I'd never question anyone on disability as I know how difficult it is to be approved for it. I wasn't putting him down in that regard .

I am not saying anything about him claiming disabillity in a wrong scenario. What I am suggesting is that him being unable to work for a long time has made him a pain in the ass neighbour. However If I said "My unemployed neighbour...." Imagine the **** storm that would cause. I said he was on Disability so people would attack him for being "unemployed" If I said he was just a neighbour people would say " JAYSUS does he not work" If I didn't say he was Disability, people would say " Oh maybe fancies you" By saying he is on Disability is just creating a context and it is only a judgement in you the person who presumes its a bad thing. I don't . Its a conext, and describes the situation . And as it describes the situation it cannot be untrue. And again , I can't deal with people who argue over such issues . Its pedantic and bull

Maybe it is relevant to the story but so far, I just don't see how it's relevant.

The first thing he tells me is that he is on disability and he pays something lile 13 euro a week rent. So thats cool. Means nothing to me. Then he starts laying down the law of the land . Started off fairly normal . He was complaining about the other neighbours etc. But now its gone to a new level. Anytime I have a "late night" my car is scratched up a little bit more. Last Sunday , it was an awesome BBQ day, so we had people over and had music playing etc throughout the day, as did many neighbours. The next day my car was keyed from front to back. I am not saying it is this guy next door, but one of the other neighbours met me on the street last Sunday and she said that he had complained to her about the direction of smoke from the BBQ. Her BBQ not mine. I own my house outright . I am not moving because of a busy nody next door neighbour Will I tell him ?

The ones that go all " Oh but you said it in this fashion or that fashion" are clearly the ones from primary school with their finger on their lips hopping off the seat when the teacher is looking for someone to take something to the office. I'd be like, take it yourself

Peregrinus wrote: » Possibly it has. But so what? It doesn't matter whether he's a pain in the arse. It only matters whether he is keying your car. Instead of trying to identify somebody who is likely to be keying your car and looking for evidence that it is him, what you should be doing is trying to find out who is keying your car. Which probably means parking it in a spot from which it can be seen by an appropriately-located webcam, and then reviewing footage to see who has approached it if it is scratched again. This strategy does not depend on you successfully guessing who might be guilty.
