Every other day we get a knock on our door so they can go back and get it (our gate is locked). They lose it because they play with their yappy dog all day.

Whats the proper old grouchy neighbor response?

Next time they do it, don't answer your door. Then at night take the ball and bring it in your house. The next day when they knock at your door, play dumb and let them in your backyard to look for it. When they can't find it they'll assume someone stole it.

Maybe dey just want to see/talk to deir hot neighbor?


That was my other theory. If theyre at least ten or eleven, I bet thats it. Especially if they have ever come over with another kid sometime.

Weve done that multiple times and it gets annoying. It doesnt help that these kids and their dog are irritating af. Ive heard the boy screaming at the top of his lungs and threatening to kick the dog so many times. The dog often has barking fits too and I work from home.

Its time for them to get off mah lawn.

this is identical to the situation behind me, and it's crazy how trashy the family is because i'm in a really nice neighborhood
e: well not identical because they have three fucking dogs behind me but tbf only two of the dogs are assholes
sometimes you just know talking to the parents isn't going to solve anything
so i figured if i just throw the balls away, the trashy parents are likely to stop buying the balls
especially after i've already said something to the kid and literally looked him in the eye while he purposefully threw shit over my fence
once they also threw grapes into the yard and pool
so i just throw all their shit away now as soon as i see it

Probably let them know the next time they lose the ball in your yard, they don't get it back until you feel like going back there and getting it yourself.

There used to be some kids that lived next door to my mom. One day they threw a frisbee on her roof, and those little shits actually had the nerve to bring a ladder and climb up on her roof. She was so pissed

I would let them have it back once, but I would tell them that I would appreciate it if they didn't throw things in my yard. The ball could cause injury or property damage. Next time it happens, I'm keeping the ball as evidence and calling the police.

The ball has been in our yard for a few days now. They tried knocking on our door a couple of days ago but I didnt answer. I wasnt home yesterday. Hopefully it will teach them to be more careful.

If I didnt hear them screaming at their dog and threatening to kill him all the time, and if they didnt throw their ball over several times already, Id be nicer about it. Theyre about 13-15, these are little children.

Get a giant dog, name him Hercules, and start an urban legend about "The Beast" that lives in your yard. Then you should only have kids knock on your door if the ball that gets thrown over was signed by Babe Ruth.
