I had a problem with my neighbors' two dogs three years ago. The
barking started at 5:30A and continued until they came home around 5P,
then started up again when they went out to dinner.

I lived with it until they got a third dog, and it drove me crazy.

I went to their front door at 6:00a, ticked off, and in my robe.
Surprise, they were not home.

Left a msg. on their answering machine, no return call.
Called a second time - not home.
Called him at work and for the first time, personally talked to him.
His comments: "Oh really, I will be home to put them inside".
One week later, repeat of barking.
Called the cops. They knocked on his door - not home.
Called him at work the next morning and he said, "Oh really, I will take
care of it".
Three weeks later - A "For Sale" sign appeared on their lawn. Hallelujah!

Don't move, just call the cops.
I live in a small town, and wouldn't you know it, the cop was a relative
of the dogs' owners.

I waited way too long, and you deserve peace and quiet.

Good luck!

Often, inconsiderate people like this can become irrational, and will do
it all the more, once they know it personally bothers you. Either that,
or they take revenge upon you in some other form (Keying-vandalizing
your car perhaps?) if the cops are eventually called.
(Even if it's someone else that calls, you'll automatically get the
blame)

If it bothers you, I'm sure it bothers others also in the building.

Generally when the police are called they give a first time warning.
The second time they have to come out can usuallyresult in a citation.
(Depends where you live I supose)
That'll cool their jets.

People nowadays who do this generally have no consideration of others,
or other's lives, and seem to feel that you're just dying upstairs for
them to turn on their Stereo, so they can entertain you. Usually, this
consists of the Du-Rag music, with the boom boom boom.

They live in their own little world, and couldn't give a rat's @ss about
you. Mark
