Good luck. Keep trying to get the police involved. I had to deal with drug dealing neighbors for months until the police finally did a SWAT raid on them. Many complaints were made to the land lord that kept saying he couldn't do anything.

Quoted:
Hmmm.


Structure fire?
Cleaned up a neighborhood that I lived in once. Same sort of shit as you described.  After the house burned down, problem went away.



Edited to add - we didn't light it on fire. But nobody on the street bothered to call the fire department either.

I have pointed out the dangers of those actions and she agrees now.
She thinks it is still 1985 and the neighbors across the street are bringing Christmas cookies over.

Yesterday the mormon missionaries came a knocking and she didn't even answer the door.

He is selling drugs out of that house.

We live in a neighborhood that was built up in the '70s, mostly 1,500 ~ 1,800 sq ft homes on 1/4 acre lots with attached garages, cement parking pads between garages and street.

The house to our north has been a rental for the majority of the last ten years, nice quiet people.

    Summer before last the market here exploded and the owner put it on the market, current tenants of the time immediately moved out and house was vacant for a few months.  Someone bought it and renovations were happening.  One day I see the new owner out messing with the sprinklers and I go over to introduce myself, he is a name about town and when it is stated he is going to rent it out, I say "Oh great."

   The 'handyman' that has been doing the 'renovations' moves in.  We will call him dick.

   Shenanigans ensue...

   First contact, we are getting in the car to go to church of a Sunday and see golf cart tracks across our grass and into his grass, I am pissed.  It is Mother's Day and we have the kids over.  I tell Mrs Homie I will confront him on monday, she does not do as I ask and confronts him anyway, dick proclaims "What's the big deal man? Its just grass."

   Lots of traffic, cars stop for just a few minutes. Sometimes out of state cars stay the weekend.  

   Random cars show up with expired tags and sit on the street for a week or so, one that comes to mind was a mid '90s chevy pickup, partially sanded, primed and had masking on the windows with expired Idaho tags showed up last summer.
Weird shit all the time.

   More shenanigans

One night recently, about 6pm of a saturday,  I am out taking our teenage daughter to a friend's for a sleepover, some fucking rando rings our doorbell. Mrs Homie goes against my stated wishes and answers the door after dark to some rando asking for dick.  
  I check the cameras and see a car had pulled up in our driveway, in my parking spot, passenger got out to ring the bell and driver was getting out as passenger returned, trespassing across the grass over to dick's.
I am beyond pissed.  
   The following morning, 7am Sunday I ring his bell and tell him to keep the fucking randos looking for drugs off my fucking property!  They trespassed across my grass and knocked over my Christmas decorations!  dick slams the door in my face, loud enough to hear, I shout "I will just add this to the list of shit that never happened around here before you moved in!"

We get home from church that day and there is a late model f-250 parked on the street, middle age guy in the drivers seat and female passenger leaned up on the fender, head bent and on the phone, I state to my wife "These don't look like typical meth heads."
   City cops show up.  
   One cop talks to female passenger and the other talks to dick.  They are there about an hour, dick even takes one of the cops inside the house.  As soon as the cops leave, dick goes to an old storage shed in the back yard, grabs something and places it in the enclosed job trailer in his driveway.  Moments later a black Camaro with Texas tags (we have seen this car a lot) stops, gets out, gets something out of that job trailer and leaves.
County Sheriff's deputy stops by about an hour later, rings the bell, dick does not answer.
Later that afternoon the woman that was with the dude in the F250 comes to our house to say dick is her x husband and has given their teeenage son some pot. She is pissed and that is why the cops were there.

dick was gone for a week.

Older Grey WV sedan is parked partially in his driveway with the back tires down in the gutter for about a week.  whatever
Grey VW is moved to the street and pulled up within a foot of my old truck.  whatever
Last saturday night some rando is jacking up the back end of said vw and removes the rear tires, leaving the scissor jack, and a floor jack in the street for almost a week.  
Maybe the car is getting repairs?  
Earlier this week the tires were back on the rear, but flat, the front tires were also flattened and dick's pickup is pulled right up to the bumper of the vw.
So, why the fuck do they have a car penned in between my truck and his truck with four flat tires?

Drugs=  Freedom
The Freedom of the recreational pharmacist priest of the Sacrament of the Holy WEED outweighs the OPs boomerfuddbootlicker concerns about his family.
Why does the OP hate Freedom?

Quoted:
Buy a van.  Park it on the street, with clearly visible cameras in the windows pointed at the house.  They don't even need to be turned on or working, just visible enough to get attention.  Before long you'll see the same vehicles driving past without stopping.

lol.

Friend of mine has an antifa sect in a house across the street from him. Almost as bad as your problem.

Quoted:
Set him (eta: the dealer) up. There are many ways. Be creative and don't talk about it to anyone.

Talk to the owner of the home. If he is really a "man about town" he probably doesn't want to be known as the owner of the local drug den.

Or shoot out his tail lights with a bb gun until he gets pulled over enough that they catch him with drugs.

Will we be seeing you on a Friday or Saturday night?  How are things going in Sanctuary Hills these days, apart from that?
