The obvious answer is move, I can't for the next few years unfortunately. So I will get rid of the fuckers eventually but in the meantime...
I've posted about them before. Apologies this is so long but...they are complete arsebadgers. The wife has been out in the street before screaming that I have MH issues (I don't fwiw) and has told me that I am never to tell her kids to keep out of my garden. The husband is a complete wanker, performance parent when it suits him (like plays football in the middle of the street with his kid, despite the fact we live on a main road with a fair amount of traffic and parked cars...or shouts really loudly, whistles etc outside his house at all hours) although he ignores the kids for at least 5 days a week. Their kids are also a nightmare. Half the time they are left unsupervised in the street to run riot (they are 3-9) or else they are in their garden also unsupervised screaming and shouting at all hours (any time from 7am to 9pm) while parents sit inside.
They used to kick their ball over my fence daily and then climb over to get it. I was told not to tell them not to because they're kids. I now have a 6ft fence so the ball comes over less, but I have caught them trying to climb it. They also now kick the ball against if repeatedly mainly the kids but the dad does too. One of the panels is already bowed due to this and the fence is 3 months old.
I am not happy about this, or the attempts to climb in my garden (they also go in my front garden when I'm not there). I've also had NDN say to me that if his kids knocked for the ball I wasn't to refuse them (I said I was busy once as I was making dinner) he said I could see into your house over your fence you weren't doing anything. I found that really unpleasant and intrusive. My house isnt overlooked at the rear so I don't have curtains. I have got some now to stop him looking in. Twat.
When me/ family/ friends are in the garden now talking, the kids next door start yelling SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. I can hear the parents laughing so I know this is directed at us.
They have also (temporarily) defaced my DPs car by rubbing something sticky all over it when he parked in ''their space'
I'm an educated, reserved person. I grew up on a London council estate though and this behaviour is completely alien to me, I've never known anything like it.
I spoke to our local community police guys...their advice was ignore it all. I feel I shouldn't have to though it really takes the piss. I know that compared to people getting real serious shit from neighbours like petrol through their letterbox it's complete first world probs but for me this is still shit and I have concerns that it is just going to keep escalating. I am expecting the fence panel they are kicking to break by next summer. And they won't replace it either.
I also have a strong suspicion that they have (when they could still climb in) nicked stuff from my garden. I do genuinely worry they will come into my garden still. The kids also throw toys and rubbish over every day.
