Nightmare Neighbours leaves Hate Note on Christmas Day.

[Jay1990]

Hi All, Just got back from a week away to find a Hate Note post it note on my front door. It read, So glad you are away. Alot of the neighbours think so. Merry Christmas Losers.! I have no idea why or who, though I can guess but it was left on my door between 6 pm Christmas Eve and 8 pm Christmas Day. Practically inviting a burglar to rob my house, as no one knew we was away. Such a nasty and evil thing to do. I'm fuming about this. Anybody got any ideas how to deal with this sort of hate crime abuse.

I would ignore, they are the losers and pretty pathetic to be leaving notes on your door. I'd just rise above it and ignore them.

If you know who it was you can report to police on the non emergency number.

Although it is a fairly minor thing it could escalate. Have they done anything else?

It's not nice but I'm not sure it's a hate crime

The neighbours are old and hate the kids playing in the garden, so much I got rid of the trampoline to try and keep the peace last summer, breaking the kids hearts. They are really mean and old. Telling people the house is empty to invite a burglar is nasty, since these are common in our area. Kids can't play in the front or the back of the house. I assume this is it. If we do, they knock on our front door and shout at us or shout over the shared fence. It's making us feel unsafe in our own house.

Well I'd get a new trampoline for a start.

Seems like you can't do anything without them complaining anyway so why not let the kids have their fun

The fact that they are old is beside the point. Are your kids overly noisy? If so, then teaching them to be more thoughtful is a step. If they aren't, then they have a right to enjoy their home and it's you, as adults who step up if they are being harassed and politely point that out, tell them to get off your property, keep a record of any abuse and live your own life.
It's not hate crime btw, unless they are being discrimatory.

New trampoline and in the summer a barbecue paddling pool music system and lots of garden based water play

My kids are free and loud if your local they have really piercing squeals and friends who are even louder

I can bring wine?

New year, new trampoline. It's a horrible thing they did.

An elderly couple living next door make you feel unsafe?

'So glad you are old and will be dead soon' is your reply.

Maybe in a nice calligraphy font.

I don't think they told "people the house is empty to invite a burglar" - they wrote a mean note. It's hardly "evil" though is certainly unpleasant.

Have your neighbours said why the children playing is such an issue? Are they complaining about noise or have they accused your children of any unreasonable behaviour? What dialogue have you had with them so far?

Im the youngest in my street. Theyre all elderly.
I was shouted at by one of them claiming i had no control over my child and if she sees my ds playing on the tree once more she will have the police at my door.

I suffer with bad anxiety and for a short time i stopped ds playing out. Then i thought wtaf am i doing

Just ignore and dont let them bully you to change things for your dc.
Buy a new trampoline and let your kids be kids.

Stop pandering to them. It obviously hasn't worked. I'd be looking to order another trampoline, raise the height of the shared fence and completely ignore them. Oh and a CCTV camera outside your front door. For when you are refusing to answer it . Just because they knock, does not mean you have to answer.

God some people are so sad and pathetic sorry op
