About the same time you posted your comment, I was in the middle of a divorce and was battling to save my son’s childhood home. Every morning my house was PLASTERED with unsolicited “offers of help” – printed on neon colored paper for all my longtime neighbors to see – saying my home was in foreclosure (when it was not, yet). I can’t tell you how demoralizing and embarrassing this was for me. I called the company who posted they flyers – many times, asking them to please stop – top no avail. I called the police and was told it was not illegal for them to tape these obnoxious signs all over my windows, front door, patio doors – anywhere they could access (even by climbing a small fence onto my patio). It was really upsetting and there was nothing I could do about it. Hopefully by now the laws have changed, but I totally understand why you were unhappy with those who posted solicitations on your stucco wall. At least they used painter’s tape – my attackers were not so considerate. To this day. I cannot understand what would make one person think it’s okay to prey and attack another human being who is obviously in crisis already. In the end, I lost my home. It would have been better had I at least been able to preserve some level of privacy and self respect. Thanks to these monsters, neighbors I’d known for many years had a front row seat to what should have been a very personal matter. My son, now grown, still remembers his mother, in tears, going out in my robe at he crack of dawn each morning to tear down the signs left in the middle of the night. Nice.
