![]() Are you home offen when the cops come or do they happen show up when you are away? Maybe you could metion to the cops that this is a bit childish and the same person has harrassed several people in the neighborhood and bullied them into moving. Im not sure how your cops react. But I know ours would begin to get upset when the calls began to come in everyday. Next time the cop comes, invite him in sit down and actully talk it through with him. Tell him the actual events that have taken place and what courses of actions have taken place. Im sure he can come up with a reasonable soultion. (weve had the same problem). Usually they do go talk to the complaintent after they leave your home. And thus, you would know who the a$$ in your neighborhood is and then you can confront him or her.

![]() I know exactly where you are comming from.I live with my bf in a snobby richy area where the people dont think we belong because we dont drive $40,000+ mercedes and bmw's. In our driveway: 1989 mustang, 1986 Z-28 camaro, 2000 Eclipse GT and 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage. In our garage: 1985 Thunderbird TC and 1986 Toyota MR2. We get screamed at for speeding....limit is 25mph we are doing less than that. Because it is a little hard to do when people let their kids play in the middle of the damn street! We get the cops called on us for working on our cars too. We were even accused by a cop for "operating an illeagle bussiness" because we had 2 camaros, a mustang a thunderbird and an eclipse in the driveway. A friend of mine was working on his 3rd gen camaro at 2 in the afternoon. He was trying to fix the timing so revving it was essential. Not more then 10 min passed and a cop pulled in the driveway. I would tell those people if they want you to stop it, then they need to buy your house so you can then move. Thank god one family that calls the cops on us alot is moving. GOOD RIDANCE!! Because of all of the BS in the neighborhood, we are moving soon.

![]() Thats just the price you going to pay for living in a restrited area, county, state, whatever.
When the police come over invite them in and DON'T talk smack about the neighbors. The police already know those kinds of neighbors, ( There everywhere.) and they DON'T what to hear more of it. Do not make excuses for your actions, or your neighbors. Don't become a complainer like them. Friends of the police is good. People in general criticize what they don't know. It may be hard but try to find a common ground. Make friends when ever possible. Circulate a flyer for a neighborhood party. At the party try to show them you meen no harm. Then explain the ( Tell me if you have a problem measage.) By just passing the flyer of explaination, you run the high risk of putting everyone on the defensive. Then you run the risk of it getting worse or creating enemies. I have delt with alot of neighborhoods for various reasons. Ive set up neighborhood watches based on peoples suspicions of neighbors, they've never met. After everyone met, they shut down the neighborhood watch. Go figure. Every neighborhood is different and so are its people. Don't feel like they all are after you. Usually its only one set with another set egging them on. In my hood of 50 homes there is one older couple that causes all the problems. Im sure more people are on your side, than arn't. (Reason for party.) What ever you decide to do, think it out carefully. Seek out others that have had the same problems. Impliment a plan of action that is universal in goal. Maybe after you all are friends, you can lay down a two hundred foot black mark with them holding their thumbs up !

That sucks about your neighbors. Luckily, ours are pretty cool. I have been working on my car till 1 or 2 in the morning, running my air compressor and impact till then, and havent heard a peep out of any of em. I say just find out who is calling them, and have a talk with them. Dont have a Sapprano style talk, but, a civilized conversation and explain yourself. Let them know you mean no harm and are just a crafty person. If that fail, kill em and hide the bodies. ![]()

![]() Moving is the first thing that comes to mind or you could put up a privacy fence and do every thing in the backyard.

![]() I quess we all have neighbors like this, I'm still trying to figure out who it is yet on my block. The one I thought it was has moved and the problem continues. I live in a older nieghborhood, but my house was one of the last built on that side of the street, and that was 1955. In the seventies the homes across the street were built, bigger and far more expensive. As far as I'm concerened they only serve to drive up the taxes.
Anyway, I also; each time I open the garage, someone complains. Or they will complain that I don't mow the yard often enough, or even once an animal abuse complaint. I showed the officer our dog, who happens to be 16 and is losing teeth and has lived in a dog house or the garage all its life. But she still will act like a young dog still, but sometimes, she needs a bath. Thats when the call came of course. HE (the officer) suggested I bring it in the house. Not a chance, there will be no animals in my house. So, I cleaned her up and took her for a walk, visiting everyone I could reach, while showing off my livley 16 year old (and so terribaly abused) dog. Right now, the parts car has been shoved into the driveway, (anyone want the shell of a '80 'stang, its straight) and I'm getting complaints, but this time I have spoke to the code enforcement guy, and we agreed since I said the city could have it outright, that it can sit there until he comes to get it or someone else wants it.

![]() Bad neighbor relations can be a disaster! I must tell you that your actions at your home can really depend on the type of neighborhood that you live in. While I would appreciate your hard work and efforts and enjoy cars, if you were doing this type of activity in my neighborhood, it would not fly.
I do live in an upscale neigborhood for the aera, but people are really down to earth. However, I believe in protecting my investment. I have a neighbor across the street who owns 8 cars with a truck and trailer constantly parked on the street as the son owns a land scaping business. There is also a boat on the side of the hose. It looks very trashy and out of place for the neighborhood and also against local laws. I am also good friends with the owner. Heck, the kid cuts my grass. As an April Fools joke, we put window stickers on all the cars and set up flags. We made it look like a car lot. It was very funy and we all had a blast with it. We even went on a few test rides with the owner with him acting like a salesmen. Needless to say, he sort of got the point too and has since found a home for some of his stuff. No one has ever called the police.

![]() That's really too bad. I agree, your neighbor/or neighbors should come and talk to you. But this day and age, most people are afraid of what type of confrontation make take place when they come over with a complaint. So the easiest thing to do is call the authorities.
I've had a friend that was stabbed one time when he confronted his neighbor, in a friendly way, to keep it down one night when they had a party. I, personally, once had a neighbor that had dogs that barked all night (Every night) where I had to sleep with the windows closed and with a fan. I felt I was a prisoner in my own house at night. So I went over to see if he could do something about it, because a lot of dog owners don't hear their own dogs or maybe they work nights etc. The first thing that came out of his mouth, was "Get the hell of my property." He was ticked right off the bat that I even came over to his house. Your probably a friendly person, so I think your letter is good (make it non threating) just to let your neighbors know that you are an approachable kind of person, and if they have issues, to come and dicuss them with you. I always try and wave to my neighbors when I'm out front working or what not, so they know that I'm someone they could probably approach with an issue if one ever came up. Good luck! Brad

![]() U know, tough SH*#. I do not care what they want. It is ur property and u pay taxes just like them. Let the people bitching keep doing it. I know if I kept getting called to something like this, me and the person calling all the time would have a nice little chat.
Ask the officer for a copy of the local ordinances...and use it against the S.O.B's. If the ordinance says you can not park there for more then 3 days, park it there 2 days and 23 hours. it is called "private" property for a reason. Hell, put a confederate flag up nice and high....with a really bright spot light on it.... if they want to keep this up. Ryan
