    Alright, so I have three large trees in the front yard. Certain times of the year they do produce a lot of leaves and if gets windy some end up in the guys yard across the street. I hate raking leaves and admittedly don't do it often enough. Its still 100+ degrees everyday.

    He loves his yard and its green as fuck all year round (which I think is retarded because we live in a damn desert). But, its his yard, so whatever. I have never seen that many leaves in his yard. But he is super anal about his lawn and gets mad about having to rake his pristine lawn. I have thought of getting rid of the trees to appease him, but I like the trees.


    The law pretty much is: " Leaves are considered a natural product. Even if the leaves cause damage, like clogging your gutters or pipes, you have no legal claims against the owner of the tree. Additionally, you are responsible for cleaning up any natural products that fall into your yard."

    He has really started coming over a lot and even yelling at me when he sees me driving. He is a dick and just yells when he comes over. Naturally, this makes me want to never rake my leaves again.

    Anyway, I woke up Sunday morning and my windshield was smashed (car was in driveway). Odds it was him?

    I'd say 99 percent. Seriously, you need to get police involved and document everything. This will not end well with this type of personality unless you strike hard now.

    fuck that. shit would be on! First of all tell him to buy a fucking leaf blower. Then i would dump every single leaf from my entire property on his precious lawn. Then i'd put a hidden cam in my driveway and try to get him on tape doing something. Then i'd beat his ass within an inch of his life.

    Fucking with another mans ride is grounds for violent revenge

    put a portable fence around your property "out of fear". let leaves do they thing. when they have built up and got all stinky. release the fence 'cause you feel safe. make sure the wind is right. BBQ.
    seriously,the next time he comes over yelling. tell him to sit the fuck down and have a beer. hash it out. not like it's gonna stop.

    Your windshield is smashed? I would immed. file a police report and mail him a copy of the report. name his ass in the report as a "person of interest". it wont mean shit, but seeing his name under a police header may shut him up, if not you got him on the list. also, if you have the money, buy a mean ass dog, or a video cam. make sure this fucker knows you mean business.

    does he live alone? or have a family? how big a boy are you? if you feel froggy, call his ass out some afternoon. tell him his water usage is bullshit and his cow of a momma could use that water to drink after licking the salt.

    Something tells me we aren't getting the whole story here. People don't smash windshields for leaves falling in their yard.

    I have 0 proof it was him. Obviously I am suspicious, but it could have easily been some drunk kids. I don't even know his name and the only time I interact with him is when he complains about the leaves. So that's pretty much the whole story. We haven't had any other issues.

    He lives alone, I think. Never seen anyone else over there. Hes prob like 50 something. Rather strange looking fellow.

    I like Blonde's idea of dumping leaves on his yard. haha. Nasty's idea to have a beer and work something out is probably the right thing to do (assuming he didn't smash my windshield). But I'm not going to rake everyday when they are falling off a lot, so he's just going to have to deal with some leaves if the wind decides to blow.

    people go crazy over their yards.

    i like the idea of trying to talk with him rationally, but if he has already come over yelling it screaming it may be past this point. still, it's worth a shot if things are starting to get out of hand.

    When we were kids, there was a man like this who lived next door to my best friend. Except he was a little older, like 65ish. In sannnnnely anal about his lawn. Only time anyone ever interacted with him, was over that lawn. One day, I was driving to my friends house, with him in the car. We see three cop cars behind us, lights on, flying. We stop, and noticed they were turning in the general direction of my friends house. That was where we were headed. So, we are following them, and we see them turn on my friend's street. We get to the street, and there are more cop cars, and we aren't allowed through.

    My little brother, and my friend's little brother, and their buddies were in the alley playing basketball. The ball bounced over the chain link fence, and into the old guy's lawn. My brother hopped over to get the ball, hopped back, and they continued playing. About 30 seconds later, the old guy, Dick, came out with a gun in his hand.

    The kids all took the fuck off. Friend's mother called the police, and all the while dude is just standing in his yard, holding a gun, looking menacing. Police come. Then more police come. And dude won't give up his weapon. Honestly thought there was going to be a shootout and dude was going suicide by cop. It was nuts. But he never fired, eventually relinquished his weapon, and got 3 years in jail. He got out of prison, and since he couldnt drive anymore, we always saw him around time walking to and from the grocery store. Nobody ever spoke another word to him until he died, and a really cool new family (and by really cool, I mean hot girl my age...but father was a local police chief, so it presented a fun challenge) moved in.

    So, yeah. Careful with these kinds of old dudes. They can snap for no fucking reason.
