Someone might have been beaten senseless, or worse, and the police weren't there to help because some dumb **** called the cops over a damn fire pit. :|
the cops thought it was really funny they just said "this is the huge bonfire" ha ha ha...they were really nice about it and just said not to let this riun our "good neighbor" status. She's old, sick, whatever else bs she told them...
I was told before an open fire is ok as long as you are doing something with it - ie roasting marshmallows or hot dogs. I looked for Chicago, and did not find any laws against open firepits - and the cops didn't say anything.
We have a lady like that in our neighborhood too. Wonder if it's the same lady? 
She called the cops on my friends and I because we were outside playing baseball with plastic bats and whiffle balls. Thought we were dangerous. She used to call the cops on my friends a lot, but I guess her old age has slowed her down.

She likes to call the cops on the kids across teh street when they are playing on the sidewalk (while their parents are sitting on their stairs). Then she tries to convince us to call too because they are "too loud". We have our windows open all the time and they don't bother us. THey are normal kids playing outside in the summer...she gets mad because we never call the cops (because there is no reason to).
Cobalt you live in Chicago? It sure sound like the same crotchety old lady!
The easy solution to this is to call one of those singing telegram places and have different guys show up at her house every day for a week. One day a gorilla, the next a fireman, then a pirate, of course a ninja, on and on and on. Sure it will cost you some $$$ but eventually the hag will drop dead of a heart attack. That or you can go plant some hippie lettuce in her flower gardens then call the cops and report her for cultivating pot.

My dad was sued 4-6 times at his last house. Some little old lady from florida moved in. She sued my dad for a fence (on his property and lega), him building a deck and him useing the easment between the property, For throwing snow into her walk/drive with his snowblower when he did the sidewalk off.
Finally my dad did some investagation into her. Find out in florida she filled over 300 small claim cases.
My dad eventually sold the house, it was just to big for him and his wife. Not to mention the yard was huge and he couldnt mow it every week.
It actually scared me when i baught my first house. I hope i do not get a nutcase next to me heh.

I don't know if this still works in 2005, but "Once upon a time" the solution to this kind of problem was to invite the immediate neighbors to the party.
The world is alot more complicated now, but even if it doesn't work, you might find out what the real problem is.

Sounds like it's time for a flaming bag of dog pooh on their front step, with a doorbell ring and run!! :laugh:
i attempted to do that to a neighbor once while cooking marshmallows... unfortunately it landed on the grass and their stupid dog sat on the marshmallow... he then ran around the yard in circles trying to get the marshmallow off
