That's really strange, after they called the cops on them and all... But it sounds like you're getting som great advice and input in all the comments here. GO FOR IT!! Jag hejjar på er!!

Thanks for your...Fia:<br />A warm welcome to my blog!!! <br />Thanks for your input! Sounds like you have great experience with crap like this.<br />You are so right! A zero tolerance policy is the way to go. And yes, we do take pics. whenever we can of illegaly parked cars etc.<br />The other day the president of our HOA was here taking pictures and putting up signs of warnings on the cars. Then, out of one of the two houses, a 20-something brat walked out. Walked straight up to his BMW and ripped the paper (with the warning text) into pieces saying to the stunned people that were watching: You guys need to find something better to do with your weekends than to put crap like this on peoples cars.<br />Nice, huh? Very nice...Very mature and all that...<br /><br />IDIOTS is the right word to use! No brains and zero respect.<br /><br />I will write more about this, and keep all of you updated.<br /><br />Thanks again for your input, Fia!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27947982.post-12270542006447762962007-01-17T10:01:00.000-05:002007-01-17T10:01:00.000-05:00How terrible!!

Do not whine, but make them understand your situation and gain their compassion for it. Then ask if they can give you a direct number (possible a couple cell phone numbers) to some of the officers so you can get VERY quick response when the idiots act up. Then show no mercy and work with the absolute ZERO tolerance policy. Take pictures so you can show the police when they drop by of cars parked incorrectly etc.<br /><br />This is what I did when the people across the street from us were having gang-meets at their house, loud parties and tons of cars parked there at all hours, loud music from their cars, and fixing cars on the street.<br /><br />It took an intense 8 months, but they have now been OK for about five years. The people that lived on our street were to afraid to do anything, so these people got away with it for years before we moved in here.<br /><br />Make the idiots understand what my American husband always says "Don't mess with the Vikings and expect to get away telling about it"!!<br /><br />Good luck,<br />Fia (Swedish)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27947982.post-69314582748411532072007-01-17T08:14:00.000-05:002007-01-17T08:14:00.000-05:00Matilda:

There has to be something, and I know there are laws about having too many people in one house, that are not related. So, we'll see what we all can do. We are not taking this sitting down any longer, for sure. I just cannot believe how they can show so very little RESPECT.<br /><br />Oh, yes...indoor-field hockey is the right word for "inne-bandy"...Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27947982.post-17392095425324509652007-01-17T07:37:00.000-05:002007-01-17T07:37:00.000-05:00I think "innebandy" is called "indoor field hockey...I think "innebandy" is called "indoor field hockey".<br /><br />It's really upsetting to read your story about your neighbours, Annika. Your home is your castle, or supposedly so! So to have rude and inconsiderate people disturbing the peace is just awful. There are laws about noise pollution, at least in Australia, and that applies to both barking dogs and barking mad people going berserk at parties. There are clubs and pubs, you'd think they'd go there instead of upsetting a whole private residence area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27947982.post-48367494389716167972007-01-16T21:59:00.000-05:002007-01-16T21:59:00.000-05:00Anne-Marie:

Young people with no brains. I had a very odd couple in the apartment above mine when I lived in Sollentuna. They had an old piano that was not in tune and all of a sudden they could start playing the piano at 12 at night. They also seemed to play inne-bandy (have no idea what that is called in English) and it sounded as if they were in my apartment. Finally the guy moved out and it got quiet.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10642909080630838150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27947982.post-68579677890181624332007-01-16T14:52:00.000-05:002007-01-16T14:52:00.000-05:00Tina:

No courtesy to tell any of you that they're having a party and that the evening will be noisy. Also no sense to tell their guests to park in visitor spaces (I know not many, but still). Not only that, they have to take things outside. More like animals and stereotypical fraternity members. These "kids" are in their mid- to late-20s. You think they would have some brains. As long as you continue to live there absolutely don't let them take advantage of you....Glad to hear the dream house is still available!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646465112416043861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27947982.post-62573007558854980632007-01-16T10:47:00.000-05:002007-01-16T10:47:00.000-05:00Hm...sometimes when I try to comment, it does not ...Hm...sometimes when I try to comment, it does not show up on the blog?
