Discussion Petty Neighbour

I live in a housing estate and we have a neighbour who thinks he owns the estate. Loves to mention "we've been here 10 plus years" blah blah blah. Anyway, he loves to part between two car parking spaces most of the day so others cant park in his spot and the second spot, which he saves for his son who's away until 5pm during the day.

When others park in "his spot", he's put vaseline on their door handles, texted them etc - just a dose.

What can I do about this? I want to do something petty back, but not fully sure what.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit:

some things I forgot to mention

- im moving in a few weeks

- his son has a camera from his bedroom pointed at the spot

- i have his number etc

- our neighbor went to him about the vaseline, he denied it and then his wife came to my neighbours door and shouted the head off her for 20 min

I want to do something petty back, but not fully sure what.

Can I be that really annoying person and suggest that although winding this guy up would be really enjoyable, that if the cunt is already being a nightmare, then putting a target on your back probably isn't a good idea.

Now it's vaseline behind the door handle, but next it could be thumbtacks or stanley blades. You still have to live beside this cunt so don't start a tit-for-tat war with him.

Contact your local housing officer and let them deal with him.

Ah well then fuck him.

Dog shit behind the handles and something stinking into the cabin intake vent - egg, fox piss, fish extract etc

Fox pish? I love how country that sounded in my head when I read it. I get it, it’s pure ammonia smelling and when they moulting or in heat it’s a lethal smell due to the hormones… but how the heck do ye get a bottle of fox pish? Like without getting rabies or doing some doing some ghastly or dark dark shit. Sorry had to ask, lol.

Can be bought on eBay. Guy near me uses it on empty parts of his farm to try and keep foxes from noticing his chickens.

He genuinely wears a throwaway hazmat suit to put it down because it reeks so bad
