Rick,
I know that the first reaction is that he is an A** Hole and that sounds
like it is true, and go get him, sue the crap out of da bastard etc. But
wait a minute.
Some time back, I lived next to a nice guy but his neighbor behind him,
whose drive way ran between our houses, was an A** Hole in the first degree.
He made both of our lives living hell in our neighborhood, including mine,
who he only dis liked, not HATED! He used every letter of the law against
both of us, every week, the cops were called at least once a week, music
playing, dog barking, cat stepped in his yard, my neighbors flowers leaned
one inch over the A**H's property line and he ripped out the whole flower
bed, he honked his horn (as a warning to oncoming traffic) under my bedroom
window every morning at 6 AM, etc, etc. etc.
I am suggesting to be nice to him, no matter how hard it is, take photos and
get evidence but don't use it unless you have to. You have two goals here,
one is to get your car fixed properly and the second is to not start a
neighborhood war because they can escalate into full and open warfare that
can last the rest of your life as long as you live there. It can rip your
guts out and make Iraq look like a walk in the park!
Show your family and him that you are a bigger man than he is. Loose the
battle and win the war and live in a happy house the rest of your life.
Mine got so bad I sold and moved. My A** Hole neighbor could be seen
through his picture window at night walking around with a shot gun and
watching us with binoculars! Not worth pissing him off. IMHO!

This "business real estate" guy bought the place next door a few years ago.
Since then parking at my house has been hellish, always hard to find a place
to park even in front of my own home.
There's a drive way next to my house, between our properties, so today when
HIS customers were taking up all available spots I parked the Midget there.
So the owner of the place, lets call him "Mike", came out and backed his
white BMW right into the front of my Midget.
Really caved in the drivers side front fender from the front.
Next he comes and knocks loudly on my door and says something like "I didn't
see it, it's so low".
Now it's 5:30 PM, not raining, perfectly daylight.
His tire tracks show he backed straight into my car.
I got the distinct feeling he was pissed off at me for him backing into my
car.
He said something like "I have somewhere I have to be, so we'll deal with
this later - I have a dent n the back of my car".
I'm pretty upset right now, maybe in a while I'll be more at peace.
Rick (freaking heck) Bastedo
