This is the sort of guy your looking for straight through the front door. No messing about.

Hope this makes you laugh. Needs volume

Just keep turning his power off, easily done at the meter box, especially if he has an RCD fitted in there. All the better if he is on dialysis.
Full-on warfare might be fun. Power him down, kill all his trees, super glue his door locks and windows, turn off his water overnight. There's plenty of fun to be had, and I'm sure you can find more on the net. Send him into such a schitzo attack that he's scheduled (locked away). There's no place for people like that in modern society. You already have the fuzz on your side, use your advantage.
Short of that, the shanghai is the best solution.

Cheers,
Jason.

Ian,
If you're right about the internal lights burning all the time, maybe he is growing 'happy weed'. Are those lights same/similar to hydroponics lights? The Drug squad might like to take an active interest in his interior decor.
This might also explain why he turns this outside light on each night....can't have people sneeking up and peeking through the windows at his gardening efforts, can he?
Can you plant a smallish tree near the fence, one that won't grow so high it affects your night sky, but bushy enough to shade your yard?

luck,
Doug

It's a sad society when good law abiding people are subjected to such things, one wonders what the world's coming too when a hard working family nerd has too put up with this crap.

A tree will obstruct my driveway and I wont be able the car into my garage.

I don't know what kind of lights he has in the spare bedrooms (I can't see into them (he has blinds he can see out with but you can't see in through from outside), all I know is the lights never go off at night) and for someone who hasn't worked a day in over 15 years , he still found the money to be able afford the biggest TV , the best sound system , nice furniture , and often I can smell burning pot (I picked up a discarded improvised bog once in the carpark at Stockton and smelt it out of couriousity (a stench that is unforgetable) peeuw !!! I know what that smells like , unmistakeable)).

I have told the local cops , and the local magistrate when I took out the AVO , about these things , so have 2 or 3 other neighbours that I know off ....

Maybe I need to call them again , and again , and again , ....

[Doug]

Ok Ian, I gather he is a next door neighbour. When you described him as a 'neighbour from hell' my mind turned to my own neighbour from hell that lives behind me. Apart from flooding my back yard with light, they have planted this thumping big pine tree right up against the back fence. It blocks about 70% of my southern sky up to an elevation of about 70deg. His flood light was easy, I just flood his yard and kitchen with my own flood light until he gets the message. The pine tree though? Anybody got an army of trained borers for hire? maybe a pine specific collar rot disease or such would do.

Borax comes to mind.

Ian, at least you can be fairly sure he's not a heroin addict. As I understand it, they can't stand any sort of bright light. In the druggie dump we renovated a couple of years ago, all the light bulbs (except one or two) had been removed (presumably so they couldn't be accidentally turned on). My enquiries led me to the above explanation.

As an aside, it sounds like our druggie wasn't as well off as yours Ian, as the level of squalor inside this place was unimaginable. And the only TVs were the broken ones holding up doors that had been ripped off the hinges

Needless to say we got it for a 'good' price and made it into a little palace Interestingly, $5k in cash in a bag was part of the settlement deal - for the next purchase presumably

Cheers,

I have only had glimpses through his front door while driving past , and that's what I saw - got no idea how clean it is inside , never been inside to see.

He gets lots of visitors , often at strange hours - I hear them coming and going when up late studying (as I often do through the night). The whole neighbourhood knows he supplies , this is likely where he got the money for his goodies.

Hi Ian,
Might be time to get some real action and step on a few toes..get on the media..they loves it when the powers that be allow some creep to be a pest to everyone..unruly, suspicious behaviour...so send a note to them that you will consider taking action that may embarrass the clowns in their ivory towers!!!..Failing that..park your car in the next street..then he won't know you're home...or do what I did.. I built a screen around the scope about 2.5 metres high..(4 panels each 2.5 H x 1.5 W and arranged in a semi-circle and about 1.2 metres from the mount)..I used a double layer of builders black plastic on a wooden frame which folds up for storage...
Good luck!!

ph number for Crimestoppers.

Just another suggestion - I do not know if it would be effective, or how long it would take to see results, but they collect that info to be passed on to the most appropriate section later for their perusal and consideration.. local police may be busy with just the day to day general duties stuff..or, he might be already of interest to some other squad or group, so the locals might not be willing to tread on anyone else's toes or an already existing investigation.

Just called them. Made the report and told them I don't my name mentioned .

Will also give Centrelink's dob-in-a-cheat free number too , tomorrow.

Don't think anything will come of these actions.

Hey, all this just to be kept in the 'Dark'!
Some seek enlightenment though study and contemplation of the night sky while others....well as Nino Culotta wrote (about Amateur Astronomers?) They're a weird mob'.
cheers,
Doug

[Doug]

seriously though Ian, I hope you get speedy and satisfactory results.

Just Dob (pardon the pun) him into the "Tax man"...."undeclared earnings"...it's un-Australian not to pay tax on your earnings.

The "Tax man" will sort him out!
