Depending on the area I doubt much besides some flat tires, maybe an egg thrown, some vandalism and some words said will be done. If the drug use is continuing the last thing they want is the cops there again.

Now that the police know about the house there's a high probability that the kids will find a new one. The police are probably watching that house now.

What's sad is the police didn't really do anything. I'm surprised Children's services did not get involved, in that the guy doesn't like his girlfriend's kids so is renting them a house while in Europe. If they aren't of age that should be seen as child abuse, if they are of age then they should be charged with something.

I know Ohio used to have a law that if you were a landlord and this type of thing happened, your property would be confiscated. It was made to prevent absentee landlords and slum lords from having dope houses.

If this continues it will lower the value of the properties in the area. One of the problems that allows for drug houses and meth labs in decent neighborhoods is the fact the neighbors are too scared to say anything. Well, if you have a bunch of stoned kids in the area, crime is going to go up, anyway. You got vandalism, breakins and so on because the kids need the money to buy. Neighbors need to be more vigilant, your home is the most expensive thing you will ever own so you need to protect the value. Allowing this to happen does not protect the value, it only lowers it.

Might I suggest a neighborhood crime watch and take your neighborhood back before it is too late.
