You're right but in six months if this escalates the police will have record of the events. Let us all hope this goes no further.
BTW I'm playing with 'Active WebCam' from www.pysoft.com That and a cheap web cam could help.

maybe he just wants a ride in your astina :P. on a serious note i'd have to agree with pretty much everyone and say u need evidence proving that he is messing around with you. put a hidden camera in somwhere when he's not around so he doesnt know u have one and then see what happens.
OR u could write a little note "smile for the camera a**hole" and put it where the grate is so when he goes to move it he sees it and puts it back and doesnt annoy u anymore . |

do unto others as you would have them do unto you,
or as my sergeant used to say, do unto the other guy before he gets a chance to do unto you Put the fear of god into this sob, make sure he thinks you are willing to go further than he ever would. Send him a letter of intent to sue for wilful damage, make it look official, inform him you've filed with the police and that they are investigating a matter of tresspass, make sure he thinks you intend to hurt him more than he intends to hurt you, do nothing illegal but be a nasty piece of work to him. and as caligula used to say oderint dum metuant

ok this is really evil but i was talking to people at work and these were suggestions:
- remove every wheel nut on his car. place them on the road past his driveway so when he drive out he sees them. or just take them and throw them away. first one sends a message, second is plain evil if a wheel falls off at 70kph - remove valves and place across bonnet in front of driver - place something of yours, be it the metal grate etc under his house, in his backyard etc. then call police, tell them its missing and you spotted it in his yard. wear gloves so no prints. then watch/listen as he tries to explain it to the police as if its the grate as his prints should still be on there from last time - this is mine. get small bags of icing sugar and little white pills, something total innocent. use glove when handling bags. place them in/around his property by hiding/throwing through windows etc. then call police saying you heard weird noises and saw lots of people at his place. preferably make call from public phone booth away from you place. watch in amusement as drug squad turns up. yes it works. we did it to the janitor at school

no, no and no.
don't play this guys games. talk to him and ask him the issues he has with the street. 6:30-7:15 doesn't seem to be any problem noise wise. explain how you try to limit the noise etc. if he still is a idiot after that? have a street party and don't invite him... ryan |

Nope, as I stated, I have tried and tried again, he doesnt want a bar of me. Seems he doesnt like anyone in the street with even just an exhaust on there cars, and well, im just keeping an eye out at night now, closing the gate and have all the sensor lights on just in case... it may have just been a once off thing, who knows...

I like the idea of the street party. It leaves him out in the cold and shows that you get on with the other neighbours.

I'd take the legal side of things... Sure, some of the pay-backs posted are funny as, but it doesn't give you a leg to stand on if things seem to get out of hand...
I can just imagine if he comes out to the street party *everyone goes silent, staring at him*

Im not going to do any of those come-backs, cause thats just bringing me down to his level of maturity, besides im the kind of person that if you dont know me, i'll just leave you be. Im certainly not a person to just go and attack someone else, its not in my nature and am not about to change now...
lol it would be funny if you were my neighbours tho

best idea IMHO is the legal letter.
just go into a solicitors office and ask them if they could do a letter for you. also, a CCTV camera is a good idea.
