I know many of you can easily top this, so what’s the worst your neighbors have done, or are you the ones revving up the cars at midnight? Ha ha. I’ve tried to be patient on this one but it’s getting annoying
Should I:
1. Call police and get it documented, get involved legally
2. Wait for him to put up a net as requested (too much to ask him to stop playing in the meantime?)
3. Do nothing

Unfortunately, you're going to have to be a dick. People don't care about anything other then their stuff. When he breaks a car window, then you are the bad guy because you gave him a repair bill.

Yep.

How long has this been going on? When did you first notify him of the issue (maybe I missed it in the video). If it has been a week, give it some time. If it has been a month or longer, its time to be an asshole about it, especially since it has cracked your stucco.

I would get someone out to the house to give you an estimate on repairing the stucco and give it to him. **** this shit. I wouldn't play any games. This asshat is aware that it is an issue and has had time to address it, but he doesn't care. Time to play hardball.

Next step would be doing burnouts in his driveway with your SY Cobra...everyone knows it is the best color. :)

not at my post...
gdman your neighbor is a hoss and can't shoot a basketball for shit. I am going to recommend you eat your wheaties before fight him...and by that I mean a base of testosterone along with some trenbolone and a high protein diet for next 4-6 weeks.

In all seriousness **** this guy, you could get repair estimates and confront him, or perhaps try notifying your hoa, though I doubt they do shit. I hate to say get a lawyer, but if you know one you might just consult on your legal options.

Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t see how a bouncing basketball can be cracking stucco.

Is the stuff that brittle that a basketball that isn’t being thrown directly at it can cause cracking?

If so, screw that material.

I don't have nearly the patience you do. But he clearly doesn't give a rats a* about you or your property. I have a neighbor who used to love to get drunk and be super loud at night and well into the morning. I could only deal with that once... It doesn't happen anymore. Anyhow, good luck!

Also no ball, no issue. Let him see you doing some woodworking outside. Next time a ball comes over put a small hole it say you don't know what happened.

Gives you a position where he knows you did but not really since you can blame it on something else. Repeat the process as necessary. Put no more thought into it. Let it come to head amd remind the ****** that there are ways to avoid this by not having the ball come over onto your property.

These can actually be fun opportunities and allow for a break in the monotony of life. It's all about manipulating those around you to behave as you want.

Do you golf? A hundred tee-shots with a driver towards his house might change his tune.
I also like the idea of locking your gate so they can't come get the ball(s). Then just donate them to the local Boys and Girls club, or something similar.

Tren A and test is also another more direct way of dealling with the issue. But will likely have you going overboard and ending up doing a little extra lol

Tell him to cut it out, either by moving the hoop or learning how to throw a ball, and you will be giving him the bill for the stucco. You seem like a nice guy and he's taking that as a weakness. It helps you have it on camera. If my ball was consistently hitting my neighbors house I would apologize, tell them I'd stop, and feel obligated to fix the damage if I had done any. All of which he hasn't done. Be firm but polite, you don't want this to ruin the relationship with your neighbor (I assume).

Yes, enough contact from a basketball can crack and destroy stucco.

You are just being way too nice about this. Before you talk with him again, put on a boonie hat and gargle with some hydrogen peroxide, this will cause the moisture in your mouth to foam like crazy. Now you're ready to address the issue with him, say this..............."Hey Cleetus, look here muther ****er, I've tried to be nice about this but your dense ****ing brain can't seem to comprehend. Move the B Ball contraption in the direction of your house or get ready some unpleasant bullshit". Follow it up with an estimate to fix the side of your house.

I am not looking forward to moving. My wife and I are house hunting, and I am likely going to find myself in a subdivision. I will feel like a caged animal.

With that being said; I will take my neighbors into concern before being loud, or by working outside at odd hours through the night. I expect the same courtesy.

I had a neighbor issue that ended up in court due to reasons much larger than a basketball or car. He has 20 acres, and I am currently on 10. Let's just say that people a mile or more away have said thank you for me standing up to the annoyance.

A basketball constantly bouncing would drive me insane. I was at CV355 's place working on music this weekend and his neighbor that does nothing but landscaping all day had me ready to disable his lawn tractor and pressure washer.

Go in your back yard and play Jarts (the original ones, not the pussified versions that came later) a couple of times and be loud saying "nice shot" or " holy crap, Jarts are fun" such that he can hear you. Throw them over the fence a few times while hes' playing basketball then just nonchalantly walk onto his property and say "oopsie" and then pick them up and walk away.


Seriously, this may get ugly. Be smart, and play to win on all fronts.
