On several occasions now, the new neighbors across the street have had cars coming and going day at any hours of the day, particularly 1am to 3am. During the early afternoon they can be seen loading/unloading the same vehicle for up to 4 hours at a time (without any luggage or boxes, or even the car being “filled” or “emptied” from anything substantial from the time they started to the time they finished –save for the exception of one or two medium sized duffle bags). Also, beyond having 3 cars where seem to be their own (one new pick-up truck, a 5 yr old Jeep Cherokee, and a run down old Chrysler), they had two trailers, both sitting on the lawn when not in use. However, when in use, the closed large white trailer (the kind with no visibility of items carried) is parked with the opening right up against the wall of the house in the car port (inches from the house as if to restrict the view from any angle to see between the house and trailer, to see what was being carried – granted it is possible they just wanted to be as close to the steps as they could to move furniture…which was never seen). The new pickup truck has been consistently parked on the front lawn, and the day after showing up every few days it is left on the lawn all day with all doors and windows open and the hood raised (as if to air the vehicle out, this has been done more than once now). There is almost always 1 to 6 people sitting around: on the truck bed, in the cars, on the front porch. When they are not “loading” a vehicle they are doing absolutely nothing, and usually one or two of them do not where shirts. Within the first two weeks they moved in I have come home in the late afternoon to the local Sheriff talking with them for up to an hour. I assume about noise or public disturbance calls. There are always more cars there at night than in the day, as I’m sure they are have friends over or are partying. This bothers me in no way, except when the party moves onto the front lawn. More and more, litter finds its way across the street into my yard…even in the day time it arrives. What I believe is the reason for what I believe to be public disturbance responses is the very loud diesel pickup truck, with a trailer attached it sounds like a semi or the weekly garbage truck, only it sticks around making noise for 15-30 minutes whenever it leaves (usually early morning). At any time, probably 6-12 times a day, their little bullet bike can be heard revving or taking off. Even at 1am and 3 am.
In two weeks of living there, their entire lawn has died. In the past month the whole neighborhood otherwise has only developed a couple of burnt spots on their lawns from this hot summer.
As far as drugs are concerned, I have only seen my new neighbors smoke cigarettes in the yard, hopefully not the Marlboro Menthol boxes often in my front yard. And it is reasonable to believe from their “open windows” during their party hours that they are drinking alcohol at night. I have seen no specific evidence of hard drugs from these young people (4 to 5 people between 18-33 – one female, the rest males), except for the lacking evidence of work throughout the day (hanging out in on the porch all day), the loading and unloading of empty vehicles, and the airing out of vehicles; and, of course, the extra cars which arrive at night.
The very brief owners just before them drove a black Escalade and a black Hummer, both with tinted windows, spinners, and more; they were the newest and most costly vehicles in the neighborhood (more costly than some neighbors’ Deville, new Mustang, or new Charger). However, those owners did not bother us, as it was assumed they were house “flippers” and had already directed work on a nearby house. Plus, they had at most 4 to 5 cars parked at the property, none of which arrived and left often. Also when they were home, they were inside. And when extra cars were there, work and sawing and hammering was being done on the house.
