My dad's neighbors started raising ducks in their back yard. No big deal, except they did not keep it clean. It smelled horrible from duck crap. It is illegal to keep livestock in the city, so I called code enforcement. They said they no one answered the door, and they can't see the ducks in the back yard. I figured the neighbors must have had a friend in code enforcement.
I was trying to sell the property, and I did not want stinky neighbors to kill a sale. So I called a friend that is a cop. He told me to call a young eager code enforcement guy directly. I had him over to dad's house and had him stand on the back porch and enjoy the aroma. He could see into the neighbors back yard from the back porch. He wrote up a ticket for them, and stuck it on their front door. It still took several months to get them to clean up the stink, and I have no idea and don't care what happened to the ducks. They were gone and I sold the house with no issues.

Those same neighbors did not pay their electric bill and the power company shut them off. They asked dad it they could plug into one outlet to run the refrigerator for a few days until they got the power back on. One night he looked over to their house and saw a lot of lights on and the electrical cord was warm. He unplugged it and cut them off as well. They ended up buying a Honda generator, and of course gasoline to run it. They ran that generator for months. Smart economics there. I bet the the generator cost way more than the electric bill payoff.
