Of course, she just suspects this, has no proof:

Why??? IMO: mean people suck!


 Looks like someone put soap in my koi pond.
One dead fish, three unaccounted for thus far.

6. This is a seniors only community. We are all 55+.

It could have been a visitor but I doubt it.

The pond is right outside the window where I have my computer. Nothing was wrong when I went to bed last night. There are street lamps plus the fountain is lit. We also have a solar powered dragonfly floating around.
 
It took guts/stupidity to poison my pond.

How bad is a DUmmie when even his/her fish run away.

I suppose it could be intentional soap poisioning - but I'm more inclined to believe that a failing septic is the cause.

Raccoons like to wash their hands before they eat.

27. Can't do a fence.
Also can't afford a camera.

This DUmmy can afford to live in an adult community and can afford to build a fish pond but cannot afford a $60.00 game camera.

Sounds reasonable.

Nor can she afford a $15 webcam to record video to her hard drive?

I feel more sorry for the koi than the DUmmy.

I killed more koi in my pond when I had one by overfilling it.

Three fish "unaccounted for?"  How flippin' big is that pond? 

I'm betting raccoon or some such.  And, I'm betting the DUmmy doesn't know the difference between soap and the sudsy scum from a dirty animal romping in the water.  Ewww.  Just figured out that may be what her own tub ends up looking like.
