Ara,

trust me, i understand. i mean, you can go two ways: befriend them and hope they'll come around or ignore them. but if they are the a-holes you describe them as, better to get the advice of the local PD as well as an attorney. oh this is important: the freakin' lame arse PD in my home town gave me the advice that "whenever stuff goes down, call us and we'll make a report so you can have some history of the dispute". well 3 years later, i finally decide enuf is enuf. so guess what? Those dork arses only filed TWO reports in the last 3 years. later i learned that for neighbor to neighbor disputes, often times the police do not write anything down and just talk /w the neighbors. so i recommend that if they do call the cops, they tell the cops that "based on my attorney's advice, i want an incident report and that can pick up a copy later this week". they cant refuse and if they do, make sure you tell your gf to take some badge number(s) down.
