About 2 weeks ago my brother was here and we were piddling with my 72 and the stepson of the man that owns the land next to mine came wandering out of the woods and asked if i had seen anyone down there. Itold him that the week before i did see a car in the drive one nightabout 10 but thought it was him. He had found some hamburger wrapper or something and asked me to stop if i saw anyone else there. Neighborly is one thing but pulling into a drive, that is all there is, no house, lights anything,. is another. I told him that i was really not in the mood to get shot to which he said "just pull in and step out of the truck and ask what they're doing" to which i replied "when i stepout is when i'll get shot and that tends to mess up your whole day". Keep in mind I live a mile off the hiway on a dirt road with a lot of hunting and probably poaching so the odds of them NOT having a gun is not good. Bulletts tend to make me leak, and leaks of any kind usually not good.

I live 1/2 off the road, 12 miles from town, and 6 miles from my nearest neighbor. Nobody complains about anything I do. LOL

PS I would frame that napkin!!

The neighbour coulda done any number of things including calling the cops, flattening his tires, parking in front of his driveway so he couldn't leave, but instead they chose to leave a note in the mailbox. You CAN'T get much nicer than that. You don't get the discomfort of talking directly from either end - the neighbor gets their point across, the owner of the truck is notified, no harm, no folly, no lawsuits, no cops, no harassment.

Talk to some of the guys on this forum with nutbag neighbours - there have been many posts about this in the last year. He obviously has kind and considerate neighbors for not making a ruckus to notify him and actually trying to contact him before a lawyer, the city or an officer of the law.


By bringing "federal law" into the matter (assuming that's a legit piece of info), you're really only clouding the matter at hand, really. I don't understand why you included that tidbit, it doesn't really support your case at all.

I'll make two points here:

It's almost not safe to confront people anymore without getting into a fist fight or shot.

It's possibly against the law to have loud/noisy vehicles depending on sound ordinances in your area.

Yes, putting ANYTHING in a mailbox that wasn't delivered by the USPS is illegal, which is regulated by the federal Gov. therefore a federal offense. I was merely trying to state that if the neighbor wanted to be an ass he could be one right back and get him in trouble for putting stuff in mailboxes illegally.

Man, you can really take a statement and twist the living hell out of it sometimes but it's all good entertainment
