Sheriff’s deputies in Washington’s Kitsap County frequently get calls about animals — loose livestock, problem dogs. But the 911 call they received recently from a woman being hounded by dozens of raccoons swarming her home near Poulsbo stood out. The woman reported having had to flee her property after 50 to 100 raccoons descended upon it and were acting aggressively, said Kevin McCarty, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. She told deputies she started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago and it was fine until about six weeks earlier, when the number showing up went from a handful to around 100. “She said those raccoons were becoming increasingly...

Neighbours fight everywhere in the world. But when it leads you to lose $59,623 (Rs 50 lakh), it no longer classifies as a regular tussle. A couple in Britain lost all their life savings because of a legal battle with their neighbours, all over two fence panels, Daily Mail reported. Graham and Katherine Bateson objected when Wendy Leedham put the barrier up on the shared driveway between their two bungalows in 2019. The couple insisted the properties had what was described as a 'featureless boundary' when they bought their home in 1987 and launched litigation. This dragged on for nearly three years when a mediation hearing ruled the fence could stay. Mrs Leedham didn't survive to see...

Picture this: You’re relaxing at the end of a long day, looking out over your gorgeous 85-acre home while toasting your good fortune with a nice glass of wine. Oh, and that wine? Made from your own vineyard. That’s the blissful scenario available to one lucky homebuyer and entrepreneur with enough vision (and cash) to take on ownership of a winery compound in the iconic region of Paso Robles, CA (aka “the new Napa“). The 85-acre family estate includes 57 acres of “meticulously maintained vines,” as well as two residences, a boutique winery, and a tasting room to boot. So it’s perhaps unsurprising that this real estate gem is being described by...
