I wish my crazy neighbour would become nothing ....darn it .... he's been let back out of the loonie bin and been home a couple of days , and started flipping almost immediately once he made up for lost time on the booze and pot and what ever else his poison is ....
Back to magristrate on Thursday for AVO extension No.2 for another 12 months (wish the magistrate would give us an extension for 5 years or even 2 years), he was a no show at the court house, and almost as soon as got back home he was yelling abuse directed at me from inside his house .... OK I let that pass .... he maybe thought the AVO would not get extended ago ....he was upset by the call from the courthouse telling him he'll have to go back there

... he threw a big stick at my roof yesterday , has been banging on my windows and doors and running away before I had the chance to catch him in the act and confront him last night (I know these were him because I heard his door slam shut moments after each time !, and has been agressively charging at people (neighbours , kids , and yelling abuse at them) , been ranting and raving (mostly unintelligible), and yelling obsenities and threats at (us and his other neighbour and at unknowable whatevertheyares) , playing V Loud music and the TV V loud (I can't hear my own TV at normal volume (thinks it hides his ranting and raving and flipsouts) and I was woken up at 4am this morning by hoons about 300 m away near the local shops and a couple of minutes after it sounded like someone told them to rack off , I heard a car pull up right out front of his place and him getting a visit from his dealer (loud voices).

I told the cops twice yesterday about the breaches of the AVO and all they were prepared to do was patrol the street .... so nothing.
I called 000 twice today , the trigger was him suddenly running acrross my front yard (another breach) and then yelling abuse at someone when he walked straight back to his place ( only people on the street were some kids playing about 150 away), Cops came about 90 minutes later and onlt spoke to him then left , and he immediately when they were outside of earshot come back out and yelled obsenities and ranted at us (me and the neighbour) so I called 000 again and as far as I can tell , the cops have not come back (been 2 hrs) and I think the idiot has gone out somewhere now , his house was in darkness when I looked about an hour ago.

I wish nothing but bad things happen to this guy .... my wife feels very insecure in her own home - keeps all the exterior doors deadlocked all the time, and I am so worried about he'll do next that I don't feel confortable leaving her in the house alone. I've told the cops this several times .... yet they still haven't charged him with breaching the AVO.

Selling up and leaving is not an option : would never find a buyer even if I was willing to sell and run away from this cretin and his bull , first thing the buyers would ask "what are the neighbours like ?" .... he's a deal killer.

Sorry for off loading here .... but I am so dammed fustrated by all this and my wife and I feel we are at our wits end and the cops don't seem to be prepared to do more than talk to him (he of cause flips some switch in his head and acts like nothing has happened and looks and sounds to all intents like a sane person and he turns on the charm).

Any constructive realistic suggestions ?? (that wont land me prison or increase the danger to my wife if I not home and he gets thoughts as a consequence of them...)
