    How do you deal with a dhead neighbour?

    So we have a bloke who lives across the road and often gets really, really tanked and starts yelling abuse at his wife and smashing things up (probably her as well although I have no proof).

    He throws things around, mainly at his own house and sometimes gets in his car and does burnouts out the front. He has even smashed his car up out the front too. That was pretty funny.

    Anyway today he was out there yelling and carrying on at her calling her all sorts of names etc etc. When I say yelling I mean top of his lungs, gonna blow a hose type yelling. He is pretty loud. Kids live on one side of him and there are other families close by that are definately within earshot of this dude.

    I was out in the front yard and I went down to the drive to have a look and make sure he wasn't about to lay into his poor wife. He catches sight of me and starts having a go saying I'm having a stickybeak and dont I have anything better to do and that I'm a "F" wit. I said look who's talking and told him what I thought he should do and went inside.

    Now the question. What can be done about this kind of situation? He does this kind of thing regularly. No one else seems to say anything to him about it. We have called the cops before when he was going spastic in his car very late at night. Cops didn't even turn up. Really it's up to the poor wife to do something about it but why should we have to live here and listen to this clown at all hours of the day?

    What can we do?
    Cheers

    Tranc dart........ about the only way you will shut him up I would think.

    If you can Video tape him going off and then leave it anonomously in his letter box so he can see what sort of dick he is being might help if he has a shred of self respect but more than likely you will have to wait until you can get Video of him bashing his wife in the middle of the street before the cops will do anything.

    Good luck

    I have to say as long as he can't easily work out the angle of the camera that's a really good idea. Just make sure he has a VCR, lol.

    Also, if you say you think someone is in danger i.e. the wife then the cops have to come.

    Alternatively get involved with a bike gang.

    On the serious side of this though, I know what your saying and it's pretty difficult to put u with especially if that sort of thing happens a lot.

    Personally I'd provoke politely till he came over, make a mess of him and politely explain the repucussions of any repeat's and that'll be it............No half assed effort though

    My next door neighbour hasn't spoken to me since the week I moved in, he came up to complain about a dog barking in the day ................but after he'd had a spliff and a heap of port for courage, (40+ respectable place) at 2230 via torchlight when we'd just hopped into bed

    Needless to say, he doesn't bother me anymore

    Although he left a note a few times about the same thing in the letter box (dogs sleep inside at night and are 400m away from his house in a yard in the day) I dropped one back politely stateing how is cute kitty craps on my path regularaly, aslo how nice a hat it would make

    All problems solved

    Smile oops

    Call the police from phone box and mention shots fired
    Also mention boozed up and off his head suspect wife and kids are in danger.
    failing this fill out avo and he is not allowed near u or his house extreme but some blokes need extreme scare, especially if SOG turn up to say hi to him.

    Toss some old shoes over the power lines in front of his place. After the twentieth druggie knocks on the door wanting some gear he'll be ready to move out.

    What I'd do in your situation : ( got advice from an "expert" in these matters too who happens to live in the same house as me )

    You can't do anything about him swearing and carrying on like a pork chop. Violence/abuse of his kids ( if he has them ) or wife, you can do something about.

    Go see the other neighbours, discreetly raise the subject of "Mr D*ckhead" and see if they have the same concerns. This will hopefully get you some allies.

    Then ask everyone to keep an eye on him. Ask them they see anything of concern, to give you a call.

    As soon as you have some real evidence of physical or other abuse of his wife or kids, report him. you can try the Cops, but they won't respond to domestic violence situations unless there's someone about to die. ( basically)

    So make a complaint to Dept. of Human Services. (DHS). They should respond, especially if abuse of kids is involved.

    From the sounds of it, it's a sure bet he's beating his wife, if not his kids, so sooner or later he'll slip up and you'll have something concrete to give DHS.

    If you see his wife in the street, when he's not around, try to start a conversation. She might be looking for a way to get away from him too, but has no support or is too scared to do anything about it. If you and Jen can get her to trust you, she might open up to you.

    Patience is a virtue

    I didn't know that was what they were for. I'm totally lacking in experience in these matters (like, does my neighbour smoke pot? I don't know what it smells like but I get this strange sickly-sweet smell coming over the fence - it's from some sort of smoked substance).

    Unfortunately, there is little you can do, people like this tend not to respond to the normal keys. If they are violent types the violence is all they understand, but once again is you go down this track and come out on top all it will do is leave them plotting revenge, with the addition of the Law jumping on your back as well.
    But if you have the kills and stature to go toe to toe with out blows, then do it. But then people who can do that and get away with it are few and far between.

    I moved my family to Adelaide a couple of months ago after coming of task (now that I have a young fella) after a decade of living in the nicer parts of the world, a drunk neighbour is a small price to pay for the lack of , AKs rattling off every night, car bombs, or the teachers at the local school being executed in front of there students.

    Hi Ron
    You cant have described the smell of burning pot any better,you have a stoner next door.Ive got them both sides.
    Generaly pot smokers are harmless,its the amphetamine abusers that are trouble.
