Ok guys, this is for real. Even when it might sound like a thread meant for some creative and much needed comedy.

Here's my story:
My neighbor has an substance abuse problem and I mean the hard stuff. Every other week he and his GF get into HUGE fights at 2:00AM mostly about desapeared money. I get to hear the whole thing because they do it in the middle of the street. I even know what they use and when they are not sharing (info that I dont want or care about). NOw the thing that I am most uncomfortable with is the fact that lateley what seems like most of the homeless people from the neghborhood keep paying 3-5 minute visits to this guy's house. (Gee I wonder what they are doing??)

It makes my neighborhood unsafe.

Call the cops and tell them whats going on. They'll stake it out and send one of their boys in to make a buy. At that point, all is good and you get first dibs if they had anything cool!

gonna have to take him to court. a guy i work with had the same problem. streams of people would go over his neighbors house all night long. took him a long time to have them evicted. and yea like abbid said maybe the cops can do a stakeout to speed things up.

dress up as a homeless person and hide a camera and go in for the 3-5 minutes and take some good shots of drug use and give it to the cops. I know unrealistic..just call the popo.

3 numbers......9-1-1

Yessir! Put your tax dollars to work. I have a similar problem, except the meth heads we have here wander up and down the street sometimes. We were told when we moved here not to answer the door at 2 AM, bc they'd ask for money. So far no solicitors, though.

That's what cops are for.

Grenades.

Cut some soap into little pea-sized kernels and sprinkle them around on the street in front of his house, on the sidewalk, etc.

Then watch the fun as people crawl around on their hands and knees picking them up. Take some pics and post them please. :)

Yup, its time to get the po-pos involved. You don't want to mess with people on drugs, they can react violently. When people are on drugs they just dont think the same. I have heard of fools killing each other over a pack of smokes. :eek: Let the police handle it that way they maybe able to get help getting clean.

Also do you know if the rent vs owning their property? If they rent you could probably report them to the management in charge of the property.

Kick him in the throat.

See if this works. When they are gone tape off a body shape in the front yard add some fake blood like someone was hurt, tape the house off with caution tape and sprinkle flour all over the front yard like they had a bunch of coke on them. Then just mount a video camera and wait until they come home.


I think it would be funny!

try the cops. If that doesn't work, there's always fire.

Love the idea. Do this one ^

torch the house

In addition to calling the cops, maybe increasing the amount of exterior lighting.

Or just call the cops. :D

Put on a disguise complete with thick latex gloves, walk up to your neighbor as they're leaving their house and say "Does this bong smell like Chloroform?" Once they've passed out, drag them into their house and lay them on the floor. Make sure all of their paraphernalia is laying around or at least some of it is visible. Leave the house and call the cops and tell them that you just saw someone running away from your neighbor's house and you're concerned.

When the cops arrive, they will find your groggy neighbor on the floor along with his dope. They will think he was held-up for his money or stash and you will just be a concerned neighbor. He will probably go to jail for a little while.

Or.... you could realize that the above is stupid and could just as easily get you killed. So if you're worried about it, call the police. If there's a crack house next door they will eventually get rid of it. Don't take this type of thing into your own hands. ;)

Just put a "condemned" sticker on the front door

March up and down the sidewalk in front of his house with a picket sign

"Don't patronize this dude, unfair business practices
he cuts down to 5%"

You have a number of options. You could start anonymously ordering delivery food for them. Calling for cabs is usually good. Cabbies are notoriously vicious when it comes to fares. Subscriptions to various adult magazines of the alternative lifestyle variety are good. My personal favorite used to be lighting road flares and throwing them in the yard on a driveby. One more thing. DON'T. GET. CAUGHT.

Damn... where do ya'll live... seems like this is more common than I thought..!!???

Call the cops.. and keep calling them until something happens... The soap pellets is genius, you have to try that, at least get some entertainment out of this tragedy..

Call your local street crimes unit. Look for your agency and ask for street crimes. It will amaze you how fast things get taken care of.

3 numbers......9-1-1
Absolutely NOT! :p
this is not an emergency. If you have time to post about what to do on the internet, you can be damned sure, it's not 911 worthy. Open the phone book and look up the number for the police. Don't tie up emergency response units with this stuff.

kill them and eat them

Apparently we have some sicks people here. 1 person said to throw grenades. 1 person said kick them in the throat. 2 people said to burn them. Another one posted some tape, a shovel, and a knife. 1 said thow flares. And then one said kill and eat them. If I ever have to do a murder case with any of the following I am coming to you first.:D

One man's sickos is another's pragmatics. :D

Don't eat them...you might ingest some of the crack. Feed them to the junkies when they come by

I see that.

We have a similar problem to this in our neighborhood. I don't think they're selling or anything, but they're potheads and they have a tendency to fire firearms late at night.

The only reason they ended up in our neighborhood is because they bought a pre-foreclosure house on the cheap right before the bank took posession.

They're freakin' trash. They are self employed as tile installers, and have loud parties every other weekend. We call the non-emergency number on them all the time.
We're hoping they accidentally shoot themselves or burn their own house down.

Their kids are awful. Foul-mouthed, disrespectful to adults and property.

Their poor dog runs away about every two weeks and comes to my house. Next time, I'm taking it to another neighbors and we're hiding it until we can smuggle it to the SPCA, as every time it gets out they beat the crap out of it. It's a really sweet dog too. I'd take it in and keep it, but I fear what kind of retaliation I get.

On the legal end, another neighbor is circulating a citizen's complaint and we're all going to sign it. Maybe that will get them busted.

Oh, one other thing-They have an amateur tattoo shop going in their garage.

The sad thing? we live in a nice neighborhood where most of the neighbors know each other and what's up in the 'hood. I think the dumbasses don't realize what they stepped in.

Ahahahahaha!!!! I'd pay money to see those pics! Great idea, doc.

^^^ Years ago I saw an ad in Parade Magazine from one of those custom check companies where one of their check styles was a ransom note. I thought it was hilarious and was going to get it for my checks, but I threw away the newpaper and have never seen that check style since. :(

I have a feeling someone decided that check style wasn't funny. Kind of like a travel appliance like a hairdrier that would look like a bomb under an x-ray... some people (i.e. the authorities) wouldn't laugh at it...
