Animal abuse is just cause for serious repercussions. In the old days, when things could be handled properly, the solution was easy and obvious. Today, thanks to our PC and lawyer-addled culture, not so much. But you could set up a video rig. And once you have incontrovertible evidence that her Moo-mie can't dispute, you can pursue legal action. Call the cops; better yet, call a real shark of a shyster lawyer and sue the Moo-mie and Duh-die into the poorhouse.
"A few months ago, a house up the street went up in flames. Last night, little Mr. Monster wasn't paying attention and I caught him unlocking my front hub on one side of my truck. I took him by the elbow, pinching a nerve junction in the process, and explained to him I didn't like people who messed with my wheels. He had a snotty "What do you think you're gonna do old man" look on his face until I let go of the nerve junction.The longer you hold it, it doesn't hurt while you hold it, the more it hurts when you release it. I then explained that I knew where he lived and used to be a cop so i would have no problem signing a criminal complaint against him and his buddy's if I felt it neccessary. I also mentioned some other things that I won't print because of legal concerns. "
Good move. I hope the little cretin gets the message. I still would have called the cops and filed a complaint. I have zero tolerance for scumbags, teen-apers or adults.
I am so grateful we moved away from suburbia and the "next door" neighbor is a quarter-mile down the street and the land that abuts ours is a 120 acre farm.
In our old place, we never had actual theft/vandalism happen, but unsupervised/run amok kids were a constant thing. The people who lived two houses down had a daughter who was about 5 and they just left this kid to wander the cul-de-sac and she often just wandered right into my garage (or my neighbor's) where there were all sorts of kid-unfriendly items, from sharp tools to heavy things that might fall on you if you happened to be a kid and tried climbing some shelves, etc. It was infuriating. One, I didn't want the kid to get hurt; two, I didn't want to be held responsible for the kid being hurt - which you just know would happen if the kid toppled a motorcycle on herself or something - even though it's my private property and the kid had no business being there. I have heard about similar situations where a person got sued into oblivion because the neighbor's kid got into the other neighbor's pool - which didn't have saaaaaaaaaaaaaaafety/chiiiiiiiiiiiiild proof features.
Etc.
You need to move!
