I have had a bit of experience dealing with difficult neighbors over the years. I would offer three general bits of advice for you, then I'll Freep-mail you something else in the next couple of days.

1. If you decide to take any action to antagonize them, make sure it's not something that can be traced back to you. In fact, you might even see if you can get invited to one of their 2 AM cockfights just to make them think you've got no problem with their south-of-the-border lifestyle.

2. Don't try to deal with them or correct their behavior. You have to make them want to leave the neighborhood.

3. You have to make sure that the reason they want to leave the neighborhood seems like an act of nature rather than an act of retribution.

Our neigborhood had loud neighbors move in...the police got so many calls from everyone the family moved out.

Can you give examples?

I’m not sure I can generate up an earthquake or tornado, lol

In Philly we used to throw dead rats in their tiny back yard or on their doorstep. Dead rats were not hard to find. Fish were plentiful at the ethnic markets, too. People have cameras all over the place now, so it requires careful planning any more.

I also had a small degree of luck from playing recorded violin or massive church organ music out the window through a tube that directed the sound other than the front of my house.
