can't take attention to the law anymore so mutt doesn't risk being actually hurt...>< so even if I'd find anything that's considered a real weapon I probably couldn't use it without drawing the wrong kind of attention...x-x
Can you move?

You always have the option of a civil lawsuit, especially if there is a fight. I would certainly keep recording infractions. File against the people AND the police department for not doing anything. Contact the police chief if he's not also a buddy.

We lived in a small town and as outsiders also had some of the same problems. my dog was attacked and the police would not help. The people moved to get away from us because we were hounding them for payment (at least that's what I thought) and no one would tell us where they moved.

we were able to track them down through a neighbor who delivered all the mail. It was illegal, but he gave us their forwarding address. Not everyone in your town is friends with those people - you just have to find them.

Would probably be easier just to move. I don't know how you can stay there under the situation you have now.
