Some teenagers broke into a vacant property on my block and were destroying the place. They broke all the windows were running around and smashing holes in the wall. I feel bad because acab but I didn't know what to do. I don't particularly want kids destroying my block and I talked to my neighbor who lived next door and he seemed legit scared about the situation. I don't feel like confronting them would have been safe since it would have been many of them and one of me.

Could I have done something different?

Update I don't even know if the police ended up coming but it quieted down within 10 minutes of my call. A couple cars were broken into and one was stolen.

      I don't think they backed out they were clearly joking about the motivations being property value related

      But... it was always a joke. Do you think I actually thought kids were destroying property to keep rents down? Do you think I think kids care about that? Do you think I think kids would be doing it if it weren't a vacant property? Do I need to label every joke? I'm not sure why you're so angry with me. I hope everything's going okay with you, but I don't think I've caused you harm comrade.
