Neighbors

If you can be in the sticks with QUIET neighbors, there probably isn't anything better.

My last house was on a 4 acre lot, and the house was surrounded by trees. Peace and quiet.

Tiny bedroom community no real business but everything we need one exit down or up from us on the highway.Only traffic on the street is from from the fed-ex,amazon...etc delivery trucks. On a quiet Summer night if the wind is blowing just right you can hear the nitro dragsters at New England Dragway though.

Higher property taxes and all homes no rental units really help keep the riff-raff out.

He was also shooting his gun into the ground claiming he was hunting moles. Cops said it was okay as long as he was in his backyard, this is in the city limits. The state police had a different opinion and he stopped it rather quickly.
He used to stand across the street and stare into our bay window. He does donuts in the middle of the street with his lawn mower so he can blow anything in the street onto our property. We just laugh at it.

This week he must have figured out I wasn't around and started up some antics again. He waits for his wife to leave, walks out to check the mail, gets in his vehicle and rides by our house as close to the side of the street as he can while my wife is mowing the yard by the street. She tries to do this when he is not home to avoid any conflict. Yesterday he left, came back and checked the mail, sped along our side near my wife and then did it again about 5 minutes later. I told her to call the State Police again, locals won't do crap and seeing as we are in the city limits the Sheriff refers matters to the locals. She doesn't want to start anything so close to leaving and just wants to get the heck out of there. Almost three weeks until we close on our house here in IA and get the heck out of IN.

Advertise his house for an Estate Sale and other trivial shit before you leave-or after you leave. Put a for sale ad for his lawn mower.

And state "you" work second shift and all calls should be made from 12 AM to 5 am

You should punch him in his face as long as possible. Regardless of what happens thereafter, almost certain he won’t be stalking your family anymore.

Use a smaller bat. It will take more hits to get the desired effect.

Sounds like Asian porn almost... use a smaller bat

[Iron Chef]

If it's feasible, maybe find a place for your wife to stay for the next three weeks?

I agree the OP is a doormat and will continue to be bullied wherever he goes.

Closest neighbor is 0.5mi away...and family.
Repeated gunshots echoing throughout the canyons hourly and too many places to bury a body around here keeps a-holes in check.

Has the OP considered shitting in a paper bag and throwing it on his neighbor's roof?

[09CTSV]

Sure, let me start shit and have my wife put up with the BS while I am 8 hours away. Let's worry about our family of some big bad bullshit some talk. Go ahead raise hell and then leave your wife to put up with the bullshit where the police won't do shit and the Sheriff is questionable. We can all talk a good line of shit and think we are Billy Bad ass but when the rubber hits the road most everyone would do the same and protect the family.

You do know what sarcasm is, right? Anyway, I'd do the shit in a bag thing as you lock up and leave for the last time.
