Neighbours kid threw a bag of poo in wheelie bin

Yesterday my neighbours kids were hovering on my drive and the Ring picked it up, I saw one of the kids throw a bag in my green bin.

Upon checking it was obvious it was a bag of poo, it appeared like soiled underwear.

Afterwards he went into my bag of compost and threw it at my window, by that time I told him to get of my property and he ran off.

I have a lot of issues with these kids from trespassing, balls kicked against cars, they are truly awful, and a lot of neighbours have problems with them.

The kids are 5 and 7.

The mom is nice and I have discussed these issues with her and I will be going round after she finishes work to ask her to remove the bag from my bin.

I am really fed up of them to be honest, my other neighbour thinks we should report them for anti social behaviour as they have damaged her car by chucking stones at it.

Out of all the kids who play and live here it’s only these 2 who cause all the problems.

I have spent a lot of money on fencing because of them as well.

AIBU to report them with my neighbour?

A 5 or 7 year old putting poo-ey underwear in your bin? No I wouldn't complain about this. The most likely explanation is that the child has soiled him/herself and not wanted their parents to find out. At that age it wouldn't cross their mind that there was anything wrong with putting this in a neighbour's bin. Obviously you are well within your rights to bring up stones thrown at cars. However, I would suggest you try to have a bit of empathy. These are very young children, they are not "truly awful", and I think that's a pretty dreadful thing to say about kids this age.

Sounds like he might have had an accident that he doesn’t want anyone to know about and is trying to hide the evidence.

You being petty

You’re ok with a kid throwing compost at your window?

5 and 7 is too young to be out unsupervised especially if they can’t be trusted to behave, that would be my concern. What’s going on at home for them, you say the mums nice so why isn’t she looking after them and checking what they’re doing.
putting something bagged in a bin isn’t the issue but throwing stuff at windows and cars is

Yes report it - return it to the mother and tell her you have footage.
The police may not be interested but there seems to be this - they are under 10 under criminal age but social services are.

Think we found the OP's neighbour.

  1. who are you going to report them to.
  2. at least the dog poo is in the bin and not on the path
  3. you are being very petty getting her to come and retrieve it, dog poo goes in household bins so there is no issue
  4. Just calmly discuss the issues again with the mother but at the end of the day they are young kids

Report them to who? The police will act if your neighbour’s car has been damaged, but it’s not a crime to put a poo bag in a wheelie bin
