I'm all bent out of shape this weekend because I'm dealing with the first major neighbor drama in 20+ years of renting or owning a house. Any stories or advice would be appreciated. My neighbor drama started when the next-door neighbor bought some ATVs for his adult kids and grandkids to ride when they visit him. If it's a sunny Saturday afternoon, it now sounds like I live next door to a biker gang. Three weeks ago, I saw a bunch of ruts and tire tracks in my yard so I reviewed surveillance camera footage to find out what happened. It turns out that his kids and grandkids were riding the ATVs in my yard like they owned the property. I told my neighbor about it and asked him in the nicest way possible to keep his family from riding the ATVs on my property. At first he denied it so I asked him if he wanted to see the video and the damage to my yard. He didn't reply at all to my question, which really pissed me off so I told him that I don't know where he grew up, but in this part of the country, you don't fuck with a man's yard. You might as well fuck with his wife while you're at it. To that, he replied, "I get it" so I was hoping that the problem was resolved. His kids and grandkids were riding the ATVs in my yard again yesterday so I called the cops. The cops told his adult kids that they're not allowed to ride the ATVs on my property and that they'd be charged with trespassing and held liable for damages if they ever did it again. One of the trashy heifers associated with this family yelled "What a dick!" loud enough for me to hear it as I was walking back into my house.
I can understand kids or teenagers pulling this kind of crap, but as a considerate and conscientious person, I just can't wrap my head around grown men acting this way. I was planning to sell the property in four years, but now I'm thinking about selling it sooner rather than later, which definitely wouldn't be ideal for me. Now I can't decide whether I should cut my losses and let the idiots win or stay here for another four years. I'm leaning towards staying here for another four years.
