Re: Angry neighbour? (Boundary Dispute!!) What Can I do.. Courts or Fi
Over ten years this has been going on we have taken a non-confrontational approach to him.
My wife is not one for conflict. There is however a possible downside in that its probably emboldened him over the years.
Last month he threw tins of car spray at my car and then - Yes - he challenged me to a fight (note I declined..)
We have never reported anything up until that point..
We had to report it to the local PSCO's so they could go and have a word to calm him down.
The PCSO's have been to see him and he admitted everything ! (Which they said they were suprised at)
They said he was raging about cars driving on his concrete. They have warned him and kept notes to file.
The problem is I have a 2 year old in the car sometimes and we dont want objects thrown at us or the cars.
Also she plays out there on her bike sometimes and however hard we try she can sometimes peddel over his concrete.
His big issue is that cars are driving over his drive / concrete and its getting weaker.
He is out there measuring boundaries and property borders.
We have agreed not to drive over his drive (above) - but it seems those reasurances were not enough.
You are right - he is sitting in his house every day seething.. Anger building up and he is like an unexploded bomb.

Yep hes been cautioned for Criminal Damage for three things:
1) Criminal damage (spray painting to the drive)
2) Criminal damage (Spray painting to our shed) see below
Its probably really difficult to see in this photo but he sprayed in purple a line down our shed.
Its JUST about visible in this photograh..... But its weathered out since 2007 (which is a good thing)
And the last thing he was warned about for criminal damage
3) Throwing paint cans at the car.
So as I said above everything he did he admitted to (to the shock of the PSCO) and she recorded it and he recieved a formal caution.
Her advice is that if he does anything else then they will prosecute him and use these three incidents as "taken into consideration".
Obviously the construction of these posts is a new thing.
