Q: What's the best way to handle an invasive/dangerous neighbor ?
My neighbor throw large & heavy objects/rubbish into my backyard, talks & police didn't help. It was their son (mentally-challenged?) who needs more & closer supervision, his parents seemed NOT doing enough to prevent these "incidents" to happen. They damaged our plants, beddings...besides the littering to be taken care of. We've even canceled our July/4th vacation 'cause worries coming back with more destructions. We're afraid the situation would eventually worsen, becomes violent & someone will get hurt! Please advise & HELP!!!!

A:
more info needed
if the police don't help, consider a civil lawsuit with a lawyer OR a small claims suit for up to $10k without a lawyer.
a $10k judgment will get their attention

A: Hire an attorney to send your neighbor a letter to resolve the problem. If you are unsuccessful then consider the other options stated by the other attorneys.
