Neighbor kids keep hitting my car with a ball, not damaging the car, but enough to cause stress. What are my options aside from telling them to stop (they don't)?
Location: Utah
So I live in a townhouse that has 4 homes in one building - side by side. We each have a dedicated driveway that fits 2 cars side by side. We also each have a garage. I drive a truck with crossbars so it does not fit in the garage - so I park in my driveway. The neighbor kids play tennis, lacrosse, baseball, basketball in the shared driving portion, which sort of connects all of our individual driveways. Two weeks ago, the window of my truck was shattered. I cannot prove it was the kids, but I asked them. They denied it. I have no footage, though I did file a police report and canvassed the neighborhood (unsuccessfully) for potential camera footage of the incident. Anyway, I let it die and paid for a new window out of pocket. Since then, I have installed a camera and have recordings of the neighbor kids hitting my car 3 separate times with a ball (football once and tennis ball 2x). They are nice kids, but I have asked them repeatedly to stop - and recently sternly told them to stop hitting my truck. This resulted in a verbal altercation with their parents, who say its a repeated accident and I shouldn't talk to their children that way and now their kids are "scared to death to play outside." I want to know what recourse I have, if any, if they keep hitting my truck. The recorded incidents arent hard enough to leave a dent in the truck, but I just want them to stop hitting my truck. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you!
