My uppity neighbors filed a noise complaint at 730 on a Sunday evening during my daughter's fifth birthday party because they heard my dog barking at another dog. They tried to call anonymously but guess what? The cops have caller ID. They then pretended it wasn't them when the squad car pulled up. When confronted after the officer left (in a totally reasonable manner) they called again and said they felt threatened! Think the neighbors from Christmas vacation. Margot and Todd. They are in their early thirties. Wtf! They need to move.

That sucks, what part of IL?

 

My neighbors called the police because I fed their dog while they were gone on vacation. Their (30+ yr old) son was home the entire time & had his permission to do so. It was an older Rotweiler that I am assuming the asshats wanted to die while they were gone for two weeks. Regardless, squad car was here & a bunch of no trespassing signs went up. The insane part is we had been neighbors for 18 years & I politely listened to his long winded bs stories for years to well, be neighborly. Decided after that night, an a-hole gets treated as one from the start. Good graces accomplish nothing these days.

That's the absolute worst type of neighbor to have, a cop caller. I mean calling and complaining for every little thing you ever do. Trust me, the officers and the dispatchers will get tired of the nonsense after a while and they will be told to stop calling. After that if they continue calling for nonsense, they can be cited themselves. Hang in there and don't get yourself in trouble, things will work out. They can try to file whatever type of complaint they want. As long as you are not extremely loud after the local curfew, there is absolutely nothing that can be done.

Crazy!! What goes around comes around.

 

I had a party once and the neighbor just came over and said, well if I can't sleep might as well join in!! The other neighbors were already there. Free drinks for all. LOL!!!!!!

 

He moved to Cali a few years ago. Fun cat!!

What's the noise ordinance in your area? In mine, 7:30pm on a Sunday night is out of the ordinance.

 

I have one neighbor (to my right) who called the police because my cars were loud. An officer came to the door and, while chuckling, explained it to my wife and asked if any of the cars had non functioning exhaust system. The E36 M3 had Borla, the C5 Z06 had Magnaflow, the Impreza Outback and the S13 240SX were stock.

 

I was pissed enough that I told my friends (with modified cars) who come to visit EVERYTIME to rev their engines to *at least 5000 rpm* while in the subdivision. One guy with an FC revved his beyond his tach, he predicted somewhere between 8000 & 9000 rpm, in 1st gear. The neighbor across from me is the opposite, he said that if it's not a big block V8 with open headers, it's not loud.

Only time I ever called the police was about 5 days after the neighbors house was built and a contractor abandoned his $500~ car in front of my house(called after 5 days). Not worth fixing I guess. A few weeks later is disappeared, never found out who had it hauled off.

 

They did nothing when I called(it wasnt even legally parked!), so I jacked the front up (fwd) and tried rolling it back from in front of my house to in front of neighbors house. It fell off the jack. :lol:. Not sure if I did any damage or not, didnt look like it. At least I got it off the curb!

I'm a paramedic/firefighter in town so of course when the officer rolled up it's a guy I've known for 13 years and have been on countless calls with. Ha-ha. Arlington Heights. North west of Chicago.

It sucks to have a bad relationship with a neighbor. I used to have a problem with one. I have great neighbors all the way around now. Try to fix it. Letting it escalate is what crime TV shows are made of.

This is where I would start. If there is no governing ordinance, there's nothing they can do unless you're being unreasonably loud and unruly. Continue to make noise and such to get them to call and complain. Then, file a harassment grievance against them for constantly sending the cops to your house without merit. Their complaints wouldn't hold up in court while yours would. And they could actually end up getting a suit filed against them by the police department for filing false reports.

Really want to piss 'em off? Try one of these. For some odd reason it seems to work even better at 3 in the morning.

Keep the ideas coming. :fart:

 

I read all sorts of things when I went through my deal. But the last story I read was where two neighbors spent roughly $110,000 in legal fees fines etc one upping on another over their dispute.

 

To the op. Would expect Margot & Todd in Chicago area(perfect reference btw) I live in a small town in central IL. that is primarily live & let live. Would have never dreamed he would have crossed the line

of calling the Police vs talking to me about feeding his dog. I hate the whole family now for sure, but not worth court issues.

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.
