OK, so forgive me if this sounds a little bloggish but it has just recently gotten to the point that I'm starting to get worried. Here's the story:
I've been living in the same neighborhood for about 3 years now. Pretty decent place, nobody is overly friendly but nobody is mean either. Most people just keep to themselves. All in all a quiet place.
Just recently (3-4 weeks ago) a house across the street and down a lot from my own went up for rent. It got rented out, no big deal. Well it turns out that a waterproofing company rented the house and is putting employees in it...like 10 employees in a 3 bedroom house.
This in itself doesn't bother me but the fact that these aren't exactly the most upstanding citizens causes me a little concern. I am not basing this on looks alone, I've had the not so pleasurable experience of talking to a couple of these guys. Every other word is slang/swearing. They ALL had at least one jail tat. They made lewd comments about my wife.
If that isn't bad enough, the part that has really gotten me worried is that today I went home for lunch and was walking the dog, one of them walked over and asked, "Would that dog bite someone if they broke in your house."
Seriously, wtf. So now I have to worry about these assholes breaking into my house when i'm not home. What about if blondie has to be home alone for a while when I travel? This sucks. Of course I said the dog might bite a stranger and she was acting appropriately crazy so I think he believed it. (he did not come over to pet her)
I don't know how long they are supposed to be living there and I don't know what the company is that they work for or who actually is the landlord and how to contact them. Any ideas on how to find out the owner of a property and their contact info? I'd send them a letter to complain about these guys if I knew how.
Oh yeah, and they like to play football in the street at midnight. That old cliche where someone is sitting on a fold out chair on the driveway drinking a 40 in a brown paper bag, well that's holding up here too.
