Bring over some ziplock bags full of corn sugar, DME, whole hops and clear rock Belgian candi sugar. Offer to sell them some.

SittingDuck said:Right, so then you can blare the music and brew nekkid. In fact, you need to start faking some cult ceremony at least once a month.
I like the idea of inviting the police over when you're brewing. Get the grill out, throw some burgers on it, and tell the dispatcher that if any on duty officer wants to stop by for a free burger, they can do so. When your neighbor sees the steady flow of cops, they'll think you're selling drugs to the cops.
Sounds like they broke at least two laws by invading your privacy and then spreading false and malicious rumors.
Here's what I dont understand... I live in NYC, and have worked in just about every part of Manhattan. I know what most drugs look like, and what many of them smell like.
Even with that said, if I knew absolutely nothing about what brewers do and I noticed that the nextdoor neighbor had a large kettle on his stove or going in his garage I wouldnt think "meth lab" Id think "Crab boil?" or "frying a turkey where its safe?"
I think there is still hope for me now that I know that someone who has not been living in NYC for 10 years is considerably more paranoid than I am.

Well, I tried talking to them today and the guy just ignored me and went inside. I had the opportunity to talk to the local PD. The officer laughed and said. Yup you in fact have some nosy neighbors. They call the PD at least once a week about suspicious activity. Guess I'm stuck
Invite them for a homebrew, explain what you're doing and they'll change from suspicious to groupies.
This is a good idea, if you actually liked PO. Personally I can't stand any of the PO I have ever met let alone the ones in my town so I would go to war with the neighbors.
...
oops, (i am afrikaans speaking) "jy" means "you" but its a typo anyway
I'd start brewing while wearing a gas mask, Breaking Bad style
No invasion of privacy if they can see what you're doing outdoors. Even if they rented a helicopter and watched you from the sky.
Which would you rather have? Cops that come over and ask you what you're doing? Or cops that come over for free burgers, and shoot the **** while you brew? I'd rather have the latter. Get on the cops good side, and if you ever need them, they'll do everything they can to help. Get on their bad side, and they'll be looking for you to F up.
I'm wondering if the reason you've never met a cop you like is because you gave them a reason to not like you. Cops are people too, and first impressions always leave a mark. You give them an attitude, and they'll remember that the next time they meet you. You invite them over for lunch, and they'll remember that too.

So, one is expected to essentially buy good service from cops? I thought our tax dollars already did that. I'll be personable with officers in social situations. But, when they're on the clock, I shouldn't have to feel like I need to suck up to them to not be hassled for doing something legal.
