How my neighbour parked his car last night ... any advice?

[crockers]

When selling a house you have to declare your status with neighbours ie any disputes etc (on the solicitor's enquiry form).

If that subsequently proves to be false there are consequences.

Don't know how far the sales transaction has gone but you may like to bring it into the equation especially via his wife whom are often the initiators of house moves.

They are likely to be very concerned if this accident prejudiced the sale of their house, and will want to do all they can to ensure amicable treatment of neighbour's concerns etc.

I think that this is by far your strongest way forward......... even better if you know the estate agent involved and inform them that there is a neighbour dispute and that it will lead to legal proceedings if it is not rectified in a civil manner - and as they are now fully aware of it they too must let the buyer know.

Only down side is the sale may not go ahead and you are stuck with a spiteful neighbour....

But I too would have called the police - not to expect any assistance but just to get a crime reference number for future proceedings.

Good luck

I'm with evdock. . . . . Chin him. . . . . . . . . . or call the old bill.
I dont condone violence. . . . . . but. . . YOU can not let him get away with this. Polite has its place. . but hes had chance to deal with it.
With the "possibility" of him being drunk make it worse, I would not let him get away with it.
He's moving soon, so dont worry about upseting him.
Tell him to fix it or. . . . he gets chinned.

Great Idea -- fully agree.............. why should he get away with it ...and you can have a well earned rest at her majesty's pleasure in a hotel of your choice -- free food paid by us too... and don't worry about working as you may not have a job to come back to and dont worry about your neighbours etc because without a job you may not keep you home...

Yea a great idea...lol

This is a very good point and a very powerful tool, if the sale is not past the point of no return, definitely an avenue worth exploring

 

[flango]

But there is no evidence, so a court case would be a waste of time.

While irritating and certainly unfair, it's not really worth losing sleep over.

We don't know if there is or isn't evidence do we? my comments are based on the fact there is some evidence as clearly stated. if contact has been made there is a good chance of a paint swap photographs of which would clearly serve as evidence in court

I'd suggest the following....

Collect up a reasonable amount of Dog Poo... (freely available to yourself)...

Wrap it in a newspaper, set alight, ring his doorbell and shout "Fire" through the letterbox....retire and grin as He comes out and stamps all over it...


Alternatively, arm yourself with a few packets of cress seed, sprinkle on is front lawn spelling out a word of choice, then smile to yourself the next time He mows the front law and the white stems releal your feeling for him....

I've never heard of that one before but what a great idea, might have to call at the garden centre on the way home

I'd be tempted to give it a good shove with our Dodge weapons carrier and finish putting it in the garage for him, preferably through the wall

 

[Kompressor_Dude]

This all comes down to you, are you the kind of person who can let it go, and hope karma will put things right? are you good at legalities and determined enough to push through with threats of legal action/court summons until you get a resolution? Or are you quite happy to go round, knock on the door until you get an answer and MAKE him sort it out.

Everyone gets on their high horse about force, but some people respond to nothing else. If the police and courts wont sort it out, you know it was him and he's had reasonable opportunity to come clean and hasnt, i know exactly what my solution would be.

Im not saying any of these are the right way to go, but i think you should choose a course of action with a view of closing the issue and being content, or it'll play on you for a long time!

Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out one way or another!

Drag him out of his house and give him a good kicking, and then explain to the court it was all over a bent numberplate screw and a cracked bumper.....

To all of those who are threatening violence to the other party.
I am by no means a pacifist, and I must confess to having on occasion let my emotions get the better of me.
On the other hand, may I share some of what life has taught me.

No matter how big or mad you are, there is always someone bigger or madder than you.

Your choice, but may I also share

Vengeance is a dish best served cold. The colder the better.

Very wise, a rash brick thru his windscreen could be retaliated with a complete trashing of your nicer MB.

Judging by the state of the Honda I doubt he would notice

 

[SilverSaloon]

hmmmm....

OK, the honda is old and knackered, but to claim he "wont care" is being a bit short sighted.

just because the car is old, doesnt mean he doesnt care about it - He could be broke and this is all he can afford, therefore breaking it more in revenge could seriously affect his life, so he will care.

i still reckon that inform him of the problem, keep knocking on his door until you see him in person, howeevr many tries/evenings it takes.

then take it from there. personally, the damage doesnt look huge, so if he does blank you, i'd let it go and repair it yourself. If it happens again, call the police immediately - and tell him that is what you will do.

then leave it at that.

Crimestoppers. . . report him there!

Stand outside and wait for him to leave for his shift...he'll either have to come out (as you have used the vito to block him in...) or hide and miss work....for 5 days on the trot....get sacked....no mortgage for new house etc....

and you can post a polite note saying you'll let him go to work when he pops over to discuss his ill driving.
