Neighbor From Hell

[Slipknot]

why didn't they arrest him?
chitbum is too kind a word for him

suks Karl
take care of your family

[BigFish]

Karl....if I was you....I would line the perimeter of your compound with Claymores, setup a few trip wires with assorted implements of death attached to them! Maybe get yourself a few broken video cameras and hang them around the yard where they are visible and rig them so they pivot back and forth like they are really working!

Sounds like a real chit-bag....good luck with that!

[gone fishin]

Damn - that really pisses you off. I had a similar case many years ago and I know how you feel. It is a no win situation and I hope he either goes to jail or bails before you have to confront the bum. Amazing how loneliness makes a fool of people. Perhaps your neighbor will come to her senses before she marries him.

Do what I did once, I went next door and "introduced" myself as the guy who if he found anything missing would come back to vist again with the very baseball bat (aluminum) I had in my hand and just beat him to a pulp, no questions asked.

Did have an incident shortly there after with one of his kids. Once I figured out what had happened I marched right in while they were sharing tv time, quaint family unit as they were and picked him up by the throat and asked for my two boat gas tanks back or I would bust his house up and them as well. The kid went and got the tanks which were in the woods behind our houses along with 6 stolen dirt bikes which the police later came to collect.

The house was finally lost to bank foreclosure and now sits abandoned and overgrown and falling apart. Anyone want to buy it cheap and live next to me?

Make the first move Karl, let him know he shouldn't f()ck with you. Otherwise your doomed to a hellish exsitence.

I always thought living on the Cape in Orleans was an idylic life, one to be jealous of?

Karl, you have to add sound effects to your 12:30 am chain saw start up trick.

Start it up,rev it ,and have Dee and Donna running around the house screaming in the background.

That will send them a message.

RUNNING AROUND >,

is that with or without clothes

Next time he stares over the fence at you ask what the hell are you stareing at. Don't miss an oppurtunity to remind he that he would be smart to keep his bullsh*t on his side of the fence.
I have similar neighbors the son just got out of prison for beating his 79 Mom, His sister is a hopeless drunk, his son is a thief and the all live together. They've seen me in a rage and they know that I can shoot better %$%$%$%$faced than they can (another long story). Recently he slipped and started with me again after 25+years. I politely reminded him just what was what. Bullies are all the same, draw a line in the dirt and stand firm. They won't cross it, if they do cripple them. Good luck Karl.

...

Um, Karl, I wouldn't do that. That kind of stuff will get you in legal hot water right off the bat.

Do you have a dog?

If you haven't already, march on over to your local p.d. and get your FID card. Pick up a Remington 870 12 g (<$300) and a box of shells.

Get a container of pepper spray too.

Got a flashlight? Make sure you have spare batteries and bulbs.

Got an alarm system?

Pre-program your CELL PHONE with the local p.d. number (not just 911).

Hopefully they'll come to pick up that dude and charge him with theft, but in the meantime, keep your fingers crossed.

For what I'd use a Maglite for, dead batteries would work just as well as fresh ones. Bulbs are optional

A bad neighbor has got to be a nightmare.
I think we should have a party at your house to show that you've got some buds.

I can state for a fact that a maglight with a medium smack to the side of the head will cause the recipient to get about forty stitches shortly thereafter receiving the blow. I must further state that I was not the giver, just a witness. The giver ended up in civil rights litigation. The getter got righ.

Gives a better meaning to the phrase "Lights out!"

Like most vermin, if you give them an inch, they will take your whole yard.
Sometimes a visual can do wonders as a deterrent. Show him just how crazy you are and he will definitely think twice about bringing your wrath down on his sorry arse.

I can be sweet but you have to go to the same level for respect from dirt bags. They only respect fear and yes a slightly aggressive dog does help plus I would suggest the Remington 1100 with a deer slayer barrel and Breneke slugs.
