Does Ikea sell sandbags?

While 20 Mexican gangbangers are standing on their front lawn staring and pointing at you.

You do not have a lot of legal options here. Arson is a non-option -- that is an extremely serious charge and you do not want to go there.

Make sure your doors and windows are always locked, and sandbag the wall facing their yard.

Ya, that is kind of my point. I am not the only in the neighborhood but I don't want them to know that I called the cops either.

Funny thing is that one of my old battalion commanders got into a shoot-out with some gang bangers years ago up in Washington State. It didn't end well for the bangers as two were left dead.

If you are really worried about the cops knowing who you are get a pay as you go phone with cash. I saw it in a movie so it must work.

LOL - I am not worried about the cops knowing, I don't want the thugs to know.

If you call the cops from your home phone they are going to come talk to you are they not? I do not know since I have not been in this situation before. If they come talk to you then the thugs will know they did. So don't let the cops know who called.

You can make it anonymous and ask that the police do not come to your house. Unfortunately, I have some experience with this.

That would be my concern. Them knocking on my door stating really loudly "Thank you Mr. Airborneranger for calling us and letting us know about these thugs across the street. We have now taken care of the problem and will be leaving to not patrol the area for a day or two. Take care". Nothing like painting a target on your house and personal property. If you can avoid that, then next time they get rowdy I would just make the call.

Set up a camera and film neighborhood watch stye. This may also cover you ass if something does go wrong.

Yes they will come talk to you in front of them.
