[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 451889, member: 6705"] That's when you have neighbors that actually care. We have: T, next door. 3 kids - 22, 18 and 12; she watches out when she can, but she has health issues AND works. One door down from her, is D, who has grandkids over every month or so. He's a friendly drunk, but really nice. Mr. P, end of the block, older, almost never outside, but waves when he is. 2 college kids & their GFs, nice but never home. B&A, across the street, with their difficult children - 9 and 7 - the neighborhood terrorists - and A screams at the neighborhood kids when adults aren't visible (but you can hear her on a summer day when you're inside with A/C on, doors closes, and the katydids humming). She won't yell at adults, won't even face us. Next is J, and his decent son, about 17, and 2 young-adult daughters known together as the town s***s. He called the cops on husband when husband parked the trailer [I]in our yard on the gravel[/I] - because he was having trouble backing out of his driveway (though his driveway isn't across from our yard...?). Cops came out, looked, told him to deal. Funny, his daughters' friends had no problem parking IN THE YARD - NOT on the gravel - till husband talked to the son and said, look, I'm not calling the cops unless I have to, but... So we have one neighbor who's ever outside. And she's the one with health issues. I'll watch from the kitchen window sometimes, but when they're in our back yard it's not really a problem. [/QUOTE]
