<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I just moved into a new apartment (yay!). I'm running into trouble with the neighborhood kids. It's summer vacation so they are all playing in the street which is great. There are probably like 30 kids in this neighborhood and they are all friends and play together all day (brings back fond memories.) However I've recently learned they are playing in my driveway and leaning against/sitting on my car. (My downstairs neighbors told me, they are also having problems.) My downstairs neighbors have asked the kids to leave the cars alone when they see it happen but the kids tend to forget and are back again quickly after. It's a relatively low-income neighborhood and I understand that these kids don't have anything else to do because it's summer. I love that they're playing outside, I just don't want them on my car!

I think they are accustomed to playing in my driveway from before I moved in but how do I get them to stop without inciting revenge? (I don't want to be the mean old lady that they hate- I just want them to stop messing with my car!) I thought I was done with car drama moving into an apartment with a driveway but it might actually be worse than the street parking at my old place...
<bot>: I'm about to turn into the grumpy cartoon neighbor shouting "get off my lawn!" but really I just want to peacefully get my neighborhood kids to stop touching my car! Help!
