To all you guys who said you'd retaliate drastically (especially the one taking out wheelnuts - WTF?!): would you actually do that? Are you insane?
I'm a law student. Which is not to say that I'm an authority, but I know what counts when it comes to civil litigation. If the situation escalates at all and ends up in court (you suing him / him trying to sue you, whether for money or an injunction), you want to come to court with 'clean hands'. Which means no fighting back. Equity will provide a remedy for unconscionable conduct, which means play nice. Have you got front windows? I'd say hook up a webcam, preferably one with infrared, to look over the cars. If you notice anything in the morning, review the last night's footage to see what happened. Some dickheads keyed nearly every car in my whole street recently, and I was very seriously considering this option. If he came onto your property, that's trespass, which is actionable per se (ie. no damage has to occur, just being there is an offence). If he touches your property (perhaps a grate, for example), that's trespass to chattels. If he moves the grate (and you can prove it) and you damage your car driving over it, that's negligence on his part. As for the next step to take - I would talk to the police. Even if it gets you nowhere, it shows later that you expressed concern in the right place. The only real way you're going to get anywhere is evidence, and a camera of some description would greatly help in that regard. Failing that, talk to a solicitor and see what can be done. |

ok we have established that this guy is a liar
so your cleans mean nothing unless there is hard evidence to support either sides argument, you;ll be telling the truth, he won't be and the judge won't be able to split it on a hunch. Get some hard evidence and only then do you have a leg to stand on.

Actually sometimes it can and does come down to a hunch. Cases like this one don't have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (as with criminal cases), but just on the balance of probabilities. Ever sat down and watched Judge Judy? You're probably all cringing right now, but she often infers a party's character by their body language, and lies and inconsistencies are relatively easy to pick out. In small civil hearings, it's very similar to the way it works in Aus. So if you are bona fide and act in good faith, the law will see you favourably, maybe even enough to swing the balance of probabilities in to your side.

i doubt this would ever goto court unless it got drastically worse..atm "someone" (an unknown someone) has moved a grate...
all marc can do is report it to the cops...just so its on file incase something else may happen another time...

Why at this point would you want to go to the expense of taking this clown to court. It would only strengthen his opinion.
Ignore him and he will probably stop playing his games, the street party idea would show him that you have been accepted by and get on with your other neighbors without a confrontation. The street party could also be a bit of fun.

By the way I don't mean to come across as though I'm advocating taking him to court. I'm just saying that it's always important that the avenues you follow are legal, ie. don't ever stoop to their level. If you can ignore it and it stops, that's great. If it doesn't, don't retaliate, just talk to someone who can help.

please let this thread not devolve to: "When chuck norris does push ups, he doesn't go up, the earth goes down beneath him"
For the love of god, no. I say we burn chuck norris.
