vandal grease

[lleesyy2k7]

hi i have 3 young children that play football in our back garden and the ball goes over 2 our back neighbours garden quite often. my house is rented and they have bought theirs but i was wondering if anyone could help me as they have recently put VANDAL GREASE on the fence between our houses. are they allowed to do this without informing us ?

if its their fence then why not?
Is the grease on your side?
Why is the football an issue? Have they done it because they are fed up with the kids climbing over to get their ball back?

Sounds reasonable to me.

How did you know they had put vandal grease on the fence?

dont worry about it. its only gonna cause problems if your kids are climbing into their garden instead of knocking and politely requesting the ball back.

in the meantime try and find a way to keep the ball your side of fence.

Do you have any idea of how anti-social it is to allow your 3 children to play football in the back garden ?Never mind the frequent kicking of the ball into neighbours' gardens and the slamming of the ball into fences - the neighbours must feel murderous that they are unable to enjoy a peaceful sit-down in their gardens without these kinds of interruptions.
I know full well what it's like from experience over a number of years!
Footballs should be banned from gardens. I should imagine you are very popular with your neighbours-not!
Whether your house is rented and theirs are owned makes not a jot of difference-an anti-social neighbour is an anti-social neighbour.
If your children MUST play football, then make the effort to take them to a park where they are not likely to cause annoyance to anyone. If you are unable to take them to a park, for whatever reason, then tough! You would be wise not to inflict their noisy games on your neighbours.

hi everyone thanks for your answers and opinions but emily yes i do take my children out to all sorts of places including the park but when my 2 yr old, 5 yr old and 7 yr old ask if they can play in their own big back garden i am not going to say no unless the weather is bad, also they do not got over the neighbours fence as they are way too small, yes we have knocked on and asked them politely and apologised to them for their inconvenience, it is not offen the ball goes into their garden, we have lived at our home for 7 yr now and the ball has gone over around 4 times and they were childrens balls ( blow away )
