At least there were no helicopters and flashing lights.....
Thankfully the place where I have lived for the past 10+ years is much quieter!

It's usually a fairly quiet neighbourhood my friends live in. Though last week, at 1.30am (the same time the cash machine was blown up but days earlier). A neighbour played rock music very loudly. Just one song, and then it was quiet.
I live in the city center, so I'm used to noise, even if we sleep at the back. The only three quiet nights are on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and on January 1st after 5am (not really a night, but the quiet lasts until the early afternoon so I count it as a full night).
A couple of years ago I was watching a film in bed, and around 11pm there was a loud bang. It turns out that criminals blew up the window of a shoe store, which sells very expensive sneakers, to steal them. Mind you, we've heard from neighbours and shop owners that that store attracts some very shady youngsters. They park their very expensive cars in front of the store, it's a pedestrianized street, and the police won't even give them tickets. Which says enough.
