Ok so this has been going on since the day I moved in.
I have a male neighbor that's in his 40's, lives alone and only comes out of his house to take the trash out and maybe go to work. Nobody ever comes to visit him and almost everyone on the block has said if they had to pick him out of a lineup they couldn't.
Last year he ran his lawnmower down the side of my work truck that was parked in fron of his house. It wasn't bad so I was able to buff it out. A few weeks later he did it again this time down to the metal. I knocked on his door a few times when I knew he was home but he would never answer. I had to wait till he took out the trash to catch him outside. I confronted him about it and he siad it wasn't him and if I didn't want my truck getting sratched then I shouldn't park in fron of his house and I should park in my own driveway. About a month later he ran the lawnmower down the side of my wifes car that was parked in my driveway. I tried to talk to him again but he just avoided me...I told the wife I was going to call the cops but she didn't want me to start a war with the neighbor.
Fast forward to march. I picked up a project truck and parked it in my back yard. There was no engine or front clip on it and I made sure it was out of sight to any of my neighbors. A week later the ordinance office stops by and says one of my neighbors is complaing that it is an eye sore. I already knew which neighbor it was because everyone else on the block loves me. The officer just said to get it fixed or park it in the garage within a month...which I planned on doing.
Once the weather got warmer I seen my neighbor outside and confronted him. This time he was packing his pistol and actually unclipped his holster as he approached me. I calmly said if there was ever anything I was doing that bothered him that he can feel free to come talk to me and I'll gladly try to fix it. He started shaking and saying "you had to be told that was a problem". This guy seems very unstable and carrying a gun on top of that. I have two little boys and this guy has his pistol on him at all times, even when cutting the grass. I asked him nicely that if my kids are out in the yard i'd appreciate it if you didn't have your gun on you...he responds with "take them inside then". A few months ago I finished my project truck and parked my old truck to get it ready to sell. I also bought a 32' travel trailer and parked it in my back yard...on the driveway. Few days later here comes the ordinance officer again. Says my neighbor called on my trailer and that my truck had no plate on it. Ordinance officer said It was fine to have the trailer in my back yard and that because I was selling the truck I didn't need a plate...screw you guy...lol.
Last week I had a friend drop odd a car that he needed me to put a trans in. Once the car was in my garage, here comes my a-hole neighbor with his phone taking pictures of my buddies truck and trailer. I flew out of the house and asked what his problem was and that he should get a life instead of watching everyone else live theres. He said I was breaking the law and I was running an auto shop out of my garage. I said I only work on my cars and friends if they need it. He proceeded to call me a hillbilly and a nucence cause I work out in my garage all the time...I siad it's my right to do what I want in my own yard. I can make as much noise as I want till 11pm. Check the ordnance. I said I don't hear anybody else complaining except you cause you have nothing better to do.
What do I do about this guy? I feel like I have to watch every little thing I do or he'll call the ordinance on me. I have no motivation to become this guys friend or treat him as a good person because he's a dick and I want nothing to do with him...plus he's such a big tool.
