“YWBTA if I called the city on this couple?” … You fear they might do something to your home? And then you make sure to antagonize them and destroy any good will. NOT THAT well thought out. What do you expect the city to do? Not YOUR property, you get no vote. And not on public propertyx either. Not being a public disturbance. They MIGHT tell them to leave. (or not.) That will keep them away for a night at most. You are an AH for profiling. “
