During summer 2020 when the bars were all shut down a neighbor down the road a bit became the place to party for the bar crowd he associated with. Almost every night the party raged on, complete with fireworks 3 or 4 times a week as late 12 or 1 am.

Eventually I started to wake up very early in the morning to someone leaning on their car horn for an extended time. Apparently a closer neighbor to this clown had decided to engage in a little payback and they would stop in front of the guys house and hit that horn for a full five plus minutes every morning.

This fireworks at night and horn blowing in the morning went on for a week. I'm the most patient and understanding person you'll ever meet and even I was about to illustrate the reason why one should, "beware the fury of a patient man", but it stopped.

I did find out later that pretty much everyone in earshot of this richard called the cops, except for me. I was going to have a face to face before resorting to the last resort of calling the law.

Yeah, I always prefer the face to face, and have yet to get the cops involved. If I ever do get the cops involved, it'll be for their protection.

We considered spiking tires, but decided another good bourbon was a better idea.

Call the police for noise. Let your tax dollars work for you. You've earned it and you deserve it. There's no need to get involved any more than that and they won't know who called. Could have been any 1 of a half-dozen houses that called.

Thing is, if they're half decent people, they'll be more respectful after you handle it face to face. If they're not, the cops never stop being an option.

They could just be ignorant that sound travels. My nieces can sleep through anything, and as a result, they think everyone is the same way, so they don't even consider being quiet when others are sleeping.

No good deed goes unpunished. If you take the wine over, they'll think all is good/forgiven. Meaning they'll do it again. You put your foot down, leave it there.

A gated community has rules & regulations, that's what you pay for. Call the office. If no headway is made, option 2 is calling the cops. But only if it happens again.

May God bless you with a cancer free recovery. Hang in there dear. And thank you for sharing!
