To make a long story short, one of my neighbors (I of course am their only neighbor, empty lot on the other side of them) has children that are the devil in it's purest form. I live in a nice family development but these rednecks work landscaping and dual-incomes so they can afford a nice place.
The husband is a wife-beater, they won't stop having kids, they have a neglected dog and just got another one, and the kids now are between 2 and 14 it looks like (4 kids I believe). One of the kids has been kicked out of elementary school already and tried to kill himself.
Here's what they've done to me and my house :
-turned my water pumps on and left them running (just found out about this today)...it flooded my basement and cracked the concrete
-keyed my car...$500 to fix it
-stole my mortgage bill from my mailbox the first week I moved in. one of my other neighbors returned it to me
-stole my shovel, hockey stick, and golf driver
-throw rocks at my dog
-run across my yard all day
-knock on my windows and then run away
-swear at me and friends that come over
Other neighbors have called the cops on the kids, I've yelled at them, I've briefly talked with the parents a while ago...nothing changes and they don't care about what anybody says. Their kids just roam around the block all day doing whatever they want and the parents have NO clue what they're doing, and don't care.
What's the best thing that can be done about this? Calling the cops has already proven to do nothing, talking to them will do nothing (except maybe provoke him to beating his kids), and suing them will probably lead his hillbilly ass to pumping me with a shotgun.
They need to either go to jail or just gtfo of the block. In the mean time I'm going to be putting my house up for sale and trying to get out myself.
