Alright I've got an issue with my neighbor and I'm not quite sure how to go about handling it, so any advice would be appreciated.

First off, I live in a townhouse, so right beside my neighbor. The old lady who lives there is great, but her daughter is another story. (no she's not hot. We'll just clear that up right away). The background on her is that she's a single mom with 3 illegitimate kids to 3 different dads. She's a dropout who never works, she's around 26, and as stated above she lives at home. And naturally she has a lot of deadbeat friends who come over to hang out when her mom isn't home. She also smokes a shit load of pot, which isn't all bad, except she smokes it at 7am when I'm heading out the door for work.

Alright now for the good stuff.

She frequently will stop by after my wife gets home to ask her to borrow kitchen items, salt or suger, but sometimes more expensive things like cans of pasta sauce. Really? My wife has stopped answering the door. I mean you get 1 or 2 borrows every so often, but this is a weekly thing now. She also will occassionally ask for rides to the courthouse or some such place.

But wait it gets better.

Two weeks ago she knocked on the door. I was in my boxers so I didn't answer, but then an hour later my wife and I are leaving to go get some dinner, and she confronts us in the driveway asking if she could borrow $12. Really? I got panhandled in my driveway! We inquire as to what for, and she supposedly has a swollen node in her boob or something, I don't know. Anyway, we ask where her mom is. She explains that her mom is at an Orlando Magic game, to which I replied, "Oh, so she'll be home in a couple of hours," and the girl sort of dropped it at that, after I finally said we didn't have any cash on us.

But wait, it gets even better.

This week, as I was leaving for work, I was relieved that there was no pot smoke, as she was walking one of her kids presumably to the bus stop. But no! She was actually walking him to school, which I know to be over 2 miles away. She stops me and asks if I can give the kid a ride to school!! Really? Now she doesn't know me. I could be a former child rapist for all she knows. And we're not friends with her, so why would she ask such a personal favor? She's a deadbeat. I just don't care to associate with her.

But wait, it might get ever better than that.

Three weeks ago we apparently left our car unlocked, and somebody had simply opened the door and taken our portable GPS device along with a few dollars in coins. Really? Now I don't really know that I blame her or her loser friends for this, but then this week after we had installed a motion detecting front porch light, we noticed one of her friends, smoking at the corner of our house, lean over and take a long look in our car. When the light came on, he complained about how bright it was. It's not that bright, and we made the effort to turn the light downward so they didn't hit the street. It's a normal light, but regardless, I'm highly suspicious now.

So the question is, what in the hell do I do about this? Do I confront her next time and tell her to leave me the hell alone? Do I confront her and tell her she's an idiot? Do I tell her mom behind her back, because her mom actually seems pretty nice and I think she might listen to me on this? Do I call the police about the car issue and have them figerprint her and her friends? Do I keep ignoring her, which is the current plan?

What would you do in this situation? It's not the absolute worst situation in the world, but it's a little unsettling at times. What do you think?
