They picked a week when Rita was also away on vacation. Rita is the Block Watch™ captain and local busybody¹.
They 15-year-old boy had friends over. (Duh.) They loudly played music (duh), including one song regularly repeated throughout the evening, always at a volume so high it vibrated the windows of nearby houses.
Finally, at 1:30am there was public yelling. We don't know who it was that broke and marched over there to read them the riot act, but we heard it. We ALL heard it. Because none of us were asleep yet.
¹ Busybody. A person who meddles or pries into the affairs of others.
