What to do about my neighbour?

[pony2]

Okay, I have been having a bit of concern over the people next door. My partner and I have lived in a rented terrace house for about a year and a half. We are in Brixton/Herne Hill London.

Next door seemed friendly enough when we moved in, I think that at least three middle aged guys live there. About three weeks ago at around 11.30pm I hear loud banging at their front door, this is normal as weird people are always waiting and knocking next door. I know that people are awake and in the house but just ignoring the caller. I had assumed a while back that they were probably dealing class A.

Anyway, the banging goes on for about half an hour so I have a look out of the window and some guy I have never seen before is climbing on next doors bay window and falls off, it looks like it hurt. Next he starts attacking the window (very badly) with a metal bar. This guy is well out of it, I dare not go out and challenge the maniac so I ring the Police.

As I am on the phone to them I hear glass being smashed, I describe the scene to the operator as he climbs through the "upper" part of the smashed window with shards of glass sticking out.

The police arrive and get into next door. We can hear them talking.

"Oh, that is Rodregas, he was trying to get in earlier"

WTF is going on?. So the police leave pursued by Rodregas who is none to happy to see them. It turns out he lives in the front room. Window gets repaired the next day.

This is no way to behave, makes no sense to me at all, people we in and they just ignored the noize. I know they are likely off their heads but it is not on.

I figure I can live it and decide not to pursue it further, we are looking to buy a place of our own soon. This is the first time that anything has happened.

I have just been out to the garden and I was horrified to find that someone from next door had chucked over a syringe. This has annoyed and worried me, I am not sure what to do. Oh and how do you safely dispose of a syringe?

What can I do?

Fill the syringe with poison of some sort and throw it back?

[25 JET]

Move!

[Ordinary Bloke]

Invite them round for cocktails? Fondue would seem too frivilous.

In all seriousness, I have no idea. Good luck...

Put it in the bin, move house sooner rather than later.

And be very careful when you pick it up if there is a needle still attached to it.

[speedy_thrills]

Pump their house with Nitrogen gas in the middle of the night.

HTH.

I found an amazing place to buy today, dreamy it was and had just come on the market. Later the agent rang to say it had been taken off the market.

please don't if the needle is still attached. we don't want bin men with needle stick injuries and hep C unless its those usless feckers who wont empty my bins.

Ifthe needle is attached I would call the council and get them to disspose of it or with a stiff paif of gardening gloves on hoik back over their fence.

Do this. Make sure it's in some kind of container so it doesn't stab your bin man.

Did it definitely come from next door? When I lived in a less salubrious part of Birmingham we used to to occasionally find syringes in the garden; it was a nice secluded place for random passing smack heads to shoot up.

Report to the police. Keep doing reporting until some form of action is taken. You shouldn't have to put up with that.

Yeh FFS don't put it in the bin. Vet, NHS walk in, doctor's surgery will all have proper sharps disposal.

Might be worth popping down to the rozzers if you get a spare half day.... They may be interested to know someone is using class As next door. No doubt they'll just give you a reference number though.

My first reaction was to chuck it back, I might. It has a bent needle sticking out, I have not touched it. Getting Lambeth council round seems like loads of hassle.

It must of come from next door, there is no doubt.

Nightmare, definitely phone the council about the needle. I found this behind my work (clicky for large image if you are brave).



I reported it to the council who came the next day and cleaned it up. Just to think that people were actually shooting up in this mess, very sad.

Good luck with your neighbour problem, and hope you find somewhere soon!

Need to be careful though, attract attention to yourself for being a grass in that situation can only end bad.

[10 Pence Short]

Ring the terrorist squad and tell them a Brazlian tradesman has moved in next door. Next time he's on the tube...

Burn their house down, and if its terraced, make sure your insurance is up to date***

• * Make sure they are in though

That's terrible!

That 'FreshnLo' stuff should be outlawed.
