Arizona.
About two years ago, we had some less than pleasant neighbors move in directly across the street. During their first week of residency, they had music from a car stereo so loud that it was making things vibrate inside our home. My husband went over and politely asked if they could turn it down. The response was that they could do what they wanted and they liked the volume where it was. My husband said, "Okay" and promptly called the police. They arrived pretty quickly which tells us that we weren't the only ones to call. The police have actually been there to hear the noise at least twice and have told us to keep calling so that they could eventually (in their words, "when we get tired of coming here") cite these people. Lately, our neighbors have started blasting us with noise in short intervals, especially if they see we are at home. This noise comes from car stereos. These people are not even listening to anything until they see us out in our yard. Last night, my husband and I were both awakened by a 15 min. blast from a car at their house. The police were called, but after waiting up an hour to talk to them, my husband had to get back to sleep. He called to ask the police not to contact him when they finally arrived and the call was completely cancelled. I have spoken to the police and they say they can't do anything (they are very busy with more important things and we understand that. They suggested an 'injunction'. What does this entail and what would it accomplish? We are currently spending most of our time and money getting our house ready to sell...we know we have to move but it may take a year or so seeing as we do most of the work ourselves. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
