Apparently, my pool belongs to the whole neighborhood.
I bought my house in 2009, not long after the crash, so I got a damn good deal. That left me with enough left over cash to build a couple expansions and put a pool in.
The majority of my neighbors are low income folks, as would be expected in an area where the best job you can get is at the Amazon warehouse. I love the majority of my neighbors. They're great people.
But we recently had a family move in 3 houses down from us, and they are straight up trash. They have 3 broken down cars in their front yard that the dad is "working on". They blast music on their outdoor speakers at midnight. They leave trash (beer cans, pizza boxes, cigar wrappers) in the woods behind my house, just past my property line.
I got woken up this morning by a notification that there was movement in my back yard. I checked my camera, and there were six kids that I did not recognize, swimming in my pool. Playing games, dunking on my basketball hoop (yes, they damaged it).
I called the police non-emergency number. The cops showed up and took the kids home. They were too young to charge.
About an hour later, I had loud knocks on my door. It was the mom who just moved in. She told me that I shouldn't have a pool if I didn't want everyone who sees it to jump in. She told me that "not everyone can afford a pool", so I need to share.
Like, if I knew her and her kids, if we were friends, I would probably be ok with them swimming. But some random kid swimming in my pool is a legal liability for me.
