I've recently moved to a new area and have had some trouble from the neighbours. It turns out that they don't enjoy being woken up at 3am by drunken singing of rugby songs, they don't think it's funny when the "For Sale" signs get moved to different houses and they want their garden gnomes back.
They've got a little posse together, calling themselves a "neighbourhood watch" (pathetic isn't it?) and they seem to be under the impression that the teenage totty I bring home for entertainment are actually my kids and that they and their friends are responsible for the "undesireable and anti-social behaviour".
As they've got some close to etirement copper on side, should I come clean now and admit it's me, or should I play along and agree to better discipline my "daughters"?

enhance your operation by setting up a "gnome liberation front" the function of this would be to take a gnome and give it a holiday, for example if it is a fisherman take it somewhere to enjoy fishing. Then you photograph it (with a polloroid camera as a developer could trace the prints back to you) and post the photo to the owner of the gnome, you will have to make it obviose where the gnome is, so they can go get it. This will really give the neghbouhood nosies something to do enjoy ;-)

Ya know, eventually they are going to figure it out. My advice? Just be honest and add some humor to it. Tell them you've never had neighbors before, you plan on taking their yard gnomes on vacation and will return them in one piece rather than your first idea of holding them for ransom. Explain your sex life hit a stand still and now that you have your groove back, you are enjoying what God has given you but you'll try to keep the noise level to a low roar. And then politely ask them if they have any other suggestions. Or send them an invitation to join in on the fun and live a little.
Honey, life is short and there are going to be neighbors like this everywhere you go. On one hand I understand their plight, on the other, I say "carry on". If anything you are actually giving the neighborhood something to watch...which probably hasn't happened in a long time. In essence, you are allowing them to live vicariously through you.

No! Keep your mouth shut! Otherwise you'll turn into one of them. Just what the world needs, another dithering, doddering killjoy.
Just be careful not to wake them, (ie. no drunken rugby songs! if they don't see the perpertraitors, then they can't think it's your 'daughters') but keep causing havoc.
Just act with disgust and surprize, and nod your head sympathetically. If you're feeling really naughty, invent something that the 'little rascals' have done to your own home, then they'll be really confused.
Have fun.

We used to drag the garbage cans to the middle of the street at night, so in the morning while we waited for the school bus we could laugh at the folks trying to maneuver around trying to leave for work. We lived in a residential area so the traffic wasn't fast. One time we move lawn chairs, bicycles, plants around yards. It was just fun, we didn't tear anything up. Now That I'm Older I keep waiting to get paid back......

I dabbled while i became into youthful yet gave it up before I have been given pregnant, have not on account that then. i became right into a effective smoker, it became into occasional on the weekends right here and there, not a existence-style. i became into working ft and doing college ft. My mothers and dads have been hippy's, they smoked right here and there, I by no skill knew nonetheless. humorous tale, while i became into 17 a buddy have been given me a bag for my birthday and that i attempted to roll a joint and smoke it interior the outdoor. My dad got here exterior so I threw it in a bush. He mentioned, "the place is it?!" I mentioned "the place is what?" he's all i understand you're smoking weed, the place is it? I confirmed him the place and he have been given it, then he became into like the place's the rest? So I gave him the saggy, and he mentioned "Now, the place are the papers?" Hahaha. I nonetheless did not get that for a 365 days! while i became into 18 he ultimately admitted that he needed the stash and necessary the papers on account that he did not have any. first of all, you do not smoke something in front of youngsters. 2ndly, do not make it a lifestlye. i think of it fairly is irresponsible for oldsters with youthful little ones to smoke in any respect EDIT- i'm not judging my mothers and dads, they owned agencies and we continually had each thing we necessary and extra, they did not even drink, it by no skill affected me so of course, they weren't undesirable mothers and dads.

Society is as it is and you seem to be adding to it. Be respectfull of your neighbours you will not have to "come clean" if you turn the corner and be aware that some are trying to upgrade their environment and should be allowed to do so. So fed up of hearing about behaviour like yours we want to get the UK a better place to live why dont you be the first or I should say "make a better effort">

i wouldn't say anything. admit nothing, and make sure no gnomes are lurking in your garage, in this type of community it's only a matter of time before the police show up. kinda surprized they haven't yet.
on the other hand don't rule out a good spanking for the girls as that has it's own rewards (sometimes). or perhaps you need a spanking, naughty boy.
edit >> reading the posts, i kinda like sweetness and her idea as well.
