    AAAGH! i've been ignoring all the knocking this afternoon but my opposite neighbour managed to catch my eye while i was in the utility and motion to me to come out - she's been knocking to try and let me know he's only gone and spray painted no parking on my side wall!!

    I'd say that's a very clear cut case of graffiti for which he should be prosecuted. Call the police in the morning.

    I hope your call with the police was called ahead of him damaging your wall.

    I think you should be suggesting the police take this seriously from know on.

    Your neighbours have witnessed his repeated efforts to harass you.

    Are you keeping a lot of dates, times and how many times he knocks etc?

    Couple of no parking cones should do the trick, surely?

    I do hope neither you nor he are planning to sell any time soon, because this will have to be declared as a neighbour dispute.

    The police refused to come out citing a 'civil dispute'

    I argued that was not the case especially with the knocking and bell ringing when he knows it's not us. They still didn't come out but i did get a call back from one of the ladies as they had called and spoken to him.

    Apparently he didn't spray paint my wall.

    "It was a random act of kindness from someone how has obviously seen what's been going on with the parking in the lane" he doesn't condone it but can see why they might have done it.

    *fuming*

    Haven't you a phone or other device on which to to record the next bout of harrassment?

    That's if you paint your wall to remove the graffiti, because he's bound to bounce back again if you do.

    You can get special stuff to clean graffiti off, plus anti-graffiti paint to go on afterwards. There is an inexpensive one here.
