We have a large group of neighbor boys. They each have a large group of friends. The youngest is seven, the oldest just turned 12.
They play a game that means they need to use the whole neighborhood... yards, driveways, the whole thing.
One house is empty, but belonged to our good friend. (the whole block's friend, not just ours) Anyway... these boys use this empty house to play this game. They climb around on the block wall and jump the fence.
There's a pool that's green and gross. The boys tend to throw more junk into the pool. (that doesn't bother me so much)
But, today, there were several kids up on top of the roof. It's a big house, all concrete tile, and the ground is landscaped in rock. There were at least four boys RUNNING across the top of the house, jumping onto the block wall, then jumping back into the backyard and doing it again. They were sortof chasing each other.
I called one of the dads. I didn't see HIS kids up there, but I know the oldest one was up there. It's his kids who think they can do whatever they want to that house, because these parents are trying to help get it sold. So, the kids feel like they have special rights to the house. (they kinda do)
Anyway... I ignore a LOT from these kids. But, climbing on the roof of someone elses house just is not right, not to mention dangerous. If one of the other neighbor kids from another street were to get hurt, they'd sue the homeowner.
