How to keep it
- Write it down the same day. A note made at the time is far more convincing than a summary written weeks later.
- Record facts. Date, start time, end time, what you observed, where you were when you observed it.
- Note the effect. Woke the household, could not use the patio, had to close windows.
- Link it to proof. Write the file name of the photo or recording, or the report number if you called an agency.
- Do not skip the quiet days. A log that shows when it did not happen is more credible.
