Kiteboy is on it. Keep a log of noise times and police calls and call the cops every 15 mins, give them the sh!ts. Get their surrounding neighbours involved, more than one call and the coppers can't ignore it. As soon as the noise starts, send a txt to all the neighbours asking them to make a noise complaint. Coppers can't lock 'em up but they can impound the stezza. Your main avenue of revenge will be the local council, once you and your neighbours have submitted a log of noise complaints the offenders get a max of three warnings or something before a fine of up to 60k. If it's a rental, you'll have new tenants quick smart and if it's owner occupied they'll learn to STFU in no time.
Went through it with the crackwhore next door about 12 months ago, once she realised that she was going to lose her house that she worked so hard to f%ck her ex over for, she learned to be a good neighbour.
We had a similar problem in our street, a private rental (no agents involved) and an owner who didn't care what was going on. We eventually got rid of them (took nearly a year) after we got together as a group of about 25 neighbours and with a lot of help from the local police. (they started visiting the owner at his business during the day and he was getting sick of the cops turning up every 5 minutes when he was trying to fix cars). Here in Qld if the owner or agent doesn't want to do anything there is basicly nothing that can be done. The council has no laws and is useless as tits on a bull.
Which is why I am interested in your post re the large fine after 3 strikes. Is that across the board in WA or just individual councils. Any idea where I can find more info. The rental authority here has 3 strikes and out rule for tennants but the owner or agent must instigate things. If the ferrals happended to own the property there would be nothing that we could do legally.
