With that many houses that close together you can’t possibly be naive enough to think you wouldn’t have an issue with anyone. Beautiful home for sure, but damn they are built right on top of the next.

The houses themselves are pretty far apart (the casita made ours pretty close to the wall for sure), but his yard had plenty of room and no need to put the hoop there

As did everyone else. I'm all for a bit of fun in regard to mischief, but when it bothers everyone...

I can't say I would have done that. You are going to make enemies with everyone, and the ball player is going to come out on top. Choose your battles and the appropriate attack carefully.

If I were you, I'd either:

1 - Risk long-term issues and get pissed for real with him and demand something happen NOW.

or

2 - Put up my own net so as not to have long-term issues with the neighbor.


Do not call the cops...sheesh

The clear action here is a gate that prevents access to the side yard and a no trespassing sign. Position camera to capture both wall and gate. After that call the police and share video as evidence if the neighbor hops the wall and/or gate to retrieve said ball.

To be honest, it was a good laugh but it didn’t make me feel any more even. I just don’t operate that way as a considerate person.

I know that may come off a little “douchey” and I didn’t really mean for it to. You seem like a solid guy and I hate for anyone to have to deal with that kind of bs, but I can’t help but be curious as to why you wouldn’t want to purchase/build a home a little more rural.

The area is really good with families. After 11 years of infertility we finally had our daughter in January. Just wanted a good neighborhood for her to grow up in, and it’s been great except for this minor i inconsiderate neighbor

Lmao! You’ve got “neighborhood seniority” so the new guy shouldn’t place his hoop where he wants on HIS property?

I’d tell you to eat a shit covered d1ck.

And for what it’s worth, your real beef is with the shitty builder that apparently used garbage stucco. How on earth does a basketball cause your house to crack. Ah hahahahaha ha

You sound a lot like my neighbor lol.
As mentioned, the only point I was making with it being the first house is he could be considerate when deciding his layout. My house didn’t just appear after the fact.
I know you’re not a big fan of me, that’s cool. Have a nice day.

So everyone that said its okay for the placement of the hoop and the ball coming over on a regular occurence are cool if they were in OP's shoes? You mean you guys are okay with a neighbor hitting your house all the time with a basketball? Damage or not my house isnt a backboard. I wouldnt be cool with it but i also wouldnt be texting the guy my issue. Id knock on his door and tell him the next ball going over the wall should be considered destroyed followed by any others until there is a solution to the problem.
Im glad i got out of our neighborhood when we did 13 years of neighbors after 5 without sucked. Only issue we have now are the idiots a couple acres away let their dogs run and we both live on a sharp obstructed view turn and the dogs are on the road alot. I just feel bad for the dogs.

I’m good talking with him face to face, but texting I felt was a good way to document the conversation. It’s time stamped, and very clear vs he said she said

For what it's worth, I know how friggin annoying the sound of a basketball is. My neighbor's son used to play basketball at 2am. Thmp. Thmp. Thmp. Kadoonk.. THMPthmpthmpthmpthmp.. thmp... ... ... ... ... Thmp. Thmp. Thmp.

You can have legal fun with this. The guy obviously isn't your friend. Go buy some junk plywood and make a fence extension. Paint it neon green, purple, etc and have that side face his property.

Or, plant a bunch of prickly pear cacti on that side of your house. If they throw the basketball over, have fun! Even if they get the basketball, they won't want to touch it ever again.

Or, put a steering wheel club through the center of the basketball hoop.

That would be hilarious. JB weld everything together also.

Or he could learn from my neighbors.
1) Get a diesel tractor and run it 4-5 hours every afternoon
2) Get a bunch of nasty cats that go over and crap in his yard, shred his lawn furniture, jump on cars, etc daily
