A few years ago, I had problems with a neighbor in my apartment building that would constantly blast her music at all hours of the day and night whenever she was on a binger (she was a drugged out club kid). The police were useless and would only show up one time out of ten when noise complaints were called in, and never really did anything about it because she would always be sure to answer the door in something low cut and skimpy. It got to the point where a few other neighbors and I did a little legal research and were able to draft a letter to the landlord requesting her eviction. After a few stressful months, we were finally able to get her removed. About a year later a new neighbor started blasting their stereo one Sunday morning for about an hour. Instantly, all that anxiety and frustration came flooding back to me - oh boy here we go again. Every week at the same time she would do the same thing and I was livid. I spoke to some of my other neighbors from the problem before and they talked some sense into me. She only did it once a week for an hour while cleaning her apartment. She was in all other respects a model neighbor and a very nice person to boot. In short, I had been projecting the previous difficult situation on to an entirely different one. I'm glad I took a step back because I have since become friends with her and recently she hooked me up with a contact for some paying consulting work. So please, talk to your new neighbors first. Also, be 100% sure it was their cats that were responsible (are you assuming they did it on your past experience, did you see the cats actually tear apart the garbage, or were they just curious about what some other wild animal had uncovered? My parents live in the country now and I know they have problems with raccoons and other such things). I hope this all works out for you. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
