Criminal Damage By A Special Needs Neighbour And Kid Around Corner

[Ladywriter1968]

We fell out with a neighbour with special needs a year ago, he knows what he is doing and just causes deliberate trouble for attention. A couple of months ago our car was done over, now alas no car, 6x now our windows been broken. My husband saw kid around teen age last time, CCTV picked up same description as my husbands when he saw teen run away, only person we fell our with is neighbour downstair, and he mixes with this kid. Kid around 18 and neighbour is late 40's.

The police have not bothered to let us know result of investigation of CCTV or what is happening, we even had stones as evidence but they wasnt interested, I thought this could be evidence for court to say, these were used.

Police do not question residents even the suspects they have not bothered so far. We feel they are not doing their jobs.

My husband works nights and I am alone all night here, and nervous now, as neighbour downstair knows this and he arrange for our windows to be broken during the night, and 6 times this happened so far, all our front windows are damaged, the council keep replacing them.

The neighbour has caused a lot of grief in our block and upset other residents as well. But I think he is given special treatment due to his condition.

We know he has arranged for the kid around corner to break our windows as he is trying to force us out of our place, I have high blood pressure and ill health, depression which is returning.

What else can we do?

I feel the system is not working for us. the police come every time, give us a crime card and then leave. End of.

If persons are caught what exactly will happen? and how long will it be before it goes to court? will he get off because of his special needs?

Why are you talking about dollars? Are you in America?

[Ladywriter1968]

to add, I should have said where I lived in my first one, I live in London UK.

[Ladywriter1968]

No in UK but I thought some here was in USA thats why, well I wasnt sure if this site was just UK or continental etc.

[Ladywriter1968]

Thanks anyway.

[Tilly2]

O.K. I see.

[Ladywriter1968]

I try to answer peep on here, The investigation is going no where, they dont know who it was on the CCTV.

[Ladywriter1968]

cause I am quite ill at the moment cant quite think right so if I dont answer all its probably cos I gone off to take flu meds.

[Tilly2]

I'm off too. Good luck.

you can get dummy cctv cams - he wont know they're not real. they are battery operated and move.

or you can buy a cheap camera off ebay - a dash cam can be as low as £20, you could put that in your window.

@Ladywriter

think of it as all good material for your next novel. Council tenants and all the devious and despicable things they do to one another to encourage their neighbours to move out...

Or perhaps not. We don't want to go giving them any new ideas, do we? :-(
