It started a few years ago during the time when my brother lived with me in Norwalk. Our neighborhood street was safe or so I thought. Before my family moved in into Norwalk, our former neighborhood was much safer and everyone respected their neighbor’s property, privacy, and noise level.

But things were lot different here in Norwalk. I noticed that there were more rental houses which brought in more than the average two to three vehicles per households into the streets. Some neighbors in my street had five to seven vehicles in one household! You read that right, five to seven vehicles. Some were just rental properties and others had all their relatives living together in one place.

On one evening, there were two vehicles parked in front of my house street curve so my brother parked his vehicle across the street. He told me that two neighbors were out on their front yard drinking beer and chatting. Then the homeowner where my brother parked his car said not to park your car there. Brother replied that there was no other parking spaces available. The following morning, a beer cardboard was placed on the car’s windshield with a big X marked on it. My brother should have checked his car if there was any intentional vandalism on his car.

Couple weeks forward, my mother had to park her car to on the same curb, and right when she was leaving the vehicle and heading towards the house, that homeowner immediately came out with a broom and started sweeping right towards my mother’s car. Outrageous! That man obviously had bad intentions. My mother had to re-park her car further away.

At another time, I parked my car in front of one of another neighbor only to find that the homeowner turned on his lawn sprinkler unit right next to my car! His sprinkler was spraying water unto my wheel’s rotor on the rear right wheel. I reparked my vehicle elsewhere.

It is frustrating to have this type of neighbors that who knows when they will vandalize your private property. I can’t monitor their actions or have time to record video footage of their vandalism.
