The kids next door... not guilty? |
|
|
For anyone who has read my husband's journal (Angel of Light) we have these annoying neighbors that live in the basement apartment next door with even worse kids.
They ride their bikes on our back yard and build ramps. I have never spoken to the kids about it, but I would make my presence known, such as making up a reason to go outside where they can see me. When they see me, they get off.
Recently my house was egged, while I have not seen the kids throw them, it wasn't hard to assume it was them, I decided to call the landlord to express my concerns about the eggs, I stressed to him that while I cannot be 100% it was those kids that threw them, I explained my reasons why it 'could' have been them.
He said that he would look into it because he also had issues with their rent.
Fast forward to the present: today after work the boys where biking in the backyard again, I went outside and caught one on his bike next to the step, so I finally said something to him... I calmly and polity asked if he not ride on my property, the kid just said "ok" and got off, I then said thanks. If he will stay off remains to be seen.
The whole crowd was sitting outside of their apartment, to make sure that the boys stayed off, I made it look like I was taking some measurements of my patio (It's sinking outwards but it will be fixed soon).
One of the ladies asked what I was doing (to start conversation I guess). I told her my patio situation. She then explained to me that the boys did not throw eggs at my house, in fact their place got egged too (I find it weird that my house got egged from the behind while theirs got egged in the front)
She told me that she got a call from the landlord and wanted to assure me that her boys did not do anything, though she did not blame me because of all the things I see go on at their place.
We where both polite about it and ended the conversation on a friendly note, she says she got the rent straightened out too.
What will happen next I wonder? Will the boys stay off my property? Will things finally calm down? Time will tell I guess. But if they keep their music cranked up, then I should just play my piano extra loud.... see how they like it.
