Make sure to include pictures of him behaving badly when you do.Make sure her car blocks his direct path too so he must walk into the street like a normal person. Since he's shown a propensity for vandalizing your property, get an infra red security camera aimed out there too. That way, if something DOES happen to the car, you have it on tape and grounds to sue or press charges.I'd say the solution is for your daughter to park her car in the space in front of the neighbor's house. If he is going to use up your space, his is fair game. It might be passive aggressive, but at this point, he's asked to be treated the way he is treating you. Being nice about it hasn't worked.
It's not really stooping to his level. If that's the space on the public street which is available, then you have a right to use it.
Till he decides to be a rational, good neighbor, fight fire with marshmallows.
Good advice.
The funny thing is, this whole thing has been bugging the hell out of me since last summer (since my daughter got a car) and over the winter (with the whole snow thing). But ever since I asked him to move his car last Saturday . . . . I feel sooo much less annoyed. And the more he does the 'shoving of cone' or 'driving over the cone' thing, the calmer and more logical I'm approaching the whole thing. I just feel like I have a pretty valid point, he's being a jackass, and the calmer I remain and the nicer I am . . . the more it's going to piss him off. I'm not looking to piss him off, mind you . . . A very nice letter better explaining our POV might just be the thing to get him to move his car. I'll play it by ear the next week or two and see what happens.
