One side of my neighbors are absolutely great. The other side were an absolute nightmare until I went to a solicitor threatening to take out an injunction against them. It's the guy (he's got to be 55) thinking he's smart. He pushed my classic mini up the road with his zafira to start it all off because I was parked slightly further down the street because there was a long wheel base van outside my house so I parked as I would normally behind it. Luckily my neighbours have cctv on the front of their house but he still lied to the police for hours saying he didn't do it. At the time I was quite naive and just said to them I wanted my damages covered and an apology but I wish I'd taken it as far as I could now (criminal damage ect) we have space for two cars at the front of our house and two out the back in front of my garage and hard standing. Because we have six cars including my works van there is always a car parked against the side of their house on the road. If I'm being honest, none of them can drive but his wife is the absolute worse (I have some cracking cctv footage of some of the parking attempts) she cant park in a space big enough for two cars in under 5mins. She hits the kerb so loud I can hear her from inside the house . But anyway, for three weeks he was parking within inches of our cars for no real reason because we could always drive out of the space, we were never blocked in but because he's such a bad driver he had to get his daughter or his wife to come out and tell him how far away he was from our cars. I bought my 92 civic on the Saturday, on the money be reversed into it twice and cracked my front bumper while it was parked (at this point we had installed our own cctv). He's hit our cars on several occasions on purpose trying to park so close but every time we've told the police they've said unless there was damage they couldn't do anything about it but when he damaged my civic I had to go through the insurance? The police are such a waste of time with neighbourly disputes! He's just so weird, my boyfriend has seen him looking at me in the garden from their window as our garden slopes up from the house and the 6ft fence just isn't enough! He drives past the front of our house when he sees we are doing work, otherwise he parks straight around the back illegally, bumping a massive kerb parking on a muddy pile of stones.. I can't wait for him to slip and take out his shed we've even found ladders resting up against the fence that would be there for no reason other than to look over.
It doesn't bother me so much anymore, they've got nothing going on in their lives, nothing better to do and a lot of people have said they are probably just jealous. I mean we don't have a bunch of 70 plate cars and go on holiday every year but we do 95% of work on our house and cars ourselves and before lockdown we would often have people over. Nobody visits them and they most definitely haven't done any work on their house or garden in the last three years we've been living here!
