So I was walking home last night having had a decent evening in London, minding my own business with some headphones in and texting someone. I then passed my neighbours, thinking nothing of it. A few seconds later a stone hit me.
I stopped, took my headphones out and asked if they'd seen anything come from any cars. Being a bit drunk, I was actually asking for assistance rather than pointing any fingers. Soon I realised though, that it wouldn't be possible to hit me from a car on that side of my body. Not only weren't there many cars around, but most people also don't tend to keep stones in them.
I am less than half their age and though we've had trouble with their ASBO addicted son in the past, I've had literally no contact with them for over a decade. What to do, do you reckon? Admittedly a few cig ends went over the garden fence afterwards, very juvenile but I wanted to let them know I'm not quite as stupid as I look.

Pull the cap off of the milk.
Lean it up against there front door and ring door bell.
Hopefully they have carpet so it will soak in and stink the place out.
Too far??
Direct action would be very tempting of course, but you might want to consider the following;
Report it to local neighbourhood police team, verbally at first if/when one passes, ask if they are known for trouble and ask them for their advice and to keep an eye on them. Report them to housing authority (council/ social housing?). Report them in future for antisocial behaviour, including noise, suspected drugs activity?, dog messing etc.
Chat to decent neighbours if you know any and build a case against them. Even get a couple of willing witnesses together knock and ask again if they saw it, and see what response you get.
Get ready to move. Or forget about it, at least for now.
Having had experience of a nutty neighbour, I honestly think that the best strategy is to rise above it. If you don't you may end up in a feud which then becomes a constant source of stress and resentment, and anybody's life is better without those two things, I would say.

Both are correct.
Do you know their home number? Go on a load of sex chatrooms and say that you are a horny bird looking for someone to talk dirty with... Done this to my pal and he had about 40-50 calls one after the other with pervy blokes just sitting there grunting.
Out neighbours are nice but it would be nice if they didn't hit our cars what seems every other week!
My mate did it to a landlord that refused to pay his deposit back. Not only did the landlord get tons of old Christmas trees in his front garden, he got angry people coming over and demanding their money!
