PrairieMom replied:
I tried that site, but it needs a name, and I don't have that.

moped replied: Is there a reverse directory?

moped replied: Or why not go knock on your neighbors door???

PrairieMom replied: Thre HAS to be, but I'm not having any luck. Its so frustrating.

Kaitlin'smom replied: if you want there name you should be able to look up the address on your local county's website, norammly under property records. Let me know if you need help, I have done this more than once.

PrairieMom replied:
oohhh thats and idea, like a 2 step thing... Maybe I'll try that.

lovemy2 replied: Yeah - why can't you just knock on the door

PrairieMom replied: I am very non confrontational. The problem I am having with my neighbors is that their son, (maybe 16 years old?) is out at all hours of the night playing basket ball, and basically having a little front yard party with his friends. They are loud, and the basket ball thumping at 2 am is ANNOYING. they have now disturbed 3 nights of my sleep. DH said that they were still at it this morning when he woke up at 5 am. that is just ridiculous.
The first time we just tried our best to ignore it, the second time DH did go over there at 12:30, but really it didn't do any good. They were at it again last night, so I want the parents # so when it happens again I can call them about it.

Seriously, am I over reacting? I just don't think it is right for 5 or 6 kids to be running around the neighborhood at 2 am.
A) my town has a curfew, midnight for anyone under 18
B)they are totally disturbing the peace with the noise and we have a law against that too.

PrairieMom replied:
Awesome! it worked! thanks.

Calimama replied: I would send DH over there next time it happened. No offense, but I'd be a little weirded out if I found out my neighbor dug around on the internet for my phone number, but then again I guess it's just like an online phone book. Anyway good luck, I hope whatever you do helps keep the noise out. I don't know why people think it's okay to play basketball, have pool parties, or bbq at 2 am.

That's all it is is a phonebook online. We use it all the time here at work and I use it for personal use also. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I didn't know my neighbors last name so it was easier to reverse their address. I was at work and I needed to get ahold of them about something going on in the neighborhood.

PrairieMom replied:
He has already gone over there, it didn't help.
I'm not planing on telling them I was stalking them over the internet. They probably don't realize I don't know their name, I could have just looked them up in the phone book. So how long would you guys tolerate this kind of behavior before doing something else about it? like calling the cops or something? and who do you call? clearly this isn't a 911 type situation.

holley79 replied:
Tara if after you talk to the neighbor and they are still doing it I would find the non- emergency number for the PD or SO for your area. They will normally send someone out and tell them to keep it down. The first time is normally a warning but after that there is no telling what would happen. There is no reason for a 16 year old to be out "playing" that time of the night. This is why we hav ecrime rate hikes when school is out.

gr33n3y3z replied: anything after 12:30am I call the cops even tho the noise orderance is was well under way I rather see them play and make a little noise and not doing drugs and drinking but at 2am no way I would just call the cops dont bother calling the mother bc she knows they are doing it

Calimama replied:
I agree. You guys have asked nicely.. now let the police ask.

luvbug00 replied:

i agree

PrairieMom replied: really? calling the cops isn't extremely "dick-ish" of me?

amymom replied: I would call Mom NOW. 'Maybe' she works nights or doesn't know. ?somehow

Don't wait for them to do it again. My son is 16. We allow him to be outside with his friends making noise until 9:30 this time of year. 8:30 when school is in session, since that is the time all younger kids should be in bed. It probably would be nice if we had little kid neighbors, to have him in earlier, but Mary Beth is the only on in bed at 8 near our house, so we let him out later.

He is not allowed to bounce a ball, use his skateboard, have loud music or do any other noisy things after 9:30. Mom should tell him that now, and then you won't need to call after the fact tonight.

Good Luck.........

Calimama replied:
Nope, you've asked nicely and nothing happened.

CantWait replied: I like the idea of calling the parents (if they're home) so that you wake them from their slumber as well.

If that fails, call the police. That's rediculous and uncalled for.

BAC'sMom replied: Most towns/cities have curfews for teenagers that are maybe something else you can look into.

Good luck

PrairieMom replied:
Yeah, i Know our town does. I am at work this weekend, so if they do it again, it will be up to DH to do something about it. I put their number by the phone. I think I will try talking to the parents first before calling the cops on them. I would prefer a parent to handle things that way if the situation was reversed. Not that it would be, my child will NOT be doing that.
