How about spraying the fence line with fish emulsion every time they start a party.  Nothing like the smell of rotten fish to clear an area.

i have to go with the consensus on this.  if you aren't willing to bring the police or some other form of law enforcement in on this then you really have no recourse.  you could try to "out gun" them with your own loud music when they have a party but my money says they will call the cops on you for it if they aren't that friendly to begin with.

Because I don't want the Cops to be the neighbor nannies?


That's what they are there for. If they won't listen to reason and be polite, good neighbors, then you have three options:

1) Do something equally annoying, but legal to them (running the risk of them calling the cops on you.

2) Do nothing and take it.

3) Participate in covert, illegal ops to make their lives hell (again, running the risk on cops being called on YOU).

There may be two other options. If your HOA has any rules against the noise you can get them involved. If you have the money, you can try a civil suit.

Good luck. Personally, Id just call the cops every night until they got the hint.

PS - who the fuck allows thier kids to throw a party EVERY night?

Apologize if someone has already suggested this.

If you don't want to call the police (which is what I would do), you can always document the behavior over a certain length of time, then hire a lawyer to file suit against them in the form of an injunction to force them to stop.  Get the neighbors involved too.

It would probably be expensive, and they will be aware of who filed the suit.

Good luck.

So you are seeing underage drinking and illegal drug use, and hearing rampant noise violations, and you don't want to take the ONLY recourse that will get you anywhere?  I'll echo what the rest of the posters said..."Have a great summer."

Any suggestions?Move.  Preferably in the middle of nowhere where it's nice and peaceful.

Get the plate numbers off of the cars. Video tape the party. Find out where the kids live and send copies of the video to the parents. Of course, this only works if the kids are doing anything illegal. Plus, if they are drinking or smoking pot, you have evidence you can show the cops when one of the fools kills himself or someone else (and they will sooner or later) when they get behind the wheel. I know you don't want to call the cops but I would be damned if I would let a bunch of drunk kids drive near my house and family when I knew about it. Anybody they kill or main will be on your conscious also.

If this is going on late at night, just go over to the fence and tell them if they keep that shit up, you WILL call the cops over noise complaints.  That way, they may be scared enough to stop it, and you won't have to follow through.  If that doesn't work, you gave them fair warning.

OK, if there is illegal activity going on and you dont want to call the cops then you will need to video tape the illegal activity, as much of it as possible, the best would be to catch the adults in the mix also, maybe not doing something illegal BUT viewing it or hanging around while it is happening. Then you go over to the house with the video, show it to them and again ask that they stop the activity and noise by 10pm. If they will not do this then simply tell them you will call the police and show them the video...

So when they have a party till 2 or 3 am in the morning on the weekend.... then get up the next morning at dawn (6am or 6:30am) and cut your grass in the back yard and do other construction type activities..... hammering is always a good one..... Oh and play your country music while you do it...... and further more.... if you have a pistol, wear it openly while working. That'll get'em.....

I've done that. I've fired up the generators just to be a dick more than once at 7am, when noise time is legal just to be a dick. My neighbor next door came out and gave me the thumbs up!

call cops

have talk w / parents

boom box w/ the song "feliz navidad" on loop pointed at their house with a strobe light from spencers.

they started it by having no regard for their neighbors

if you can find them, maybe you can hire the under 18 A-team to kick their ass.

this ones a little risky, but party flyers handed out to a rougher bunch, when enough undesireables show up to the party the parents will quit, also "can we dance with your dates" will put some fear in the burbhoods.
