You certainly should. Maybe they forgot their impeccable manners due to being drunk

No excuse IMO, I got drunk a lot in my earlier years, but never got violent or damages anyone else's property.
I sometimes wonder if people will make up excuses to get people off the hook?

I am not making up excuses for their behaviour, I don't know them - for all I know they could be little d/1ckheads but I also do have it in perspective that it isn't crime of the century nor the worst thing a drunk person has done in the history of the world.

I think, it is far more healthy for the mind, to see the good in people & give them the benefit of the doubt. That's all.

True, but I think that the youngsters (young adults) are treating this place like their penthouse, where they can do what they want, and not worry about the consequences.
I remember about thirty years ago, when I along with two other mates were invited up to a flat in Hampstead, which another mate was looking after - we were all on our best behaviour, no question that we were going to be "leary".
We had a great time, and just tried to fit in with the "vibe", chilling out and enjoying the surroundings.

Well, I have never been violent my entire life, and went through intense bullying at school, so what I said was to reassure folks on here that I would remain calm (even if I feel the need to vent my anger on a keyboard).
I do feel however, that certain people look on older, more chilled out folks such as myself (and of course my wife) as "easy touches", people who they can take advantage of, people who are a little "soft", who will not say "boo to a goose", and will let others take advantage.
Well, that will not happen in this case.

:rotfl:'More chilled out like yourself' blimey me and you really do have different perceptions of the meaning of 'chilled out'.
Also stop calling them 'offsprings' that itself seems to be used in a derogatory manner in your use of the word.
Just because the parents don't trust the adult children to fill up the bird feeder doesn't mean diddly squat they just most probably know that a bird feeder is not high on the list of priorities for these kids...they would most probably manage not to starve the family dog while the parents were away if they had one.
I really can't believe you had to come onto a public forum to release your anger while feeling the need to insult other posters to such a degree and display your potty mouth over a half eaten subway roll thrown in your garden by someone who was having a good time and who would most probably apologise if given the chance especially if they knew they were the cause of a near volcanic eruption of your blood pressure.
You may think your a good neighbour but you give the impression of being a grumpy, moany Victor Meldrew type of person who needs a hobby to relieve the pressure of everyday life....Let it go, you have mentioned it to the son now and i really don't think it warrants a mention to the parents on their return...:)

The kids use of their parents property is no business of yours...
.
You keep saying how good you and your mates were when you were younger.....Really? I bet there were times you were not the perfect pillars of the community as you believe you were,
These kids and friends sound like they too were having a great time chilling out enjoying the vibe and the surrondings. They did'nt attack you, rob your house, smash up your car or pinch your teddy....they threw a blinkin half eaten subway roll into your garden..sounds like you would of done well to of gone over to join them and chilled out...maybe thats an idea for next time they decide to be engage in such disgraceful, rebellious criminal activity involving a piece of baked dough!

Or they never had them in the first place. I personally have never felt the urge to damage or mess up someone else's property or possessions whilst drunk.

i wonder how many drinks you have spilt on someones floor or over a piece or clothing etc whilst drunk?
These kids didn't mess up anyones property or cause any damage, they threw a half eaten bread roll into a garden...now there could of been 3 options to deal with the offending baked product....
1: Bend, pick-up and place in the bin.
2: Bend, pick-up and place on the compost.
3: Don't endanger themselves and leave on the ground for the birds to enjoy, just the same as they would if stale bread or a burnt piece of toast had been thrown out for them to enjoy.

Maybe the potential gangland leader was repaying the OP's kind filling up of the bird house/table on a previous occasion the parents were brave enough to leave their 'wild delinquints'
......maybe he could do with a little instruction in the art of perfect birdfeedary.

Quite possibly. Although it's more likely to have been on my own floor as I try and be extra careful at other people's houses as I know how clumsy I can be.

But that is called an accident. I didn't intentionally go out of my way to do it. Big difference. Was it an accident that the sub roll flew out of their hands and into next doors garden? I very much doubt it.

But I do agree, it does seem to be an over reaction. If it happened once I would let it go. If it happened again then I would go and say something.

I think you are actually very fortunate. These lads don't live next door to you. They were in the house whilst the parents were on holiday. Its not going to be a regular occurrence and you have the benefit of knowing there's an end to the saga. If the house is being treated as a penthouse and is a mess when the parents return I doubt they will be given the run of the place when they go on the next holiday.
Lots of us have to put up with much worse from neighbours day in day out and with no respite.
Count your blessings it was bread that will do little damage, round here its beer bottles.

You'll be much happier if you just toss it back and have a light, friendly word with your neighbours the next time you see them.

What good is stewing in this rage doing to you? It can't be healthy. Do you work or are you retired? It seems like you've got a lot of time on your hands to fill. Have you thought about volunteering or getting a hobby to keep your mind off things like this?
