It started two years with a resident cursing at my step-son for letting our dog in her 'yard'. Her 'yard' is a common area and is for use by all residents as long as that use is reasonable as outlined in the codes. As long as your picking up your mess, there's no problem with dogs being anywhere. I explained this to her in a civil and courteous manner and everything was fine for about 8 months. In fact, we told our kids not to go down that far out of consideration for the cursing residents' kids who played in that common area, and my wife and I cross the street before we get to their corner. From that 8 months until now, I've compiled about six pages of detailed incidents. They range anywhere from having their kids making clucking noises as we walk by to cursing at us and circling the neighborhood in their car with the radio blaring and flipping the brights in our faces when they see us. They've gotten the mom's son involved and her husband is also involved. They seem to be very good at walking the fine line of criminal behavior. We have numerous witnesses (some of whom have been subjected to the same verbal abuse) and even had an off-duty police officer mediate a 'discussion' in which the officer mentioned reaching a some sort of resolution. The father's reply was "this ain't getting resolved". We've had the prosecutor's office try and contact them via the USPS and telephone to have a mediation hearing. Unfortunately, these hearings are not legally mandatory and therefore have been ignored. These people have no interest in resolving this matter, only a non-stop continuation of harassment and I'm about to lose my religion. I pay a lot of money in HOA fees to live in here and feel that somebody should be able to do something. I might add that their position is that we're letting our dogs crap in their 'yard' and not cleaning it up. Not only do we not let our dogs in their 'yard', we religiously pick up our messes. The father said he saw me do it which is a complete fabrication. I asked him whether he had any proof of this and he said "I saw you". Any thoughts?
