Well, we had quite the exciting night! The house opposite to us is being renovated, the whole top half is gone and the owners are living in the basement part. Anyway, at about 11pm we hear shouting and swearing, after about 10 minutes its really really loud so I get up and go out onto our top deck which looks over the whole street.
Basically the guy across the road found a bunch of teenagers casing the place and caught one of them as they ran off. So the rest of the teenagers there were about 8 of them to start with, were threatning to kill him etc etc etc, they had bricks and things. So I tell DH to call the police pronto. Turns out guy across the road is an ex police man, and he was so so calm the whole time, but also not taking any of the crap, never swore or anything even though I have never in my life heard language like those kids used, they are inventive I have to say! But he wouldn't let go of the kid he had caught.
So I can see everything from where I am and hear everything, and 2 of the teenagers who looked the oldest, slipped away up the street, I think they were probably the ones who orchestrated the whole thing and were smart enough to duck while they could. In the meantime the ex cop is telling the kids to call their parents, none of which would, except the 14 year old, that's right 14 year old girl with them. She called her mom.
And then the cops arrived!!! I was like 
they had dogs and stab vests and there were 3 cars and van full of them!!! Anyway, they had them all handcuffed and sorted out in short order. They let the girl wait for her mom to come and get her.
What was really funny was our neighbour to the left came out in the middle of all this and was like, I can't believe this is happening and you have just moved in! It's the first time in 12 years anything has happened on the street ever! Lol. I was like, it's cool, no one is armed and the jpolice actually came, so like, it's a win!
