Crazy neighbor girl - Scary

On Saturday afternoon, our neighbor's daughter (17) knocked on our door and said they were having a birthday party that night and told James if it got too loud to just let them know and they would keep it down. (We live in a condo.) We thought this was pretty considerate and agreed.
The party started that night with just some music and laughter. A couple people were outside in the back, but they weren't being loud. No problem.
Around 2pm, I hear people outside our window (ground floor). It turns into yelling, fighting, swearing, banging against our outside wall, etc. I hear the daughter come out and yell at everyone to get back in the house. A few minutes later, they come flying out their door again, banging into our door, screaming, "Where my money <insert N word>"? over and over. Banging, yelling, fighting. I was SO SCARED. We live in a bad area. Our complex is nice, but the area around it is not - a lot of drugs and probably gangs with all the grafiti we see. I just felt like you never know if one of those kids has a gun and is going to start shooting. My son is right on the other side of where all this is happening. James got out the shotgun and loaded it and was walking around (inside our condo) checking things out.
We didn't call, but soon the police showed up - a lot of them. We hear one of the kids yell, "Cops" and go flying back into our neighbor's place. The kids ran and scattered out the back mostly. At least two of the kids were arrested, one apparently had a warrant out for their arrest. The neighbor girl was really drunk and was smarting off to the police the whole time. I couldn't believe how disrespectful she was.
When she came to us that afternoon and said she was having a birthday party, it never occurred to us that her parents were out of town. It was scary to me. (Thank goodness Tillman slept right through it all.)
Yesterday, we saw the dad (the parents are very nice) and he apologized for what happened and told us that she is not welcome to live there anymore. I know they have dealt with a lot with her and apparently this was the last straw. He said that he had a lot of stuff stolen, too. He gave us his cell phone number and said that if we ever see her to please give him a call.
Aw, I wish we could move. This is a good lesson to not buy a house in an area that you aren't sure of. Yes, our complex is nice, but the surrounding areas are not.

wow that is scary!
What's scarier is that now this 17 year old girl is kicked out and on the streets? Probably getting into more trouble staying with some no-good friends... THat's sad.
I don't want her to live next to me, and I feel bad that her parents are having to go through this, but I do agree that her being on the streets is probably going to be worse for her. I think her parents are really nice, but if that was me, my mom would have moved me away from all the bad friends I had and kept me next to her constantly if she had to. Kicking her out is almost like giving up on her. She's still a child. (Also makes me wonder how she was raised. Like I said, her parents are nice, but that doesn't mean they always have been good parents.)

Federal Way. There are some nice areas of Federal Way and some really NOT nice areas. Unfortuantely, we are in one of the not nice areas.

We are close to Pac Hwy, too, and I think that mostly leads to shadier neighborhoods.
I'd love to move, but I don't think we could get out of our condo right now without having to bring several thousand to the closing table. We have only been here two years, so we are mostly just paying interest still on the loan.

Ha I sort of have to chuckle a little because everytime we were throwing a party when someones parents weren't home we would do exactly like she did and tell all the neighbors to just let us know if it was loud in hopes that would prevent the cops from being called!
I'm sorry that happened though! I would have been really upset too with Tillman on the other side of the wall!
The noise didn't bother us. I wouldn't have thought anything of it. It was the yelling and obvious fighting.
The dad told us that he found blood on the walls in his house. It was a serious fight, I think.
