Haha, booz ? Sold behind your house ?
Tell me, do you consume no booz whatsoever ?

Anyway, to get rid of them, you simply rush out with a camera that has a flash, take a pic of them and next evening should be quiet. Repeat offenders ? You print the pic and drop it off a copshop.

Oddly enough I can see how this would work well within the local culture - because it means the alcohol is being delivered straight to the home by a 'known', and presumably trusted, vendor, thus keeping it out of people's faces.

lol, must we wait for others to cause problems so that they can be considered at fault! No I won't leave them alone simply because using a land space that should be empty as what I stated before is not right and I bet illegal too. Do note that they have been there for more that a year. The primary material for a building doesn't require that much time to be consumed. It is very obvious the contractor is using the space as a hub for many other construction activities.

There are a couple of slummy houses behind / next to Arab Weavers on Dohat Al Adab street which houses unskilled labourers.

My maid went to check out the accomadation there and she said she had to literally run away because a semi clad drunk Omani made a beeline for her.

When I asked her how it was possible for an Omani to get access to liquor she said she later found out that a car carrying liquor regularly made the rounds and anybody was free to buy from them.

Needless to say she dropped plans to trying to find a house in the vicinity!

ColOman - It's illegal to sell alcohol in Oman. Why should I stand aside while illegal activities are being conducted in my neighborhood? Should I wait till one of the drunk construction workers actually commits a crime?

Would you be OK with it if it was drugs instead of alcohol so long as they don't harm anyone?

if they ahve not caused you any problems, then leave them alone. Have a talk with them and tell them to keep it down. If they dont call the cops other wise let do their thing as long as dont harm anyone

I am facing an exact and maybe worse problem. The land next to our house which is in the middle of the Suq is a warehouse, dump, truck park, shelter...etc for an un-ethical contractor who has been there for more than a year now. My father called the Municipality and they said they will send someone to investigate and till now nothing. We plan to take photos of the place and go shake the municipality a bit. Maybe, just MAYBE, we get something. At least, I won't bloody sit around and do nothing!!!

Let me know if you need help with that, I love a good stakeout.

I don't hold any hope for the municipality getting the crews to clean up the mess they have left behind. My neighbourhood is a tribute to unethical contractors and an uncaring municipality. Let us know if you succeed, and if so tell us how you did.

LoL @KC
This is something that surprises me too. The role of the police is to investigate on complaints. This is the norm everywhere. So why is it different in Oman ???

With chill getting worse, you can expect the car doing more rounds behind your house.

Good luck on that... In my first neighborhood here...

2009-01-10T18:17:00.000+04:00

Good luck on that... In my first neighborhood here, we had a similar car regularly make the rounds (a very nice elderly Omani gent and his sons), and the biggest takers were our neighbors, all senior or retired police officials...
