Do your neighbors hate you?
Hemi:
I don't think he's coward, he just does not want to lose his ace-in-the-hole (screwing them over if they do not stop the noise) by going up to them and having them tell him to F-off, as they most certainly will do. As he said, obviously the guy who would go over and complain would be the prime suspect in anything fishy that went on from that point on. He must not feel like going over and telling them to be more quiet is going to do anything. Some people you just cannot be nice to and need to learn the hard way.
I do think he should send a letter without his name on it and give them a chance to be more quiet and let them know that there is a problem before acting like a lunatic.

Ace in the hole? Destruction of private party under the cover of night is an ACE IN THE HOLE? Only a low life coward would pull that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. If he had a single hair on his nutsack he'd simply walk over and talk with the people. If he still had problems he'd confront them directly. Only a real scum bag would sneak around destroying the property of people he doesn't "like".
EDIT: I removed the remarks I'd had re: the new poster above. Not worth the "drama". Dude supports the destruction of personal property over being a man and confronting the person himself...I can't change the fact the guy has no sense of personal responsibility, so why kick it around...
FrizzleFried:
Now I come to a dilemma...
...some ---uvula--- burned me and my friend for $500 ($250 each) on a TV that was off color when we saw it at his place. He said "the colors just need to be adjusted with the remote"... went to adjust and the remote didn't have batteries. Of course the remote for his NEW TV had batteries...but they were the wrong size. Like a couple of Lemmings we dumbasses bought the TV on the guys word that the colors could be adjusted out.
Yes...we're morons...because you know what happened. Yup...color issue couldn't be adjusted out. I pull the front off and the damned blue tube (projection screen TV) was all blurry...why? Because (A) it had FUNGUS growing inside (water cooled) and (B) some moron (likely the scum bag who sold it) had tried to repair it himself...and when they put everything back together they managed not to include the neck rings that were present on all other colors.
Bottom line, the dude refused to refund the dough, refused to take back his damaged TV. I talked to a lawyer friend who said I could sue in small claims court but it would come down to a he said she said and I'd likely lose.
I want to go over and beat the bastard down REAL BAD...but that wouldn't solve the problem and I'd be in jail for sure.
SO...here we are 6 months later...and I am still waiting...
...and if my better judgement fails me some night (drunk perhaps?) I'm considering writing "KARMA'S A ---smurfette--- ---smurf---" really big in his lawn with "Round Up"...
The rub is that doing so, I invite bad karma in to my life...even though the bastard screwed me good.
EDIT: I almost forgot why I posted this...
...how is this desire of mine any different than what the CL poster proposes? A real man would go beat the guys ass... right? What if I was to tell you that I am 6'4" 300 lbs and not bad with putting a beat down on someone and this guy is about 5'5" and MAYBE a buck fifty? While every time I have EVER gotten ---my bottom--- handed to me it's been by smaller guys than me, this guy doesn't look the type. What purpose would it serve other than to make me feel a little better (which I would, but wouldn't because I am the type of guy who would worry about the injuries I gave to the guy...no winning I tell ya!!).
I guess the conclusion I come to is that I will likely NEVER do anything...I will take it as a lesson and move on with life... which I guess means that I maintain that it's a --cream-filled twinkie-- thing to destroy someones property without at least attempting to resolve the situation face to face.
Right?
:dunno
shmokes:
Break into his house and break his new TV. That's Karma.
Hemi:
We all like to act like we are all angels or could never destroy other peoples stuff if it comes down to it. Some might even go so far as to try to make others think they could never do anything like this while posting on a message board. The fact is you're only kidding yourself trying to act as if you would not get fed-up with a problem that would not seem to end, and if this was the only way to make the situation right, then so be it. I did say send a letter explaining the problem and wait and see if anything changes, and if not...
