Neighbors out in backyard last night 1:30 am

Thay were at it again yesterday. They've had several backyard "burner patrties" since I last posted, but this one stared around 3:30 in the afternoon. A lot more shouting and loud laughing and dogs barking (I saw two dogs - a slightly larger than middling size white dog and a medium sized black dog). They probably had company. I work up at 1:30 this morning and checked and it was still going on. I don't know what fuel they were using in that burner this time, but it smelled like they were burning grass clippings.

Burning grass clippings were they? Odd.

debodun if you have't sat around a fire on a cold night enjoying life with friends you missed out on one of the pleasures of life. Whether having some drinks or making smores it's all about taking time to enjoy time together with friends.

Were it me I'd wave back and ask if I could join them. If they said hell yeah come on over of course if I wasn't dressed to join them I'd say give me a minute. The chance to meet new neighbors & start off on good terms is what life is all about.
 
debodun, you really don't like those tenents, do you? To be honest, it was a cold night, and several people were quietly sitting around a fire. And, my God, they even greeted you, when they saw you. Err, I don't see anything sinister in those actions. It was late at night, and, so, they were quiet. If you hadn't gotten up to toss your trash, you wouldn't have known they were there. So they weren't disturbing anyone. It was cold so they were gathered a round a fire for warmth. That's hardly criminal behavior. And they warmly greeted you , in a non-threatening way. It's hard to see a reason for not liking them. But apparently you do, Why?
 
Peacefully sitting around an outside fire at night isn’t typical behaviour? What is; bingo?
If they didn’t wake you up then what problems do you have with it? You just happen to be putting the garbage out when you discovered them so they couldn’t have been too intrusive

Sometime things start out peacefully, but can escalate. Nobody says anything the first few times, they think they can get away with more and more.

I see your point. Without actually getting to know your neighbors who knows what they would do next. Best to stay indoors and watch what they do just in case. You might want to get a notebook & write down what you observe so if you do need to alert the police you will have a record of their activity.

If you can't watch them all day & into the night, buy surveillance equipment with sound recording should help you keep track of what they do. Best to protect yourself from people that aren't like you.
 
OK, let me get this straight.

YOU were outside at 1:30 a.m. putting your garbage out, which isn't the normal time most people do that.

THEY were outside at 1:30 a.m., quietly sitting around a small fire, which isn't the normal time for that activity either, per se.

You were both outside doing something outside of normal hours.

Maybe your neighbors were wondering WHY someone would be putting their garbage outside at 1:30 a.m. But, I imagine they're not still obsessing about it.

It's time to let it go. Either that or offer to bring the marshmallows next time. Maybe you can make some new friends.
