You talked to his friend or roommate or whoever, but did you actually say that you wanted to talk to the owner, or did you just assume that talking to the friend would prompt him to come over? Not everyone reacts that way. He may just be hoping to continue on and avoid you. Yeah, kind of Chicken $hit, kind of just human nature, but you are also avoiding him too. It just seems to me that you are being passive aggressive. I think you are expecting him to behave like you would, and he clearly isn't, but that doesn't mean it can't be worked out. Go talk to the guy and tell him what's on your mind. Unless you're ready to move anyway I wouldn't sell my house without at least trying to resolve the issue.

Ding Ding Ding...exactly!

Have you done everything but just go over there and chat with him? According to what you think you know, he has recently lost his lady, his kid, moved into a house he might have a hard time affording and now has neighbors that "hate" him. Maybe, just go talk to him.

A guy 2 houses down from me flies a confederate flag outside his front door every day, and my view at night looking down from the upstairs window is a second confederate flag lit up in the window.

Not sure how to feel about this, other than the probability of him owning more than one firearm approaches 100%

I might be, but of course I was raised to not throw trash in another person's yard. Shouldn't have to have that conversation with an adult IMO.

Good idea hskerholic!

BRI Gun up and tell him to obey the man laws of the neighborhood. If he does not know what the man laws are, tell him politely what you expect from him and if he fails to comply (he is a Cockeye or Cyclops fan) offer to pistol whip him every time he falls out of line. Negative reinforcement is the way to go. If you need any help, fell free to give me a call!

I'm not avoiding him, I told his roommate I wanted to talk with the owner, he said he'd tell the owner. I'm not avoiding him, I'm not scared of him, it's probably best that I have a few days before I talk with him because I was pissed enough on Saturday night to do something stupid if he ran his chops.

Wasn't his kid, it was her kid from what I understand. He works days, I work evenings, I can't talk with him about a personal issue when I'm on duty. The city doesn't pay me to deal with my personal problems while I'm on duty. I'm off the next four days starting Thursday, we'll talk about it at some point I can guarantee that. No way in hell is my wife going to go over there and talk with him for two reasons: 1. She isn't very good with confrontation since she doesn't deal with it every day like I do. 2. If he did say something to her to piss her off or disrespectful to her his issue with me would completely get out of control and my conversation would involve quite a few curse words, yelling, and god only knows what else.

So she's a Virgo, huh?

 
Went over to my neighbors house last night as his new roommate asked me if I wanted some food as they were having another party. So I figured what the heck, he's making an effort so I'll try as well. I went over there and the guy that owns the house wouldn't look at me, wouldn't talk to me, nothing. I tried to get his attention, but apparently he's either afraid to talk with me or he just isn't gonna talk to me. I talked with several other folks over there that know I'm a cop and know I'm the one that called the cops last weekend to deal with the issues at that house. I explained the situation to all of them and no one disagreed with what I had to say. Every single one of them was friggin plowed! I had one girl come up to me, introduce herself and I introduced myself. She said, "You're a cop aren't you?" I said, "Yes I am and your intoxicated, you don't plan on driving do you?" She just went and sat down on the couch in disbelief that I was able to pick up on that fairly quickly.

I did meet with a realtor earlier today and got some great news on my house. I can make everything back from my home that I've put into it and possibly more. That's good news to me as I've put probably about $12,000 into it for upgrades, landscaping, etc around the house. This house was brand new when we moved into it 3 years ago. I would like to move to a bigger house, but I have to talk with my wife first and go from there. I told my wife it went well, but we'll have to seriously sit down and have a serious conversation about it. My realtor told me the house would probably sell in a week if that long. Her business partner actually has a couple that is looking for this exact type of house and couldn't find one in the city I live in so it could probably sell the day we put it on the market. Their maximum purchasing price is our minimum selling price according to the realtor. We'll see how the conversation goes with my wife, but I'm leaning towards selling it. The neighbor across the street is moving as well and I have no idea who's going to move into that place obviously.
