The neighbor's rat family has been enjoying our pear crop this year. They have eaten over half of the pears on the tree. So far they haven't developed a taste for the squash or tomatoes in the garden nearby.We also wrote notes to the neighbors who have been parking too close to our driveway. I put some bright orange tree marking paint on the curb to try to "guide" the drivers. I have their license numbers and will use the "three strikes and you get a ticket" approach.
