What would you do?

[Ratdog]

If you cought the neighbors kids hitting baseballs at your car.
I asked um to stop and went back inside.
They did it again.
I asked um to get their parents.
I was yelled at and berated.then told how bad my moms yard looked with my boat and cargo trailer. And other coverd trailor with kiln in it.
They guy had a baseball bat so I called the cops.

What would you have done.

[bmac]

Call the cops and move all of my junk out of my mom's yard. Probably cut her grass too.

[keakar]

that's all you can do, call the cops and file a report so if your windows come up broken or find dents in the car you have documentation of what they were doing.

I would also install a nanny cam that can cover the car and the kids hitting balls at it in case it ever needs to go to court for you to collect damages for the repairs.

azzholes like them will not do anything and just laugh as their kids destroy your stuff but get the cops involved and that "usually" puts an end to it.

sadly when you have bad neighbors like that, putting up a fence is your only "real" solution so you don't have to worry all the time what they will do next.

Calling the police is certainly a reasonable and prudent response.

These situations have many nuances and the best possible response also depends on things a long term resident at the scene is aware of, but internet armchair quarterbacks are ignorant of.

With younger children and first occasions, I'd be more inclined to work with parents for a longer period before involving law enforcement.

The older the children and the longer I've already endured their criminal mischief (past events), the less time I'm likely to spend at the parental level.

If they appear capable of harming me, and presented body language, verbal abuse, and were closing distance so that a reasonable man would fear great bodily harm ...

I would take timely steps to prevent that.

MG pretty much nailed it. Settle it amung adults. If that doesnt work then involve the police. If all fails be prepared to defend yourself if a threat confronts your safety.

Only thing I own is the boat. Mom owns car trailor and kiln.
We're she Gunna put it?

[Ratdog]

Might add I spoke with kids last time they complied. But it seems the other neighbors said something about the windows on their house. Also a nother neighbor had a few ugly things to say to my mom about her car and how her house looked. I believe we're this guy got his poor attitude.
I am threw changeling my ways due to people who are not from here. My family has been in this house for 80 years they only 10. What planet do people come from that treat neighbors like this.

Might add we live 3 blocks from green lawn parc. Baseball diamonds and all were I hit balls.

I know it's sad but boy now I know we're da kids got their lack of respect for grownups and other peoples property.

We are still in US right. Can still park a car on the street?

Yep grass gets cut.
We just had two 80 year old magnolias cut down and stumps ground. Yard is recovering from sun bleach due to no shade. I'm working on compost tea to boost microbes and build turf.

Or am I expected to crap fresh growing grass for your visual pleasure good and bmac .

If so u got a long wait.

If you know the house and who lives here then you can expect a good bit of changes.
Namely house paint as trees coverd house and it needs it land scape as trees kept everything from growing .

Just not overnight fools.

I did get the gas lamp working after 20 years of neglect. I did that for mom and she cried when she saw. Memories from child hood.

Good don't be a moron.

Based on the information you gave, his response was the best so far. We have no idea where you live, or what the conditions are other than what you tell us.

Should they hit balls at anyone's property? No

Should they tell someone to clean up the mess? Maybe, depends on the mess. Pics would help

Gona have to butt heads with you on this one Gooh. If it aint his neighbors property its none of their business what the yard looks like. Short of an agreement with a HOA they just need to suck it up and deal with it. If not they can move.

I don't have an HOA, and when it comes to my neighbors laziness having an impact on the resale value (money in my pocket), then you better believe you will hear my mouth about it. It is my business when your laziness drives down the price of my home by $15k.

Not saying that's the case here, but based on what we know it very well could be.

There's the flip side of the coin

I understand and im not trying to start anything between us. I have a neighbor that I wish would do alot better with his property. Even with that it is his property and not mine. Its his to do what he wants. Not my place to tell him what to do with his land unless I want to be on the wrong end of a gun. Same thing would happen to him If he came to my house and told me to mow my grass.
