The move thing is the one solution they would like to do. But in todays climate, it's hardly a speedy solution sadly. My mrs was round there today and it was exactly what they said they wanted to do.
How bad it that, live in fear or blow loads of money trying to sell your house quickly. Boils my blood! I'm very grateful for all the comments by the way everyone! |

I hope this thread isn't wasting the time of the Chit Chat brains trust as it's all happening in somewhere like Christchurch where all the inhabitants are living in gods waiting room. Is your mate 93, his wife 89, the daughters in their 50's and the troublesome neighbour is a sprightly 78 year old who has only just moved in to the Sundown Retirement Complex?

A pal of mine had a situ like this once a couple of years back. The guy was just a thug, not a gangster or anything, just liked to throw his weight about and left many people scared to walk the neighbourhood. All the usual stuff (neds in cars outside the house, loud parties and threats to anyone who challenged them or complained).
mate sent him a letter - posing as a friendly neighbour - saying he'd been stopped by three guys who he'd never seen before at the local shops claiming that he was a mate of the thug's and he was to take him a message. Said in the letter he'd been slapped about a bit by them and to tell the thug that they were watching him as they didn't like what they had heard he'd been up to. that's really all the letter said but it seemed to work, giving the guy the feeling that he needed to spend his time concentrating on worrying about real nasties rather than being the schoolyard bully. mate moved on last year but said the thug didn't cause anyone any real grief after his letter. |

Couldn't your old army pals sort him out? I've got mates in the forces and they've got tasers at home and all sorts of sh1t.

Hearts, i don't mean to sound ungrateful, in fact i'm far from it, but the stand up and fight bit isn't an option mate
The reason i started this thread was because my wife came home from their house tonight and was very distressed for them. The words that got to me were when she said 'have you ever seen anyone thats scared, truly scared'. It's just a nightmare for them. But they are not fighters mate. In fact he's anything but, if you saw him you'd know why! |
|
By:
Hearts, I accept your point (can't not with a fellow Jambo ;-) but the point is it's not always as straightforward as that. Hollow's outlined the bigger picture and regardless of how hard and capable his mate might be it doesn't stop the biggest sap or bully in the street battering your wife, scaring your kids or smashing your car up one day. So the battle needs to be fought on a different level.

I wonder if the neighbour is a tenant of a private landlord. If so then persaude the landlord not to renew the tenancy at the next chance. Most landlords are easily frightened about being stuck with bad tenants.

sadly not getting better. All privately owned houses

I wasn't in the army munch! Apart from the fact that my mrs has told me not to get involved, i'd quite like to go round and sort it, or attempt to, but they just dont want that. Repercussions

By:
Listen not saying I'm a hard nut because I'm anything but , quite a softie as anyone who knows me will testify.
But sometimes in life you have to stand up for yourself ( flight or fight) as much as your senses tell you to run. Trust me I've stood up to some really heavy lads and all I've had after it is respect. I know its hard but I would rather take a kicking than back down these days because I know its sometimes the only way. I wish your friend well and hope it works out. |

He has 2 options imo
1. Confront the guy in a reasonable manner, seeking saaurances that his wife will not be threatened again. If he does this maybe the guy will admit he was wrong and apologise etc.Of course the guy could just beat your mate up instead, but if he did,after being spoken to reasonably, then surely the Police would have to act then and it would hopefully result in the thug going to prison. 2.As said earlier, move away. |

Your local council have power over this kind of anti social behaviour , has nobody contacted them ?
If he made a threat to kill then that is a criminal offence and it seems incredible that the police wont get involved . |
|
By:
think there are 2 ways to go about this.
one way is through the system, get evidence, proceed through the courts etc. then again an asbo or something similar isn't going to be any good if his mate or the missus ends up face to face with the knut in a dark alley and no witnesses. through the system make take a long time and the major disadvantage is something serious will probably need to happen before any significant action is taken. the other way is to get a few pounds together and pay two chaps to engineer a situation where mr bully boy winds up very much worse for wear. its no good just sending round the boys because he will put 2 and 2 together, has to be something seen as a chance encounter. then while he is recovering from a broken arm pop round and have a "chat". at the end of the day someone has to move. so you either move away, put him away for 4-5 or make him move away. |

As stated above, I am sure that the council have quite wide ranging powers over this, even if it is a private house.
Also, it's very easy to give it the 'I'd kick the $hit out of him' or 'I know people who would/did do this'. Well, I know people who would quite willingley, because they are complete cvnts, kick the $hit out of the fella if he went round threatening him (even though that's what they do) or do the same and wor$e to whoever ganged up and 'sent a message'. That's not to say there aren't certain people who should be fronted up to when they behave like this but it's very easy to wave your c0ck around on an internet forum and tell other people to do your fantasy work. You had just better hope that when they follow your 'Rambo' advice they aren't doing it with the wrong tw@t. Meanwhile, you are still sat at home w@nking in your underpants over a truck driver on the chit chat forum..... |

And when I say wor$e, I mean a lot worse.

What would VICTOR MELDREW do in this situation ?
There's your answer ;) |

By:
Suss out over a period of time when hes at his most vulnerable & he will have these moments i:e when he goes to the pub does he walk home alone at all.Hit him at one of these times & hit him hard with whatever you need to, make sure you bally yourselves up dark gear frighten the living sh#t out of him dont utter a word.Hes likely to have so many enemies he wont know where to start in terms of a culprit.He is a slink & unfortunately that is the only way to deal with his ilk feeding off peoples fear.
He may go to the old bill doubt theyll do house to house inquiries or investigate it too thoroughly though if hes such a cu nt. Its the only way stand up & be counted IMHO |

go on holiday to amsterdam and start posting him poorly wrapped parcels with concealed drugs inside. (Or kiddie porn mags)
Meanwhile get your mate tO anonymously complain to the police that there are lots of druggie types keep visiting him. Could even throw a few drugs into his garden ready for the sniffer dog to find when hes raided Thats just one idea , there are loads of entertaining ways to make his life a misery , and as hes the sort of person who will of**ed everyone off he unlikely to suspect you |
