Neighbors out in backyard last night 1:30 am

They were out Monday but that wasn't as bad as last night - started about 6pm and was still going on a 1:30am. People shouting, dogs barking, loud music and a 10 foot high fire going. They'd throw something in the fire pit and shout and scream. Looked like some primitive Druid ritual. I just don't know how these people can party so much and so long and get up and go to work in the morning or why the police haven't done anything about it. The police station is like 300 feet up the street. Why do they need that fire all the time when we are having a major drought and everything is tinder dry. A spark could set grass or leaves on fire.

Leave a note in their mailbox: "Nude sunbathing results in an even tan."
 
Have you tried asking the police if they are violating the fire and noise abatement codes? Hub is a fire commissioner and he can issue a ticket for those burning in burn ban areas?

That would be my first guess. We have a cluster of meth-heads living down the road, lots of junk, mostly automotive junk accumulating in their yard. I don't really care what people do, except that in this quiet rural neighborhood there have been 4 burglaries in the past year. I finally installed an alarm system, after living here in peace for the last 17 years.

My mom went through noisy neighbor issue years ago. She even had to go to court over it because they refused to observe the local ordinance about dog barking. Her attorney then said, "Everyone is entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of their house. You shouldn't have to move because of what's happening." I may also move into a worse situation and not necessarily neighbor-related.

I know the numbers, but if I start complaining, they strike me as the sort of people that can escalate a situation if they feel thay are being inhibited. I may start getting dead cats on my lawn or a horse head in my bed.
 
Go for a walk in the evening. Contact the two other longtime neighbours who you rarely see & ask if they’re bothered by the noise too. Perhaps there could be a joint complaint.
 
Yeah, my mom tried that with the dog barking. The other neighbors said they did hear the dog but it didn't bother them so they wouldn't help her. They thought it odd that a dog's barking would bother anyone. Hearing and bothering are two different issues.

So you have almost completely isolated yourself for several years because why?

I have lived here since February, despite the virus, I have met and talked with the neighbors behind me, the neighbors on each side, 3 neighbors across the street, from a distance, a couple times or more a week.

someone who walks their dog past my house stops and chats, and I force squash on him, 😂. I’ve meet some of the neighbors adult children, and a couple of people who live further into the neighborhood slow down when driving by and wave.

I don’t understand why it matters to you where you live, as it seems you have no ties to anyone Where you are now. Sell the falling down house and move!
