Last month two family moved in the 2 door apartment in front of our house. Since then, I seldom have peace and quite time. They are very very noisy. They are always chattin' loudly and they laugh like hell. At first, I thought I was the only one complaining about this, but it turned out that several of neighbors cannot stand the noise, as well. If they are not talking....their radios or TV are set on maximum level. They are like deaf. Not only that, a week after they moved in, one of the kid left a lighted candle inside the bathroom, probably the wind blew and their curtain caught a fire. One neighbor saw the smoke coming out of their house so she ran outside shouted "fire". My neighbors and I ran to see and help put out the fire. But their door was lock, apparently nobody's home. So one man, forced the door open. There was smoke all over the house, and they were not able to pin point immediately where the fire is. Luckily, the firepolice came just in time. They were able to put out the fire before it became big. Our new neighbor didn't even bother to apologize or thank us all for what happen. Do you think we should petition them? How should we handle them?
