michael Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Firstly let me begin by saying I hate my neighbours, I find them vulgar and rate them as pikey scum of the highest order. I have put up a 7ft screen to shield me from their late night BBQ karaoke events and try to ignore them at all times. They moved in around January time, since then we have had a frequent array of visitors arriving to bang on their door and argue with them as well as other generally antisocial stuff from them or their two kids. Anyway.... I keep finding BB ammo in my garden, bright green plastic balls as used by those silly little BB guns and suspect someone from next door is trying to shoot my cats, the location of the ammo in front and rear gardens points to them as do my gut feelings. My own immediate reaction would be to take their door off the hinges and pepper them with shot but I'm told that isn't the way forward, common sense says to speak with the parents but past experience shows them to be complete arses who have no idea of discipline (a recent doorstep row with some gobby woman implied they may be foster parents too). I'm not sure how to deal with this, I'm not even sure it's the kids who are doing it, I wouldn't put it past the pot smoking parents The think is they had a cat of their own, that's disappeared, they also have a rabbit but the poor thing is constantly locked in a cage with no food or water (I sneak round when they are out and feed it) - I've heard them shouting at my cats if they dare to sit on the fence between the houses too.... I want to kill them but before I do can anyone suggest any other approaches I might be able to take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 if i ever saw anyone, and i mean anyone hurting a animal, i would beat the living shit out of them. Same here! Id probably get a bb gun myself and give them a taste of their own medicine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 1/ Nuke 'em. 2/ Or you could film them, then get the law round, but get a lot of evidence first. If you struggle getting the law interested, just go past a police car at over 100 and they'll follow you home, lights and everything.[GRIN][/GRIN] 2's probably the best option.

LeeT Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 you could always come over next time i put the bbq on. i'll tell the kids to stop shooting the cats:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Michael, i would say collect evidence first, is it possible to rig up a camera ? It probably is them but you can't take action until you know for sure. if the little punks are shooting your cat, post the address of your neighbours on a militant animal rights website.

merckx Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It's not easy knowing what to do without making the situation worse. Class One might have experience of this sort of thing. If they hurt your cats I'll help you do whatever you want to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 If they are foster parents cant the social services do anything as clearly the parents arn't doing their job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyclaws Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 if the little punks are shooting your cat, post the address of your neighbours on a militant animal rights website. That is real Nasty, but the best idea i have seen in a long. catch them on video is the best bet, inform council ,RSPCA etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Neighbours, who'd have em. I have no idea what to suggest, they don't sound like the kind of people that would accept reason and it may kick off big style. Tricky one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Get your own BB gun and fill it with ball bearings. Then shoot the kids - and the parents - while shouting wildy "See how you like it muthaf***ers!" Oh, just noticed you said sensible - sorry, I'll get me coat.

Muffleman Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Move house. Seems drastic, but have to agree. This isn't the first time they've pee'd you off and it sure won't be the last. Plus if you confront them and 'have it out', this will inflame the situation too. Unfortunately, you can't do what you would like to do - land mines, camera operated chain guns etc I too struggle with animal abuse\cruelty, absolutely hate it.

Jezz Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Adapt a super soaker water pistol so it has a pilot light just after the nozle. Fill it with a mixture of parafin, petrol, and really sticky goo. Then Napalm the fu*kers in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Move house. SENSIBLE Sorry but why should Michael move house because of his pikey neighbours, if his neighbours are foster parents then they should be reported to social services. Make a note of everything they do and if possible get another neighbour who has been troubled by them to do the same. Are they in a local housing association house, if they are write to the housing association. Contact your local council nd see what they can do. NOT SENSIBLE Failing that, order lots of stuff in their name COD, 2 tons of cement, rolls of turf, 24 pallets of house bricks. Ring the Jehovahs Witnesses and Mormons to come round and visit them. Leave an anon. phonecall with the police saying that you believe the children are being abused sexually. Generally make their life hell with no comeback to you if the sensible doesn't work.
