CAGiversary!
I'm looking for some advice here. I've lived at my house-apartment for about 3 years now and we are having some major problems with the neighbors at the house beside us. They have been harassing us and some other shit. It basically started when they were using our backyard as a cut-through, our backyard as their own, and were looking in our cars. Our landlord posted "No Trespassing" signs and put up a fence after two of them jumped on my car and dented the hood. They promptedly tried to run the fence over so it's uneven on the one side now. I just got the car a week ago when that happened and it looked like lots of little hailstones hit it, so I got it replaced because it was my NEW car. I had a police report filed and called up my insurance and told them what happened.
It ended up being around $3,000 to replace the hood and get it painted and they didn't like it when they started getting letters from my insurance company demanding payment. So, the winter came and everything was fine. Heard nothing from the losers on the otherside, but today they started it up again. They kept going around the house and into our backyard, supposively to get a ball or something, about 5 times, I didn't say anything though. Then, I open the front door to get some potted plants and I see that one of the stones we have on the side of the driveway to prevent them from turfing our treelawn was smashed against the front steps. It looked like they tried to throw it at the window but missed. Another stone was in the middle of the tree lawn, so I picked it up and moved it back, but there is still crushed stone on our front steps though.
Now, I'm seriously ticked off. Me and my roomie didn't do anything wrong but yet we are the target of vandalism and crap. Other than mailing them a dead horsehead (a la Godfather style, I'm kidding btw) what else should I do? They are immature and rather dumb, we lived here longer than they have so I'd prefer they leave. Any lawyers on the site with advice? Talking to them won't help as I have been the target of many ethnic slurs.
