Aibu to want to post all the broken toys through my neighbours' door?

[Theincidental]

At my wits end with inconsiderate, filthy, pain-in-the-arse neighbours.

Last weekend - a group of them got pissed with all their young kids running about unsupervised, then let off fireworks in the street, and left all the rubbish in the street.

Tonight- nary a parent to be seen, toddler 100m up the road (who I called back down and located parent), and broken toys all in the street.

They are 't even their kids toys, but ones they've nicked from other people's gardens, allowed their kids to break them, and then just abandoned all the crap in the street.

It's so rude, I'll-mannered, verging on criminal and irresponsible and I'm so sick of it.

So, tonight, I'm seriously considering bagging it all up, including all the junk food wrappers they've dropped in my garden, and tipping it over their fence or posting through the door.

Aibu?

Antisocial behaviour?

Police?

Any actual criminal act? Then 999.

Shame they've actually scooped up all the toddlers, then you could have got it some Child Protection.

Everything else is 111. Unfortunately most of the police service are going to be scooping up drunken disappointed England fans for the next few hours...

It feels like the police are on some kind of lapping circuit ATM- here all the time, but nothing has changed. I guess others are also sick of it too. ASB officers also strolling about. My lovely little street is becoming a ghetto because of a handful of twats.

Do NOT use the 99 for something that's not an ONGOING crime or an EMERGENCY

use 101

Yanbu to want to do it, although think the 101 suggestion possibly more effective?

I know. Rational me agrees. I called 101 last weekend, but calling them again feels like bagging or telling tales (ifyswim).

It's just so draining and seriously what can the police do if all that's left behind is a mess?

No. They sound delightful.

If they've taken and broken toys from other gardens, surely that's theft? (or burglary or robbery, I never know the official difference!)

I would call the 111 number and report the fact that you had to rescue a toddler that had managed to get such a long way from home and the broken toys.

I would also ask the parents to refund me for any toys that their kids had broken if they'd taken them from my garden.

It's not good having to report people continually but if the problem is continuing and there are new different things to report, then sometimes it's the only way.

It's the council that's responsible for the cleanliness of the highways, could you report the littering to them? My council is doing spot fines £50 or £80 for dropping a cigarette butt, although AFAIK they've only been doing this in the city centre so far.

Zip zap - I might be a total coward, but I just cannot see me speaking to them. They are pretty aggressive.

Cat sofa - littering is a good idea, but our council is tiny and there's no enforcement of littering or fines. We're also a very long way from any local authority and our local police station has closed, so can't just drop in there either.

I've just been out this morning and there are the remains of a surfboard, pram and endless food wrappers swirling around in the street.

I really want to clear it up but can't leave my Ds while I do it and don't want him wandering around in the road.

Arseholes the lot of them.

I think you should ring the council and the 101 number and ask for advice. Why should this sort of behaviour be consequence free and I don't think you should have to clear it up or leave your child alone.

Could you chat to other neighbours about it. I am sure you are not the only one feeling peeved.

Do they own or rent
If they are HA you can complain to them

OP you're right, I wasn't really thinking it through from the safety of being distantly sat behind t'interweb

If they're fucked up enough to behave like this then you don't want to be engaging with them at all :-(

How about social security to raise concerns about the kids and the toddler wandering around the road without adults caring?

Zip zap - you're right. Social services should be involved. I might call but what I know is a bit sketchy on detail.

Also concerned that there's 4/5 families all braving like this at the same time. It's awful.

OP I would ring them and tell them what you know - they will be the ones that decide what to do with that information.

If they are that bad then chances are they are already on the radar of SS - it is all the little bits and bobs of info that they can weave together to do something sensible with. Might be that your little bit is just the bit they need to make sense of a bigger picture and enable them to actually do something rather than just wonder about doing something or waiting until something actually happens that they know about...

Good luck - hope this weekend is better!
