To ask how to sleep, with him across the road??

[ApplePieIsAmazing]

Across the road from us is a junkie. Thank God we don't have any dcs because he truly is terrifying. We have found needles across the road from us, we found what looks like a diy Molotov cocktail burned in our gutter and he has stolen our bin and many other neighbours bins and filled it with his kitchen. He smokes meth out on the footpath and he watches us, including the neighbours come and go.

We've spoken to our MP, the council and housing authority because it's government housing and he's going to be there at least another month. My DH and I have work all day tomorrow, terrified he'll break in if he notices the cars are gone and rob us and hurt our cats :(

We have dogs thank God, they have to stay outside while we are at work.

All we can do is lock our front doors and windows, roller shutters down

And you want to sleep with him???

Why do you keep your dogs outside all day?

I thought you wanted to sleep with him so was surprised by the content of the post.

I meant how can I sleep in my own bed, with him across the road. Poorly worded lol. He's always up searching the neighbourhood for things

I was gona say, be bold and shimmy up to his front door ?

Call the police . Every. Single. Day

How did you manage until today?

Install CCTV or something.

I'm disappointed now. I was looking forward to the ingenious ways you could entice your over the road neighbour into your bed.

Where do you live that you have roller shutters on your windows? I've only ever seen those abroad.

OP, if you’re not having kids because of your neighbours, then it’s time to move!

Blimey I was hoping this was different !!

That's the only reason I clicked too. Disappointing

I also read this as the op having... amorous intentions.

I don't understand why your letting him bother you that much. Just because he's killing himself with drugs and being a bit odd, he's not actually hurt anybody has he?

Haha! It doesn't sound like he's really going to be a hard sell.

'Fancy a shag?' would probably do it

I wouldn't like a meth addict living opposite me quite honestly but has he actually done anything to make you think he will rob you? Other than smoke meth and nick your bins?

You are in a awful position - if I were in your position, I'd be terrified he would steal or poison my dogs, but also terrified that if they were indoors he would set the house on fire (accidentally or otherwise) and they'd burn to death!

I'm so sorry you are in this situation.

Why is he putting his kitchen into neighbouring bins? Is this a junkie thing?

Time for CCTV (or at least a credible fake one) up at your place. And a touch more ‘live and let live’, while you continue to have him evicted.

Call the police, every single time. Don't let a stranger affect your life.

Christ, if he is indeed smoking meth on the street, call the bloody police. Simple.

Make some net earrings and fill with weed. Dangle the earrings (and ya norks) from the bedroom window in a Romeo Romeo scenario....

Put your knickers on top of your bin so when he nicks it (ha) he knows what he's in for.

Apart from that, yes council and police, every time.

And this is why we need commas.

Pretend to go out and then when he comes to rob you, surprise him in your birthday suit 😉😉😘

By the way, I just met my new neighbour over the road today, and he is certainly thread-worthy. Phwoarrrrrrr. Feel free to ask for particulars, if you’ve been disappointed by the title of this thread....

@Summerorjustmaybe - cheered up my day
