An elderly woman has been slapped with a restraining order after stealing plant pots from a next door neighbour for her own garden.
Elaine Kelly, 71, also helped herself to lighting and decorations as she ransacked Patricia Thorley's shed in a bid to liven up her back yard.
Her target, who lived in the adjoining bungalow, said around £1,000 worth of items mysteriously went missing over a period of several years, including clothing, food and even sanitary products on occasions when she invited Kelly into her home.
Kelly also made her neighbour feel 'uncomfortable' and dictated to her how she should arrange her own garden area.
The whole ordeal eventually led to Ms Thorley moving out of her bungalow.
