just to play devil's advocate you're sure she's not suffering from mental illness/alzheimers/other ?
she is probably in her late 60s and seems to be totally lucid. I don't know about mental illness. She doesn't speak English well so we haven't spoken much. No other incidents. I was friends with her son in high school but never met her. He isn't around to help me out with his crazy mother.
i will never look at a loofah the same way again. I will always wonder if it was swiped or allowed to grow til it was ready to come off the plant. RIP, loofah plants!
This is crazy! Have any of the other neighbors had any run-ins with her? I can't imagine what she was thinking. She must have some illness. No person in their right mind would do this.
