Hi all,
Hoping someone can shed some light on what to do. We're building a new home, almost finished, but currently living in two caravans. We have rather nasty neighbours who are taking revenge on us because their 3 hunting dogs tried to kill our pet cat on our land.
I let him off with no council when it happened in April last year as he promised to get rid of the dogs. He not only didn't get rid of them, he built a new cage to house them in, but then let them out again and they were coming over again to our property thru fencing that was never fixed.
I have 3 small children, and my wife and I are simply petrified of these blasted dogs. They are extremely dangerous but the owner didn't seem to care about anyone else's safety. So I finally had enough and reported it to council. They slapped him on the wrist basically, made him fix fences and keep them locked up etc.
Problem now is they are riding their motorbikes and quadbikes up and down our fence line every single day and the noise is simply putrid. I think they have taken mufflers off something. I have measured the noise at 74db inside our shed, which is next to our caravans.
Our house is a little closer to them than the shed, so it's even louder. The rev the crap of their bikes right opposite where we are building and living. It is 100% aimed at us. They never used to ride the bikes, only a mini bike is all I ever saw. Now it's loud 450's or whatever they're called, throwing up as much dust as possible, all to enact their revenge.
Neighbour threatened me when the council acted, said 'lookout cnt, you're fkng gone'. I said thanks for your kind words and walked off.
It's been months and months now and there is no let up in sight. My wife is very distressed and not coping. They are ruining our lives before we even get to live in our new home. I get that they're upset and angry, but when little kids are in danger. You have to take care of your family. Why adults have to act this way is beyond me, how many chances do you give someone before calling out for help?
It's very nasty. We haven't reacted to it, we try to ignore it but its impossible. I cannot think of what to do. My wife is afraid to go to the Police, is paranoid about them trying to kill our children or other pets. That stops me in my tracks really. I assume they have plenty of guns and knives given they have hunting dogs. They are not approachable on any level. very very nasty people.
What do I do? Call the Police?
I have plenty of videos of them doing their revenge work, it's not hard to miss. You cannot escape that sort of noise, it engulfs your entire soul and it's not just the noise it's the message behind it. We cant move, we don't want to. Well, the wife does, she's had enough.. far out what a nightmare!
Cheers!
