| ok ok...all the talk about neighbors.....gee wiz!
Bad ones that is. The guy across the street is driving me nuts. He cranks the Metallica and heavy metal music for hours. I have called the police twice. It is to the point where the neighbors talk about it and one man who is hard of hearing and keeps the a.c. on day and nite can hear it. It is at night 10pm...11pm... 12pm...and later. He has been know to do this @ 5am. My baby cannot sleep with this. Can I make a citizens arrest? I am going to send him a letter and not sign it! He fits the nazi youth profile...I kid you not. It is soo easy to give advice to others...until it is you with the problem. He does intimidate me. me chicken you jane. |

| Keep calling the cops, every time it happens, and locate the property owner and let them know ... in some cities the property owner can be held liable if they allow a tenant to continue disturbing the peace instead of evicting them. |

| Lazygardens is absolutely right. Keep a record of every time it happens as your "proof". Maybe enlist the help of your other neighbors and make a formal complaint. Keep calling the police. Do NOT threaten him. Leave it to the proper authorities. If he threatens you, file a restraining order. You shouldn't have to live like that. |

| 1) go over there with cookies, introduce yourself, and point out that his stereo has cracked one of the glass panels in your second-story window. believe it or not- most 'headbangers' are merely slovenly and paranoid- they are unused to being treated as civilized creatures by 'normals' if he is the least bit reluctant to discuss neighborly behavior-don't jsut call the cops, call his landlord. if he's not YOUR landlord as well- find someone else in that building who will provide you with the contact info. but trust me- if you're rude to him, he will be three times as ride back- and if you're not going to stand up and complain to his face ( or get big, strong older dame to) then he will disregard you no matter what. |

| I agree, find the property owner, threaten to move. I love that scene in the Erin Brockavich movie where she goes out to the guy revving up his motorcycle in the driveway and chews him out for waking up her sleeping kids. |

| Piko... you DO understand the difference between a human being who has an affinity for Rob Zombie...and a dirt bag who uses music as one more way to express their general offense at having been born, don't you? no, I suppose you don't- or you assume that we old ladies don't know what we're talking about...but THIS old lady's poured coffee for David Mustaine, and knows that music lovers invest in things like wireless headphones... and that trash doesn't care about its neighbors. |

| This thread put a smile on my otherwise cranky day. Hey! I'm a headbanger....and I vote! |
|
| I loved the Violent Femmes, metallica, Meat Loaf, Anthrax, Jovi, AND Hair bands of the 80's and was a head banger but I never ever offended anyone with my music other than my parents. Ha! Guess what... he...crazy man across the street moved! Score one for the good guys. |
|
| So what exactly is a headbanger? |

| Chinacat ... I agree about going over with the cookies. But it's a no go on the cracked window panes. Why should he care? You gotta tell him it broke your good beer glasses! And all the longnecks too. Yup, that should work. Cyndi |
