property ?

[RACER X]

so we live in a neighborhood that has a baseball diamond and soccer field.

a team as been playing on the diamond and leaving garbage and such and they are not authorized to play. and i don't think any kids actually live in our neighborhood.

recently had a HOA meeting and they are going to put a sign up, "so-n-so residents ONLY"

this past weekend, neighbor noticed the team and called the cops, cop came and told him that it was "public property" and that anybody could come and play as long as there was no gate or lock.

thoughts?

fuck their... mothers?

or start fining them for littering, HOA's love doing shit like that.

or... get the sand out of your vagina and let the kids play ball

thats all fine and dandy till the guys w/ the 4 wheelers roll up and start tearing up the soccer field where "we" just put in a sprinkler system. like they did last weekend.

HOA can't fine a team i don't think, they have no real jurisdiction past the property lines.

have anything to really add?

if it's past the property lines then it's public and you guys should not spend cash to put sprinklers in. second off i thought this was about kids throwing trash on a baseball diamond. if you see the atv's call the cops

its not past the property lines, it's in a neighborhood. but it's not neighborhood kids.......

how do yo verify if the kids are neighborhood kids or league play that found an open field.

You walk up to them and ask them if they live in this neighborhood, if they have a coach, ask the coach.

Also call your HOA president to send out something to the neighborhood about it.

You don't.

If it is public property, it is as much their right to use it as it is yours.

Find out who owns the land.

If it is the neighborhood and the other McMansion owners want to keep the riff raff out, put up a fence, with a lock.

If not, learn to deal with it and quit acting like an 80 year old in a retirement community.

You'd think.

However, when asked who owns it:

it's behind our entrance

Outside property lines?

Not everyone is omniscient.
