Response from neighbor slamming large remote control children's model car (about 1 and a half foot square) into our fence when asked to cease doing same, "It's not your fence." Funny, we paid for it and it was our private property (not a rental home, HUD or Section 8, like my problem neighbors). Response from young male neighbor kneeling behind bushes in backyard allegedly tying his shoes after running after his "escaped" basketball (1/2 acre uphill from his backyard...yeah right) claims that he has to leave by our FRONT yard, apparently doesn't realize we know he lives behind us and is trying to mislead us, arrested by another neighbor later for stealing. Other neighbors plagued by trespassers are told by officers that despite the "No Trespassing" sign, they're going to have to prove the trespassers could READ it! Glad to hear that officer "retired" from the force under a cloud a few years back, he was past due for it, with this attitude and other incidents that indicated same. Neighbor says to come over so she can ask me something, and asks why the house next door is empty, within a couple of days the landlord comes through my gate (which is SHUT with a no trespassing sign), onto my deck, looks into my backyard and calls me up to my own deck and asks me if I've ever been on his property, I said yes, she asked me to come over and look at the neighbor's backyard from her driveway and wanted to know why he wasn't living there anymore. He told me she wanted me to stay off her property. He's trespassing on my property because he came unto it without our permission right through a shut gate and past a no trespassing sign (ON the gate) and telling me to stay off of property she had asked me to walk onto??? There are some really messed up people in this town. It's a wonder that I'm NOT one of the messed up ones, after what that neighborhood but my family and I through and the lack of help from people that I trusted, hoped and prayed could be relied on to help us. I'm praying this city turns around but it's going to take more than what has been done so far. Law enforcement can't do it alone; it needs the help of the court system and good citizenship.

I know some won't even leave the house together in the area of lumpkin rd....they are afraid the house will raided if they leave together...but let's worry about a dang ballpark!

Something has to be done?

There is already a Federal law. Just enforce it.
