A little detail before I go on: My boyfriend and I recently relocated to Colorado together, and moved into the "basement" of a house on Jan. 4th. We haven't experienced anything bad other than yesterday; We get along with our upstairs neighbor just fine, but we live right across from a house that has a bunch of hispanics that live there. I don't think we live in the ghetto to be exact, we live near a really urban area that is located a few blocks from Broadway and Santa fe.
Anyway: yesterday, my bf, myself, and our friend were out most of the morning and came home in the afternoon. We hung out at our place, came outside to our car (to drop off our friend) and saw a some cholo's (no offense, but literally. tats, etc) smoking and staring at us ***. We drove off and hung out at our friend's house, came back, and saw that there was trash dumped onto the front our house's yard and the (locked) bikes were knocked down. Uhhhh, cute and mature, right?
I live at the bottom of the house; You have to go through the front yard, turn corner, and go downstairs... So, the yard isn't necessarily ours, but it's our upstair's neighbor's I guess? Either way, it really bugged me that GROWN MEN thought it was hilarious to dump their trash and to knock over the bikes (which isn't ours, by the way) that were locked and attached to the fence.... I called up our upstairs neighbor and told them about it since they were out.
I'm sure it was them because I saw an open amazon package with an address on it-- It was theirs'.
So, if this happens again, what should my boyfriend and I do? I was thinking about just being friendly to them/say hi if I ever encounter them outside before I go out... And if it happens again, my boyfriend and I will just clean it again with gloves and ignore it :/. I don't want to confront them either about it.
I'd like to think that they were drunk or something...
***I can't help but feel that it was a subliminal message that they don't like us; My boyfriend and his friend are both caucasian and I'm asian.
