Today, I'm lying awake at 2 in the morning listening to the police helicopter circle my house yet again. I recently moved near quiet woodland to escape the traffic noise that disturbed my sleep. Quiet woodland where apparently the local criminals play midnight hide-and-seek with the police. FML

I'm such a bad sleeper, earplugs and double glazing make little difference. As for finding a new home, I bought this place last year and spent many months renovating it, so the idea of selling up right now after all that is not top of my list. A lot of my neighbours have lived here since the houses were built in the early 1960s, so surely it can't be all that bad?! Although, I hadn't even considered the thought of the forest lurkers breaking in, so thanks for that...

You should really consider moving again. It only takes a few minutes for 'criminals in the woodlands' to become 'criminals in your house'.

I feel like the real estate agent "forgot" to tell you that. Perhaps the woodland wolves will take care of that for you OP!

ha near my house there is a air port , a rail road track , and my neighbors used to run a old folks home (there were lots of ambulances ). so a helicopter doesn't sound so bad to me but I would keep a gun handy just in case one of the people they're looking for trys to break into your house

My old neighbor had a prescription for medicinal marijuana (we live in Texas so it's rare) he decided it cost too much and grew a bunch of 10ft tall marijuana plants, a few months later the DEA found out and surrounded his house witch helicopters, cops, etc.

My advice: get a really alert dog. Or two. And have more than one gun. Also if consider having an alarm system just to be extra safe.

We don't have guns in the UK, hope we never do.

Living out in the country/with woodland is no different. There's usually still helicopters circling everyday for like a week searching for missing people and pot fields. Ah Kentucky. :/
