When we lived in an apartment complex in Albuquerque our next-door neighbor had an abusive boyfriend. John and I pretty much kept to ourselves there, but the apartments were townhouses and our two places shared the staircase thorugh the wall, so the night he pushed her down the steps we could hear it. I called the cops. She had come over before once to escape him when she knew he was coming over...she hid out at our place and pretended she wasn't home till he left, so I figured better safe than sorry. We moved back to Arkansas shortly thereafter so I don't know what happened to her.
Any outdoor confrontation after 10 pm, I also called the cops if it escalated from posturing to an actual fight. I figured, with 100 units in the complex, how would they know who did the calling? And I had to work the next day, dammit, so they needed to quit fighting and shut the hell up already.
