Well its my first week in the neighborhood and I've already had to call the police. There was a teenager (16-19yo) on a silver mountain bike hanging out in front of my house (backside of the high school) talking on a cell phone. My neighbor let his dog off leash to play with my dog. The kid got on his bike and my neighbor's dog went to follow him. At that point the kid stopped and started kicking
