    How would you handle this situation.

    ok,
    Heres my situation. I have this neighbor who speeds around the corner by my house where all the neighbor hood kids play. Its been going on for months. She flies by the house, Peels out up into her driveway. Well, The other day we are all out front playing catch,etc and this lady comes flying around the corner. She gets out her car and the all the kids say slow down. She looks at us and then gives me the bird. I just looked at her kind of shocked. I looked away and continued to play with the kids.
    Last night me and the family come home. We are getting out of the car and we see here fly by. I then here the tires peel out up the drive way. I walk to the back of my car and look at her house. She comes out to the end of her driveway and yells out at me. You have seomthing to say to me. Me and the family look at eachother like this lady is crazy. I then looked at her and said ya, I actually do have something to say to you. So I walked over there. I have a mitt and softball in my hand. She yells out. What are you going to do. Throw that baseball at my face. I told her of course not. I am here as your neighbor and I wanted to ask you if you could slow down just a little when you come down our street. I am worried you are going to run over one of the children out here. She flipped out. I got one close look at her finally and I could tell she was a speed freak as in drugs. She started telling me I was atacking here and that she was not going to slow down and that no kids should be playing in the street. She told me to **** off and started to walk off. I just left. Thier was no way to rationalize with this lady. I then told here if she continues to speed I would have no choice but to call the police., but I would much rather work this out between. She then says. Call the cops. I will tell them you pulled a gun on me and that you own guns. I seen you put a rifle case in your car before. Go ahead and call them. I bet you will be the one that gets the worse of it.. **** you she says then walks off. I just stood there in shock.
    I went home and told the wife what happened and just sat there for a bit. A few minutes later I go back out front to unload the car of the kids bags.
    Here comes the husband. I figure he is comeing over to work things out since we wave at each other every day , etc.
    He walks up and takes a fighting stance. Says **** you. You do not yell at my wife and threaten her. I then said I didnt do that at all. I came over there and talked with a calm voice and just asked here to slow down a bit. He didnt hear a word I said. He wanted to fight for sure. I just kept saying we are neighbors. Lets work this out. He was dead set on being pissed. After about 5 minutes of trying to rationalize with this guy I says.,If you truly dont give a **** then I wont either. He walked off.
    I went back home. Ironed a work shirt and was really concerned about , what if this crazy lady did call the police on me just out of spite and was coming down off her drugs and said I threatened her, etc.
    I could see this lady doing this after I talked to her and seen how she acts out of control of her emotions.
    That would cause me some big problems rights.
    So I decided to try one last time. I walked overe to there house and knocked on their front door. Hoping this wack wouldnt come swinging at me or worse. I told them this has gotten way out of hand. For what ever reason you think I am atacking you. I am only asking you to slow down a bit. I am a concerned father. She then says I will just come in through the nieghborhood from the other direction. I told here you dont have to do that. She yells out loud as she could. I dont want to see any of your faces anymore. Slams the door. I look at her husband. He just shakes his head. I told him again. I am coming to you as a nieghbor with my concer. Lets work it out man. He puts out his hand and we shake hands. He said he was glad I came over. said thanks like 3-5 more times. We shook hands again. I then left feeling a little better that at least the husband decided to at least talk in the end.

    What would you guys do in this situation. I still feel this may not be completely over with this crazy lady. I am really concerned about here trying to retaliate by calling the cops on me and saying some crazy ****.
    What do you guys think I should do at this point. I want to keep the piece.

    It looks like you did the best you could with the crappy hand you were dealt.

    Only in Kalifornia can a person who does not break the law (own legal guns) be blackmailed by a person who is a criminal (drug user). Talk about the world turned upside down.

      Call the police and report it first. I mean report everything, what she said , her flipping the bird, her making threats of filing false police reports, the husband threatening you.

      You need to do it soon. If there are other kids besides yours that have witnessed the incidents of her speeding and flipping the bird, get the police to talk to them also or any adults who feel the same way.

      Reporting it first will at least cover your rear if she does make a false report, the speeding thing you'll just have to keep calling and complaining until something gets done.

      I would even try to get a restraining order on the the both of them.

        Call the police, file a report and tell them that she stated to you that she was going to make a false statement by telling the Po Po that you pulled out a gun on her. If the Po Po don't listen to you, keep on calling, eventually they will get tired and investigate. I would recommend that you do not go back to their house or talk to her. She sounds like a phsyco meth addict crazy B&^%.

          Film her driving like a nut and then be pre-emptive and call the cops before she does. Have some neighbors back you up and call as well, perhaps?

            There really isn't much else you can do, other than getting the police involved, or contacting your city council and try to get speed-bumps installed on your street. It sounds like you have done everything a normal, rational person would do in your situation.

            I saw a similar situation occur in a local San Diego neighborhood where parents were concerned about cars that were speeding on their block, so they got some sort of a petition together and went to the city council, and speed-bumps were installed on their street about 6 weeks later.

              +1 - Set up a surveilence camera on the outside of your garage - you can pick up a wireless one at Fry's for about $30 bucks these days. Film her in the act of speeding in your neighborhood. That way, at least you'll have some sort of proof in case things get out of hand.

                Up to this last point I would have said call the cops. You tried to work things out peacefully, and she refused to reciprocate. They probably won't even come out, but if you call first they have you on record as being the RP and will be more inclined to see you as the good guy.

                If, however, the husband is willing to work with her, that is a good sign. It sounds like this woman has a lot of issues right now, and she's probably taking them out on you, him, her car, and the rest of the neighborhood.

                On the other hand, if, as you suspect, drugs are involved, then that makes working things out rationally a whole lot harder, and the police probably do need to be involved.

                  Even a hand held cam would work if you know what time she usually drives in that area. Borrow a cam if you don't own one. I hope you can resolve it peaceably.

                    That is even more irrational than I am used to most women being... and I have 7 sisters.

                      I would have already called the cops, made a report and sent a letter to the neighborhood storefront police office.

                      I would be talking to other neighbors to be on the look out and give the kids the heads up lecture.
                      If they are renters I would send a letter to the landlord.

                      Who knows what her issues are. The kids are being put at risk by her driving and you are being put at risk by her lying.

                        Notify the local PD that you neighbor has made threats to you. Ask to speak to the watch commander. Document everything with names, times and places. Make as many police reports that you need to make and get copies of them all. If it gets to the point that you need a TRO on them it may help with that. Do they rent or own? If they rent contact the owner of the house and let them know what is going on. It might be in his/her best interest to have them evicted. In my opinion I wouldn't videotape him or her out in the open because that will just escalate things. Use hidden cameras but post up signs that say you monitor your property with video surveillance. Remember to document, document, and document everything.

                          call the cops and file the complaint. film her reckless driving and show it to the police.

                          as far as trying to sort things out with her as a person, shes a druggie, i recomend never talking to her ever again. druggies are like the plague, avoid all contact if possible.

                            +1 and let her see you filming her breaking the law AFTER you have filed a complaint. She will retaliate or stop/change the behavior either way you will get a response also mount a camera to cover your property because crazy 8itches do crazy *****. You will have her dead to rights!

                              I disagree with that. Videotaping irrational people out in the open is just asking for trouble. The local PD might see that as instigating a fight and side with the other people.
