My neighbours partner was abusive, and into meth.

Verbal abuse towards his partner constantly, I had to offer my household as a safe refuge for her and her children any time it was happening. 24 hours a day she could come over. I had her family's phone numbers.

It started to ramp up into physical violence, one day there was a what I thought was a gunshot and had to make that split second decision to put it all on the line to be a good person and try to do something.... or hide while I watch my neighbour get shot 20 feet from me..

Turned out he had just thrown a fist size rock at her head from a story up while she was in the car with her kids and it was the air bags popping as it missed her head and hit the dashboard... horn blazing, unhooked the battery, police turned up, I drew a map of the internal layout of their house so they could breach it because I was growing a shitload of cannabis at the time and there were 8 police officers standing outside my house, one had a gun, police officers don't carry here, they are locked in the boot.

Anyway, they broke up, protection orders, she was very broke so I just traded her baking for weed for ages, she was such a good cook and so hot and loved smoking weed that I had really try to not fall in love with her, that didn't work, but I never pursued it because I was a criminal and that isn't very good for a relationship.

Worst dude neighbour. Best girl neighbour.

Fucking neighbours.
