Good sensible advise, Kathy
When we bought here a couple of years ago, the first thing we did was to introduce ourselves to all of our neighbors. We knew that we would have to rent out the house for a year before we could move, and we wanted to assure them all that if there were any disruptions whatsoever from out tenents, to please call us so we could take immediate steps to make corrections.
This was one of the smartest things we ever did; although there was never a need, I'm sure that the positive impression we made that day has set the tone for the great relationship we have with them today.
Life is way too short to have a poor relationship with neighbors. Much better to be proactive, humble, and start over with a re-introduction accompanied with a bouquet of flowers or a plate of cookies. Courts and Cops will just make a bad situation worse, IMHO.
