He just rang to tell me.
Two weeks ago his car was broken into (alarm wasnt set so we didnt know until the morning) and his radio and some loose change was taken. It caused a nightmare because when they scooped up the loose change the took the immobiliser key that was mixed in with it. DP spent all morning the next day trying to disable it so he could get the car started. We didnt bother reporting it because he hadnt set the alarm and the radio was cheap.
Anyway, last night, at about 1.30am, we were in bed, suddenly heard a loud bang on our car and then the alarm went off (DP had been meticulous in setting it since the break in). We jumped up instantly (our bed is under the window) to see one of next doors sons running towards his house, he looked up for a second then ran inside. DP went out to investigate, and whilst out, heard a window open in a bedroom and someone say "what did you do?".
I rang my brother (who is a policeman) and he said to report it. DP didnt want to because of the time of night and because I have work this morning, so was going to ring them this morning. After dropping me off at work, he decided not to ring the police, but to knock and get them to deal with it themselves. The wife opened the door first and didnt believe what DP had said, giving it the mock shock "NOOO????, NOOOO???, my boys wouldnt do that" etc. He tells me he re-iterated several times that he didnt want any trouble, but he didnt want it happening again. She then said she had heard the alarm going off, and had gone to the toilet, and on her way back checked the boys were in bed (er why? they are teenagers) and that one was asleep on the floor, and the ohter asleep on the bed. At which point the husband came down the stairs, cursing and swearing and telling DP to "fuck off, off my property etc etc" He then squared up to DP and offered him out!!!!!!! (DP wasnt phased by this at all btw but its not the point although DD was with him, albeit not right next to him).
We have to live next door to these people.....they have been ignorant twunts at teh very best of times, and now this......I know its evil to wish ill on someone, but, i just wish they would go away. Very very far away.
(This is the same twunt i posted about the other week who had shunted his other neighbuors car a foot backwards whilst trying to park his van - i didnt do anything about it in the end.....wish i had now)
