I have various reasons to not trust the people living opposite.
When I first moved in one of them smashed up my neighbours car and looted it. We had no evidence but knew it was him as he was always skulking at the back of our houses (where our private housing car parks are). The only thing that happened with that was the police eventually caught them loitering out there doing drugs and boozing it up and threatened their tenancy if they didn't stop. Fair enough that stopped.
Also the fact that there are 3 previous jailbirds living amongst the houses, im not sure which ones but its factual information I received from a staff member working for the company I bought the house off (this was after the purchase of course).
In general they do annoy me, im not sure if its the fact that they are all scrounging benefits while im struggling to fund their lifestyle or the fact that they like to sit outside their houses having barbecues and god knows what else while again I have to go off to work.
Then theres the fact that someone in the area keeps turning our external taps on and leaving it (ive actually had to screw the faucet bit off (and turn off the water supply to it ofc)).
I dunno its a pretty ****** area in a pretty rough part of town. Its my fault for thinking 'I cant brand all council tenants with the same brush, im sure it will be fine'. Sure there are some lovely people living in the council housing but majority of them are scum.
My neighbour has also had issues but as we were talking about it yesterday he said hed rather just try and ignore it than get involved as you then become a target. Its pretty much the same situation here.
The other day I had one of their kids throwing stones at my windows. I had to ignore it because frankly its not worth getting the hassle. Plenty of the houses have been burgled around here and I don't want to chance the burglar being them and having them target me for 'dissin' their kids like innit'.
I do however have to agree with the observation that I am bit of a Victor Meldrew. Im not a huge curtain twitcher (these are events that have taken place over a year) but I do get annoyed by other people... Especially if they are young
