This nice lady in Del Mar has a colony of bees she is giving away:

My thoughts are:
(1) Secure your place, autos, and persons first with alarms, sensors, dog, gun, etc. I’d feel comfy with a Remington 870 and learn how to use it if you don’t. Hopefully you are in a split level condo with the bedrooms upstairs. If so, make sure there aren’t any ways for others to climb up into the 2nd floor windows. If there’s ever an illegal entry, you can grab the shotgun and guard the staircase. Be sure that your pumping (loading) of the round is well heard. Have your partner call 911 while you wait.

(2) Actually try to be friendly with the malefactors. Wave hi/bye, introduce yourself, make idle chit-chat. They aren’t going to be in your inner-most circle of friends, but this can help to make things a bit more comfortable and will help your standing after step 3…

(3) Pursue all legal and non-violent means at your disposal to remedy the situation. Some tips have been mentioned previously. When the legal stuff starts to come down, the malefactors will start to make a list of the neighbors who might have done it. They’d be much more inclined to think it’s one of the other neighbors, not you.

Call and or write to the Mayor and complain about the lack of enforcement at the drug house. This complaint, especially if in writing will be forwarded to the Chief with some kind of tracking to respond back to the Mayor. Someone higher than the Officer who you spoke to will probably contact you about how to take care of the problem. They will probably tell you that you need to write down license numbers and give you someone to notify. They will also say they are short of officers and are doing the best they can and that a lot of the task force personnel have been redeployed because of all the cutbacks. They also might pitch it to Neighborhood Watch and or Code Enforcement to help you with the problem. You need to be a pain about it and a broken record. If it gets worse and they do nothing, then I recommend Turko. He usually gets their attention. Good luck. Stay safe.

LOL at the bees.

Flu is right, you should move. IMO you live in the worst part of Mira Mesa. I think you got off easy by only having shady people around.

If the kids (people are calling “juvis”) are under 18, call child welfare services at 1(800) 344-6000. Every call results in a case file, if a couple of neighbors call you have a strong case.

From the CWS website:

“The 24-hour Hotline is staffed by trained social workers who receive calls about child abuse, molestation and neglect. Each call is logged and evaluated as to the level of possible risk to the child. Neighbors, friends or relatives concerned about a child’s safety, parents who are afraid they may hurt or neglect their child, and children who believe they are being abused should telephone the Hotline to discuss their concerns. Referrals to resources and additional help is given to any who have that need.”

I think the #8 birdshot is fine, you don’t wanna kill innocent bystanders on the other side of the wall. In a townhouse I would even consider rock salt loads or bean bag.
