Interesting that on a recent Legacy Club call, we had a caller with a similar situation, and one of the other listeners had been through something remarkably similar, as well. I’m afraid the world does contain its share of bullies and they must be dealt with. Legally, of course, but still dealt with.

The fact is, David, it IS a matter for the police. Yet, their hands are tied in not having proof. Still, my suggestion would be to keep them involved by documenting everything that happens, getting photos or video and continually (though, pleasantly) continuing to report each and every incident.

Be, what I call, the “nice sqeaky wheel” – those are actually the ones that get results. While these results will most likely not be as fast as you’d like them to be, hopefully, over time, it will happen.

Anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions to share with David in terms of handling this situation legally and/or emotionally?

What is your best advice for striving towards higher consciousness if say, you have bullies for neighbors? IN the last couple of years they’ve vandalized my property (torched my mailbox and garbage cans, cut down shrubs, tore down privacy fence)…and called my mom some very bad names that I won’t repeat on this forum. There’s nothing the police can do…because there’s no proof. I fear that this year will escalate even more since the economy is falling off a cliff.

So, how do you compose yourself when you live in a toxic waste dump, so to speak?

It’s like listening to a salesman at a fitness center preaching about the benefit of healthy eating and exercise while he is munching on a Krispy Kreme.
