Nope not much gunfire here

Yes, I think about this on my way to work each day and there is guncrime in Dartmouth and some areas of Halifax but 99% of the time its not random. Those involved know each other and often drugs seem to be the reason. I am glad its not random, it was that kind of random knife crime that used to freak me out when we lived in the SE of England.

Know all about DE...they can't even get maintenance right.

Another way...With proof:

I would take the issue to my RSM (a little camera video of the racket would help I am sure...same for DE with the complaint letter for that matter). My RSM phones/discusses sit with RSM connected to the other family...

RSM of unit of the other family...has the service culprit round for coffee. Job done.....unless things have changed, and drastically. More difficult when one party is deployed but phones and e-mail are still available.

That's the way I would play it if I was in your chain of command....The unit (s) still could and should play a roll.

We have the equivalent to DE also...but I would not hesitate skinning the cat with video evidence (corroboration with other neighbors that there really is a problem), another way. I would not hesitate to personally visit our DE types and get them to enforce clear wrongdoing....IAW the Married Quarter occupancy rules. I have mellowed though

Even without video evidence...I would still engage the unit...and you can't be the only family suffering these fools. Have other neighbors complained?

Or continue "to give peace a chance...."

Hope it all resolves...Best of British...

Were you the victim, or witness, or a random knife crime? I imagine that would put me on edge too

Nope but my friends son was, hes only 14. they wanted his mobile phone. And those lovely teens that used to shout F'ing see you next tuesday to each other whilst leaning on my new car outside my house in the middle of the night were the ones I am pleased to not see anymore!

The snow melts and the needles from the winter are exposed. Even though north central Regina has a higher per-capita population of IV drug users than Vanvouver‘s lower east side, and lacks a safe injection site, the needle exchange program has been in place for so long I think the rate of HIV infection among them is substantialy lower. When I lived in the middle of the hood some kids rented the house next door and caused no end of grief with noise and partying and so on. Finally they moved on and a middle aged native man moved in. I saw a big box of needles behind the curtain in the kitchen window and assumed he was either an addict or the best prepared diabetic ever. The only wrong thing he did was borrow a gas can from me and not return it, but I didn‘t care because he was trying to make a little cash mowing lawns and I was impressed that he was at least trying. He was the best neighbor I had in about 6 years there.

And the ones that have never lived here.

WOW! You have shattered my perception of Canada. I guess there is no escape, good luck.

That was in Horley, Surrey

One thing we found in Canada is that when you have a big problem with neighbours then the local police are absolutely useless at resolving any problem and in fact just make it worse. Thankfully the chavs next to us moved on and the street is once again quiet.

I need to read more carefully

It also happens in Canada
