*Most worryingly they often run across the road without looking
Are British people now saying sidewalk?
Good god I hope not.
You're just a yank right? That's all it is? I heard "closet" on TV yesterday.
I used to live in a nice road where all the neighbours were friendly & there was no trouble.
Last year a family bought a house 8 doors above me, they appeared to have 3 teenagers & 2x 7yr olds.
Within a spate of 3 months, 3 cars were stolen within 100 yards of this house & also body-kit theft from my car.
Recently the teenagers appear to have disappeared, apart from a female teenager who walks up/down the road about 50times/day for an unknown reason.
The road is now having problems with the 2x 7yr olds:
*Hitting a car parked on road with stick so neighbour told them stop, then that night the rear window of the car was smashed with a house-brick.
*Swearing at passers by.
*Throwing stones at cars driving down the road.
*Throwing stones at house windows when occupants are away.
*Playing in someone’s rear driveway & when owner wishes to drive car out of driveway & tells the children to move out the way they hurl abuse at the driver.
*Placed glass bottle in middle of road then watched from sidewalk as cars smashed the bottle.
*Most worryingly they often run across the road without looking & the road is often busy with cars doing >30mph & large buses have to mount the kerb for 100yards etc.
These little brats often have new bikes etc. so their parents must care on some level?
I presume their home life must be very violent & maybe their parents are drug users etc. as the children often look very angry.
Coincidentally, theres a nearby road which looks like it contains a lot of rough people & I'm forced to drive as fast as legally possible to make it harder for the local population to hit my car with a stone.
Unfortunately hitting a child at 30mph will probably kill them rather than the 20mph id prefer to drive at.
Is there anything that can be done to stop this terrorising behaviour from this neighbour without fear of reprisal?
thanks
What are the normal words for sidewalk and closet?I half the time spell / speak using USA lingo. Mostly because I do web design which targets a lot of international / US customers, one of my best friends is from the USA... who cares if you say sidewalk or closet![]()

How tight are you with the neighbours right now? I pretty much know everyone in my 'hood, we get together for bonfires and such on a regular basis. If any malcontents moved in, we'd have them shuffling off just through sheer annoying behaviour. (We've done it twice in 10 years.)![]()
