why do they do that. I have no idea. Stadlander also says the light is not on you. But I'm still bothered by it.
