Not MM-related: neighbor kids
Hey,
So I thought I would post this and see if anybody has ideas about how to handle this situation. Our house is on a corner lot. Our neighbors to the back of us have a couple of teenage boys who - unsurprisingly - act like teenage boys. They have dirt bikes, they play with firecrackers, etc. They're usually well-behaved during the week, but they start to act up many weekends when the weather is nice out. As I understand it from other neighbors, their dad has custody of them and he uses the weekends as an opportunity to escape to go fishing, figuring his kids are fine at their age at home.
We have noticed certain things turning up on our property: some firecracker butts near our mailbox (about 10 feet from where H parks his car that's only a year old)... a hole through one of our windows that looks like it was created with a BB-gun.... a long stripe of dirt (that previously had grass on it) through part of our backyard that's unfenced, where it seems like they were burning rubber with their dirt bikes.
We haven't caught them doing any of it, but it's almost certainly them. We see them playing with all of these toys OFF our property most weekends we are home. We aren't the only ones either: one of our other neighbors has called the cops on them twice since we've moved in.
What would MM do? Would you say something to their dad? We could always pull the lawyer card on them if we have to, but we don't really like doing that unless things are really getting out of hand.
Thoughts?
Re: Not MM-related: neighbor kids
I would talk to the dad first, and see if things improve. If no one ever told him of what is happening on the weekends when he is gone, he might not be aware of any issues that he needs to talk to the boys about.
Good luck.
I would had a conversation with their Dad First and foremost. If he does not handle the situation then I would take things a step further.
Another vote for talking to the dad. And certainly in a cordial, friendly, neighborly tone. Not that I would picture you having this conversation any differently
.
Is it possible to put a cheap video camera that would record the area near where your husband keeps his car? That is the area I would be the most concerned about potential damage, because of the newer car.
