I agree CM. It wasn't always good in my neighborhood. We had a couple in the house across the street running an unlicensed pharmacy out of their house. Lots of traffic on Friday and cars would come and go after only being there for five minutes. I was outside replacing my porch light and I heard abusive language coming from behind me where my kids were playing basketball in the driveway.
When I turned around I saw two guys get out of a beat up van. One pulled a gun and tried to kick the neighbors door in. My kids would have been in the line of fire if the neighbor open his door and began firing. I yelled to my kid to "GET IN THE HOUS NOW" The two guys heard me and ran back to their van and took off.
I called the police and told them what happened. They told me that they were aware of what was going on and that with our help they would shut them down. All of our neighbors (Except for the pharmacists) started to call in the license plate numbers of cars leaving the house. In less than two weeks the neighbors got a free ride with shinny silver bracelets.
We now have a great family in the house. The house had to be completely remodeled. There were holes in the walls. Ole boy that lived there had most of his clothes thrown in the pool that had to be filled in because of letting it go.
I have seen this more than a few times.
