Er, and of course *before* complaining, you went out to the driveway
and attempted to see in under various lighting conditions, right?

Yep, during broad daylight you can see into my bedroom windows. If I have
the lights on I can't see out but people can see *in*.

If people /can/ see in, have you checked at your local Lowe's or
Builder's Square or Menard's for sheets of easy-to-apply reflective
film?

Why should I spend my money on this?

This also doesn't address the fact that the yard workers are peering over
the fence at me when I'm outside, making me feel uncomfortable. Heck, I
don't know where these guys come from. For all I know they could have been
recently released from prison.

In my nine years tenency I've had a couple of "maintenance" workers make me
feel uncomfortable. One was the guy who was leaning over my fence when I
was filling the bird feeder; he hadn't worked there in years. When he did
work here and a huge storm came up causing a massive electrical outage, he
felt it necessary to knock on my door to make sure I wasn't late for work.
He even asked me if I'd seen him shining his flashlight around at 3 AM. I
complained to the manager. I already knew my office was closed. It was not
his job to make sure I went to work.

Then there was the other maintenance guy who started leaving me notes and
things like wind-chimes as "gifts". He saw me sitting out there and also
noticed I have wind-chimes on my patio. Okay, this got a tad too creepy. I
called the manager; does this guy have a key to my apartment? Yes, he did.
I filed a complaint and had the office change my locks and make sure he
didn't have a key. He was living there at half cost in exchange for doing
some routine maintenance around the place. Routine maintenance doesn't
include leaving notes and little gifts. It wasn't the first time he'd been
reported for approaching women he thought were single. He didn't live there
much longer.
