Alright fellas, so here's my dilemma. I've got some really terrible neighbors. I'm certain they're up to no good, but am at a loss at to which avenue to go down to handle the situation because I live on a really quiet street. Here are the facts;
1. They frequently LOCK their three kids outside, ages seven, six, and two. When this occurs, they typically leave the seven year-old in charge of the toddler. I wouldn't usually complain, but they're outside for hours on end and on more than two occasions, I've heard them crying to be let in the house. I live in a rural area, and boy do we have rattlers out here. I'm concerned that with summer approaching and without adequate supervision, something COULD happen to any one of them.
2. They have random and frequent visitors, mostly whom stay for less than 10 minutes and are gone. Sure, everyone has friends pop in but who has "friends" show up during the school week, at 930 at night, stay less than 10 minutes, and then repeat the process a few days later? It's really suspicious. I haven't smelled any strange smells (i.e; chemicals) so I don't know if they're cooking dope, but the frequency and randomness of their visits would sure lead to believe that they are dealing, something.
3. They've illegally cut down oak trees to sell as firewood from a county nature preserve that surrounds my area. Another concerned neighbor has called the county about the issue, and they referred onto DFG, and in-turn DFG has deferred onto the county.
4. They had a surveillance camera mounted on their roof, pointed down the street, (I assume) to get advanced warning of who was coming up the road.
5. They drive-like bats outta hell. My road is one-lane, blind cornered, and steep in places. Not a road to be speeding on. Aside from their own kids playing in the road, my other neighbors walk their dogs and their kids down the same road. Someone is bound to get hurt.
I'm just at a loss for what to do. There are only three houses on the end of my road;mine, the scumbags and my other cool neighbors (whom are already involved in some litigation with them) so if I report them to someone, they'll surely figure out who it was. And while they may not do any damage to my property themselves, I'm sure the scum they associate with will.
Ideas? Suggestions? I'm not sure if they're breaking any particular laws, but something's going on and the kids are definitely the ones who are at the most risk.
Thanks for the help fellas.
