At the end of June, my old neighbors moved out. They were always having loud parties and arguments and we had to call the police on them about 15 times in less than two years. In the beginning of July, we got some new neighbors. There is a 19-year-old and an 18-year-old living there now. On the other side of us, there is a mother, a father, and six kids ages 20, 15, 14, 13, and twelve-year-old twins. The people with six kids rent to the other neighbors. The 19-year-old from the one side is the girlfriend of the 20-year-old from the other side. So we are stuck in the middle. We went over and met the new neighbors to start on the right foot. They had 3 parties in the first two weeks they lived there and then more parties the following Friday (we needed to call the police that day due to loud music), Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Then on Sunday, me and my family went on a short vacation. We came back the following Thursday and we were carrying in our suitcases and there was a bat by the front door so my dad picked it up and threw it in the back. Next thing we know, the mother and 15-year-old came marching over and started yelling and claiming that it was their property. Then they started taking our stuff from the back that has been their for two years and started throwing it because now all of a sudden it's their property. My dad called the police and it was basically just one huge argument. For the past few days, the 15-year-old has been riding by our house on his bike yelling things. We can't even go outside and relax without having them yelling things to us. We have just been ignoring them. The other day, the 15-year-old left his bike laying in our yard for whatever reason. Then, last night, the 15-year-old walking into our yard and started cutting down little trees with his huge lawnmower so then we had little pieces of wood all over our yard. Then he left. Next thing we know, he walks over carrying a saw and started cutting down our lilac bushes! He never finished though and just left a heaping pile of branches in the back of our yard. I really don't want to move. What should we do??

Im not sure if you've tried it or not but maybe some video footage would help? Plus, what did the police do about the situation? This really must suck a lot, but I would think the best thing to do is to catch them in the act and take it to court

Hello l:

You should move.

excon

If the cops won't help you, get out there and kick some ing . It's one thing to have load partys but, it's another to with your stuff. Become insane, with them more. Let them know what ever they do to you, you will do to them even more. Good luck

There is some words missing like the F one from my answer

First, if you can prove the 15 year old deliberately cut down your trees you can have him arrested for trespassing and vandalism. You can sue his parents for the value of the shrubbery.

And I think you should do so immediately.

If you don't have proof then install cameras to try and catch them at further vandalism.

Once they see that you mean business and that they can get into serious trouble by harassing you, they may agree to leave you alone if you drop the charges.

You can also get a civil restraining order. Then if they violate that there are grounds for criminal charges. Bottom line is... do whatever you can within the law to keep your family safe! Start a paper trail with the police and prove harassment, post no trespassing signs, etc

I say sue their , for harassment, then like that guy said get a restraining order, then maybe some barbewire fences or something

It blocked out the word after their should be AS$
