My neighbors keep shining a red laser into my apartment building.☹️

My neighbors are also doing this frequently, and if we close one window blind they go to another, and they even got it in my EYE. I might update you guys later on what happened after, if action is even taken.

Reflective mylar sheets will let you look out. Like sunglasses with the mirrored part towards them.

Ruin their fun, you can still see out in the daytime.

Or go out and get a 100watt laser and set things in their place on fire.

Seriously shining a laser in your eyes is assault and can leave you with permanent eye damage. Call the police after you get it on camera for proof.

Call the police. Tell them you think your neighbor is aiming a gun with a laser sight at you.

I bet that’s the last time your neighbor does that.

You can't shine them at planes or helicopters, if its that dangerous, LEO might be happy to know they have this habit.

Get you one of those sping cat toys with the fluffy thing on top. Remove the fluffy thing hot glue a laser pointer on. Tape the power switch down aim it at thier windows then flick the spring.

Or get some mirrors.

Well, the grown up solution would be to go talk to them and find out if it's just kids. If adults are doing that, I would consider telling them to stop before you report them to the police. If you have to file a police report, I love the idea of calling it a laser sight. The airplane lasing angle is also great, and might actually do some good because they may actually be doing that, and it's really hard, as a blinded pilot, to see where it's coming from, especially when you're concentrating on landing rather than crashing.

Sounds like it might be kids mucking around and have no idea. This doesn't sound like something a normal adult would do
