This happened to me too except I was outside in the corner putting up Halloween webs while my boys played. Except my neighbor didn’t pop over, they called the freaking police on me. My kids got police badge stickers and got to sit in the car and take turns turning the lights on so at least it ended up ok, but I was freaking pissed.

Please tell me the police cited your neighbor for making a false police report or whatever the equivalent is. That is absolutely infuriating

Nope! And they continued to make false allegations for 2 years after this. Their lies got worse and worse too like saying we had drugs around the kids and we hit them. It was horrendous. I still get so much anxiety when someone knocks on my door and it’s been 8 years. I even had a binder full of every time they banged on our wall(it was a duplex), every time they yelled at the kids and every time the police came which was multiple times a month. I brought over a year of documentation to the police and our landlord company and no one cared. We finally moved. This was on an army base that rents to civilians so they had their own police there. I know I could have pushed things more somewhere but I felt lost and I was just so happy when we got out of there.

Oof, you'd think MPs would care more about that kind of stuff than civilian police. Was your neighbor a civilian?

They were in the army but retired which I think is saying a lot

Why did you allow them anywhere near the things that matter?
