Week 2...Spring BREAK?

What a crock of kaka, beachmom .....what time do they stop?

It's still going strong......... Last week it was fireworks from the porch

Call me a killjoy, but I wouldn't think twice about calling the cops. I've had to do it to the college kids whose yard backs up to ours here. One Sunday night I was dealing with a scenario similar to yours and once it got to be about this time and my kids couldn't sleep, well, I called the police. Cops won't tell them who made the call. Problem was solved in a half hour.

A U-Haul for beer? If they are disturbing the peace and your family can't sleep, maybe you should call them first, ask them to quiet down and clean their mess, or you'll have to take further action.

Although, we had 2 groups of unrelated underage fellas an owner rented to last week, and our grounds owner who we pay to monitor things, went out to the pool at 2:30 am to ask them nicely to quiet down, and found glass broken by the pool which got in. So he closed it down for cleanup early am, and they decided to jump the fence with more beer bottles the next night (since he padlocked it at around 10 pm after it was cleaned)
So, he went back again, and one of the fellas kind of got in his face ( I am an adult, I know what i am doing blah, but meanwhile they broke more beer bottles jumping the fence or they were throwing them off the decks.
Fortunately one of the other fellas came and kind of broke things up or it could have gotten ugly, and my neighbor is a really laid back guy, so I know he didn't get nasty or loud.
But when people are drunk, you never know how they will react.

Maybe it's better to just call the Sheriff? How would they know it was you and not another neighbor?

My point exactly.

i have no problem with calling the police and i wouldn't even bother calling the home first. sleep is precious, and especially for kids so i say to heck with it - call the cops !

Beachmom, I could tell you stories that would curl your hair about what's going on with rambunctious spring-breakers this year. Let me say: you are not alone! (unfortunately)

Heck, I wouldn't hesitate to call the sheriff. In the past I had to call the police here in GA (after a few warning calls) because our next-door neighbors would go to their lake house to allow their teenaged girls to have big parties. Frequently the parties were on weeknights, and because our bedroom is on the side of our house that is on their driveway side, all of the screaming and cussing would keep us up all night. And then we'd be zombies the next day at work. The worst time was at a birthday party when the 16 year old got a brand new BMW convertible for her birthday. At about 2 AM the kids got so drunk that they filled it up with water. All I heard was kids screaming, "Oh, sh--!" The car was totaled. The parents bought her a new one a few days later. They obviously didn't care about the partying or underaged drinking. BTW these are "old money" people.

Beachmom if you know the owner or the management company I would call them first. Who knows what kind of damages are going on inside, and how the kids represented themselves. Did they pay enough of a deposit to cover whatever they have done to the place? the owner deserves to know what's happening. If that doen't stop things, then I would call the cops.

Make the call. They are being comepletely disrespectful of the owners of the house, and the neighbors. Since they have basically given the finger to every rule and have bad manners on top of it, screw'em.

Hopefully the owners will learn their lesson and not rent to "good kids" next year....

Give the kids a break. They just want to get drunk. :funn:You know I'm kidding abou the first sentence. If they gave you their number, I would have called it already, and told them what time quiet time begins, and let them know that since you have called them, the next call will be to the Sheriff's Office. It isn't a one call per night to them. They need to remember the quiet time hours for the remainder of the week.

On a similar note of no adults in sight, at 8:30pm last night, Seaside looked like a town made specifically for 11-15 yr olds. I saw no adults, but at least 100 kids running around. I felt way out of place as I walked through all the kids. Word on the street is that there was a major fight between a couple of kids in Seaside on Monday or Tuesday night with one of the kids getting the crap beaten out of him. Most of the kids I saw last night seem to be in control and just having a little social fun. I saw a few lit cigarettes, but didn't notice anyone drinking. There was a Sheriff's Deputy car parked in Seaside, so I guess the Deputy was patrolling on foot keeping an eye on things.

Thanks everyone- you should see the mess this am!!! Sad thing is, we did call the owner the 1st day they were here- we always keep an eye on things for him- and he assured us that these were good kids and should be fine. Apparently he didn't go through his rental co. on this one sooo, can't help anymore on the house. If it goes on again tonight (who am I kidding- when it happens again tonight!!) I'll be making some phone calls.
Is spring BREAK almost over yet?!?!

The spring breakers need to stay in PCB or Destin condos if they want to party. This is exactly why I purchased in a non-rental community. I would definitely let them know that 11:00 p.m. starts quiet time and if they continue call the sheriff. Maybe next year they'll find somewhere else to stay.:clap_1:

Beachmom, here's the plan - go get Jfunn's bullhorn.
Teenagers can party all night and sleep all day, this is when you
get your revenge. Mow the yard, get out the weedeater, yell
at your kids thru the bullhorn and start all of this about 7 a.m.

I'll come help!! I have 2 barking dogs too!

just be ready for a pissing contest if you want to play that game.

Well, that should teach him. ;-)

Seriously...the sheriff's department is 267-2000. They are a little understaffed at the moment, but both the evening and the midnight shifts are out between 9 pm and 1 am. The closer to midnight you get, the grumpier the cop is likely to be, which is good in these situations.

Good luck !

Nope, I don't think so - they aren't smart enough plus they know they have no clout.

Be sure to play some music they would hate...I don't know...Conway Twitty maybe, Twitty lovers don't hate me. Play it really loud, or turn up cspan

Oh yeah That would be funn. Then play some ol time rock n' roll for their listening pleasure. Maybe a little Zep Whole Lotts Love, or Floyd , the one with all the clocks going off..... :clap_1:

Ooh, maybe some good ol' bluegrass...that will always perk ya up first thang!

Funny you should say that Dbuck!! This am I told the kids "jokingly" that we should wake them up now- so one yelled out the window- "wake up, wake up, wake up!!!" (6:45 )

I'm loving the sheriff dept. right now- they put one of those speed tracker things on the road right before the house they are staying in , not that it's helping yet....they came in behind me at double + the speed limit...but it still is something.

I need the military bugle call! and Jdarg- I've got the 2 barking dogs covered!!:clap_1:

I guess you could always go over to the party with a video camera, and when they ask what you are doing, you could threaten to send via youtube.com to their parents if they don't keep it quiet after 10pm.

:funn: Good one!

I thought of something like that:scratch:

I'll come help!! I have 2 barking dogs too!

We could make it Bark Park for a morning! Just meet at Beachmom's house with our dogs and go for a walk! I have at least 2 semi-social ones that would love to come!

Do you have a car alarm? Can you park right in front of their place and set it off as you leave in the morning? Or heck, just honk the horn again and again. The kids might get a kick out of that.
