this is really very good. but I also agree that he is a bully. I would start with a
complete online circuit court search. also sex offender search. find out if this
guy is really a wuse ass or if he might be dangerous. and make sure he "owns" the
home rather than renting cause if he is renting find his landlord and start bitching
big time.

everyone must understand (being a smoker) that when a butt is flicked it is LIVE.
that is, it is a fire threat. do call the cops on the yapping dog (for godsake do
the dog a favor!). do video tape him exercising and send to proper authorities.

If somebody started messing with me like that my instinct would be to sneak out at
night and toss raw shit on his back porch. one for every butt I would throw shit
against his house after he got thru snowblowing.

OR, I would find some friendly well tattooed Harley guys and ask them to do me a
favor .... go up to his house and have a friendly chat with him about laying off.
You dont know any? offer to pay them. Nothing rough, nothing threatening.

Keep in mind that some people are raised as pigs, by older pigs, and are
totally unsocialized. I used to have neighbors whose teenage daughter would
go out for ice cream with her friends almost every night, and as she
returned, she and her pig friends would toss ice cream cups, plastic spoons
and napkins out the car window. When we spoke to her father, who was also a
pig, and explained that we didn't appreciate trash all over the lawn &
street, he acted like this was a revelation.

You may need to train your pig. This process is sometimes more effective if
you lead him by the nose to the conclusion that any behavioral changes were
his idea. If you reach the point of calling the police, they'll probably ask
if you've tried talking to the pig. At least you can say you did.

Try this:

You: Listen, is there a good reason why you keep tossing your cigarette
butts onto my lawn?

That's it. Shut up, and stare at him. It's a totally open-ended question
which requires that he either speak, or slam the door in your face. There is
no possible good reason, so no matter what he says, you respond "I'm sorry.
I must not have made myself clear. I said 'a GOOD reason'. Is there one?" He
may actually stop doing it. If not, call the cops. You've done all you can.
