    I agree with Ians, go upwind of the offending party and release a few cans of mace to float down into their property.

    Funny how the LAW protects these people? It just pisses me off… But a funny thing happened every-time they shot something off a mysterious flying object crashed through one of their windows.

    The person shooting the fireworks walked up and down the street and was very upset accusing people left and right that they were responsible.

    Now it is complete mystery as I am too far away to actually see anything as it was night and pitch black but apparently someone somewhere did something… I wouldn’t know who this person is or what he/she/they did but I am sure glad the fireworks stopped.

    We had a pet who suffered heart palpitations when he heard fireworks, in 2010 his heart stopped three times during the Diwali week, I became quite good at getting a heart started on a dog. Since then the "Noisy Neighbours" have moved and the dog had to be put down in 2011 (unrelated cancer).

    Point is, I know how this dog suffered, and I don't condone ANY form of noise, after all, I bought my home so that I can have a quiet place to unwind after a day at the office, unfortunately most of my neighbours seem to have bought their property for parties and firework forums. I have always been of the opinion, if you have to have a party, hire a hall, if you want fireworks, F-off to China!

    I'm not talking about a casual braai, where the booze gets you a bit loud, it's about those parties that have 30+ guests and go until 6 A.M. without any consideration to other neighbours. Fireworks, however, do not belong, anywhere, anytime, anyhow, using them is the same as declaring all-out WAR!, and some of the bangs sound like cannon fire too.

    Sorry for my ranting, I've watched way too many animals suffer...

    I have very considerate neighbours. When they do have a party, we get invited as well (so we can't complain) but it never goes with fireworks or boom boom taxi sounds (that's not music).

    Have you been around these parts at at all, tec0? I am sure there are some neighbourhoods that will hire you...

    I had a neighbour who did the same thing. we even had a rocket that didnt take off properly land and explode in our yard.
    That was the last straw.
    If they had absolutely no consideration for my family and pets I had none for them.

    I took an ordinary plastic shopping bag, filled a condom with about a litre of water and placed this in the shopping bag.
    I lined up about five of these.
    When the festivities were at there height I walked outside grabbed a packet and slung it as high up into the air above the house.
    When they land on the roof, patio, cement or pool they make and almighty splash followed by a spray of water.
    They cannot be identified and if you are really crafty your neighbour hasn't a clue where they came from and the bonus is he has to pick it up.
    Just keep at it.

    And they can't see from which direction the bag came? Amazing!

    I don’t do anything at all... Our mystery problem solver however... You wouldn’t believe half the things that happen. All I can say is our mystery problem solver is a crafty bugger. I remember a loud neighbour 4 houses down running up and down the steed screaming. His eyes were swollen and his clothing where ripped apart. Apparently while firing his loud fireworks someone “zapped” him with massive quantities of pepper spray or something along those lines. I wouldn’t know...

    Another urban-legend was that a party was interrupted by large quantities of teargas! Now if that is true or not is beyond me BUT there are a few stories like that walking around. Whoever this person is he/she and or it... must have access to some really cool stuff...
