God I hate teenagers!
Hubby and I built the house we live in and it's in a "good" area. There are lots of expensive houses around so it's not like it's in the 'hood or anything. We've been in the house for a year and a half and have nothing but problems with the frickin' kids in this area.
Five months after moving in, the front of our house was egged. A few months later, a paintball was shot at the back of the house (we back onto a busy street). This summer, 3 of our solar accent lights were stolen from our front yard.
We have one next door neighbour because we are on a corner and the people who originally built their house were an older couple so they were quiet and kept to themselves. They sold their house recently and the new neighbours moved in at the beginning of October. They have teenage boys and one girl I think. The kids had a party on Thanksgiving long weekend and a bunch of their punk ass friends were over there and they were drinking (nothing like a little underage drinking to make an impression in the new neighbourhood). Anyway, these kids kept cutting across our yard to get to the street, so Hubby would go out and yell at them. A few of them broke a couple of our retaining wall stones so we were pissed about that. Then we find beer cans in the gutters of our house that the kids threw on our roof. We were really pissed about that. The neighbours on the other side of these new people had a run-in with them that night as well. These punk ass kids made a racial slur at their other neighbours because they are black. They are the nicest people and we've known them ever since they moved into the house that they built. Everyone was pissed about that slur because the parents (new neighbours) totally blew it off saying, "oh, they're just kids". Take some friggin' responsibilty! That's some really good parenting there.
Now this past Friday, the parents weren't home and the kids had some friends over. When the friends were leaving, they cut across our front yard again and our dogs were going nuts barking at them. When I went to see what they were barking at, I saw the little shits cutting across our yard. The next morning one of our solar lights was missing it's head. All that was left was the shaft in the ground and pieces of the head were strewn along the road. Nice.
Today, Hubby's in the back yard and discovers that the back of our house has been egged. It looked kind of fresh so it probably happened last night when we weren't home.
I am so sick of this shit! This town needs a curfew or something.
Or we need to move to an acreage with no neighbours....ahhhh bliss.
I hate people...

Grrr! That makes me mad!
You guys have a beautiful house and don't deserve to have things broken and vandalized like that.
Oh to be big enough to beat people up ;)
I hope I'm not too late for you to read this! They make sprinklers that are hooked up to motion sensors--it's supposed to keep dogs from doing their business on your lawn, but I'll bet they'd be equally effective for the teenagers...
