Neko, I hope that you can get it straightened up quickly!

Yay, Serate! We had a similar situation when we lived in the apartment. Neighbor upstairs was just terrible about looking for someone to mess with. He'd started mess with another neighbor who eventually threatened to beat him up, lol, and left him alone. Then, I guess, was our turn. He'd call the landlord over anything and everything.

Late one night, we were sitting in the living room, front door cracked open and saw the landlord leaving the complex. Next day when I saw him I asked what the heck he'd been doing there so late (it'd been about 1 or 2 am.) Said neighbor had called to complain that we were having a wild party, lots of sex, loud music, alcohol, and drugs. He said he stood on our porch and peeked in (we never saw him doing that, lol) and we, along with the couple from across the way were sitting on the floor playing Life, drinking sodas, music so low he couldn't hear what it was right there at the door, and only sleeping together was Caleb and the other couples little girl curled up together in the portable playpen, lol. Apparently he'd called the cops first and didn't get the reaction he'd expected.

He called the landlord several times after that over things like we left laundry in the dryer all day. They had one washer/dryer in the complex, we never used it cuz it took too long to get to it when no one else was using it. Landlord would come over, then tell him to knock it off. Few weeks after the "wild party" we had the cops knocking on our door. He'd accused us of stealing his bicycle. We invited them in and showed them around and they were ready to leave when we offered to show them the garage. Our garages were doubles, but there was a four foot wall seperating the two sides. Went out and showed the cops, nothing but our car in ours, and they peaked over and saw the bike hanging from the rafters on their side. Cops talked to him for a long time, then came and gave us his business card, said if you have anymore problems with that neighbor, call me and I'll come right over, he's harrassing you.

No worries about that, we were already so fed up with him that we were in the process of buying our house. We would have eventually bought a house, but hadn't been planning for that soon, we were just so sick and tired of the bs. When we moved, we told the landlord that neighbor was only reason we were going. Not too long after that, our friends, the couple we'd been playing the board game, left and told the landlord the same thing. Several others complained as well, but nothing was done, until the little old man who had lived next door to us....the one who had lived in his apartment for 27 years, left. Then, I later heard, soon as the landlord had a reason, he evicted the troublemaker, but by then he'd lost half his tennants.

Made us so weary of neighbors that it took us probably a good year to meet and get friendly with our neighbors here.

Yes, Neko, hope you got somewhere today.

Serate I'm glad it came to this. It did seem like it was time the authorities were involved and it looks like the policeman saw the neighbours in psycho mode and understood the situation for what it was. At least now it is all documented and you can take action if it becomes necessary.

We have one noisy neighbour, but reading yours and Wargod's stories I'm beginning to count myself lucky.

Yay Serate! Loved that the cop was basically laughing at the neighbors (and eeeww... the guy picked up the poo with his bare hands? do they need any other proof of mental instability there?).

LOL Serate. You're not... dunno why.

BTW, can you get a restraining order WITHOUT having to go thru a temporary RO process? Here in California you have to request a TRO, then the judge grants a temp injunction and a hearing (2 weeks out) and then you get your day in court (and they may show up) and a permanent injunction is granted. It's a royal PITA here, but the system can work.

Heck if I know Costa. Maybe things are different in Iowa? Maybe it's a different type of restraining order? All I know is one has been filed for. Hubby - being property owner - signed some paperwork. Cop did the rest. Cop told us he told the neighbors that it was official by his word even before they got the written order and if they got another harassment call it would be arrest first, ask questions later. So maybe we will have to go to court later. I'll ask hubby when he gets home. Or maybe the cop was talking out his patootie just to scare the neighbors.

I'm just hoping we're done with all this.

P.S. I'm still thinking some nice ugly lawn ornaments would spiff up our front yard quite nicely.

What's so funny about the "if the cops get another harassment call" is that the neighbors are the ones who called the cops in the first place! If that ain't karma then I don't know what is.

Actually I don't believe in karma but it sounded good.

Gnomes are cute tho Mamie. *L*

Actually, we'll just keep doing what we have been doing and do nothing on purpose to antagonize them that we wouldn't have done in the first place. [Meaning we aren't going to put chemicals on our yard and we aren't going to mow it every 3.4 days,, and we aren't going to water it every other day. If that pisses them off so be it.]
