Halloween

[wolf]

My obnoxious, too loud, next-door neighbors had their party on Saturday night.

They have many friends.

All of their friends drink.

They stumbled around the front and back of the apt, and played overly loud house/trance/rave-ish crap ALL FUCKING night. Oh, and they destroyed several pumpkins on the front steps, including a poorly carved jack-o-lantern. The fact that these pumpkins were owned by the host is immaterial. It's the principle of the thing ... if you're destroying your own pumpkins, you still have to clean up.

Unfortunately the only piece of equipment that I have in the house that would have been louder than their music is only permitted to be used when certain conditions are met. I checked the law, and there's nothing about overly loud neighbors.

So, after an unsuccessful attempt at direct negotiations, I called the cops.

It worked, sort of. The guests decided that they had to drunkenly go off and party somewhere else for the remainder of the night (it was 0100 hrs), and as a parting shot, hurled the final remaining pumpkin at my door. They were drunk enough that they missed by about eight inches.
