There were loud fights.
Neighbors reported stolen tools from their sheds.
As many as 75 vehicles traveled down the dead-end street on any given evening.
And about a week ago, a resident found that the battery and its cables had been stolen from his lawnmower when he went to cut the grass, parts that can be used as part of a meth-cooking apparatus.
