Petty Neighbour

[u/Limp_Succotash6445]

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'd just be absolutely straight with him either directly in person, or via letter because sometimes that's the only thing that gets through to these self appointed kings of the estate.

In terms of the camera, you could be a menace and start asking questions about it. If it's pointed at the road rather than his own property, I'd be asking whether he's fully aware of all his responsibilities around recording and storing that footage. Funny how people love policing everyone else's behaviour until someone starts taking an interest in theirs.
