Neighbor smoking weed in public - What to do?

[KAPA]

We live in a pretty upscale neighborhood, I will say we are not bringing down the values of the neighborhoods around us... Anyway we have a neighbor that seems to like to smoke up in his car out front of his house. Also have noticed lots of random visitors dropping by for a few minutes at a time. At any rate, the kid seems to be of about highschool maybe college aged and they smoke up in the car and then sometimes drive off and other times they just go back in the house. I have noticed this every few days so I assume they are probably doing it more often. When it happens, it stinks up the whole street and some kids walked by today coming back from the neighborhood park holding their noses complaining about a skunk in the area. Kinda made me feel bad for them and I really do hate that smell.

Debating on what to do here?

-Call cops. let them deal with it?
-Confront the guy and tell him to knock that shit off and then have a neighbor fued?
-Spray his car with a fire extinguisher while they are toking up?

Clearly the parents or bread winners of the home are ok with this guy toking up as you would have to be a moron not to smell this on your kid. I am sure they will tell me it is legal and will stand behind that even though it is not legal to do it underage, in your car and then drive, or outside of your home.

Really hate this new law!

Ask them to smoke in the back yard? I'd just call the cops...

Calling the cops now a days for someone smoking weed, you will be lucky if they show up. I would MYOB nothing good will come from fighting with nehibors.

Call the cops... Let them be the bad guys. It's their job....

Taking the good guy approach like "Hey you guys might want to go out back or inside...some of the neighbors are talking about calling the cops on you guys" might work.

Then they won't TP your house on Halloween.

Is the car running? Was it recently running? He wouldn't happen to have his keys with him while he was in the car, would he?

Yep. You failed to list "do nothing" as an option. This is a first world problem at worst.

I'm going to have to vote for "do nothing" as well. No good will come from it and I doubt the police will even intervene. Although, I do like the fire extinguisher idea.

But, if you insist on doing something, if the kid does live with his parents you could always go over and politely ask them if they wouldn't mind asking their son to stop smoking weed in his car and possibly do it indoors our in the back yard. Based off of their reaction I bet you'll know pretty quick wether they know he's doing it.

Do nothing is not an option. There are kids walking by this crap constantly. I am not putting up with this and I refuse to mind my own business and let these assholes take over the street and prevent kids from playing. Maybe I should set up a shooting range out front then, you know since guns are legal and all. I can overlook the small if they can overlook the sound.

I do see them drive away from time to time after stinking up the hood. I am thinking the cops can deal with it for now and see where that goes. I know other neighbors on the street are noticing this too so perhaps we tag team this thing.

Once they find out you are the rat, get prepared to fix your house when they vandalize it. Punk kids have nothing to loose now a days. Its a hard situation to deal with.
