I've always managed to keep my neighbours on side (apart from once). Occasionally lending tools, breaking out the jump leads, pumping up tyres etc has always helped.
Apart from once.
In my job I am occasionally required to travel. On the day in question I had a meeting in Brum and was using a hire car. Avis were to drop one at my house. They actually dropped it next door and shoved the keys through their letter box (empty house, at work all day) so they brought me another. A MKVI Escort with hideous white dials and XR3i alloys. I went to Brum, came back and parked it across the road ready for Avis to collect the next day.
The next morning. as day dawned over Bolton, I looked out of my window to see an Escort on bricks where some scrote had nicked the wheels. After swearing a lot I went to work and arranged to have the thing collected. I arrived home after a long day to be confronted by the miserable old bastard who lived across the road. There then ensued a conversation about how I shouldn't have left it there, they were his bricks they used, they came in his garden and what was I going to do about it and so on. I was younger and more mellow then, the older more jaded Keith would have gone inside got a chair and clobbered him.
There was a bonus to this though. He didn't speak to me for 3 years. If I was working on my car, he used to come and stand at the end of his garden ignoring me.

they were his bricks they used LMFAO ;D That's such a great thing to moan about! I've always been lucky with neighbours, the ones further down the road don't like us or next door because our houses are rented not bought (and because next door have got 5 kids and there's always a car in bits on my drive) but mainly because every other house is owner occupied and both of ours were bought specifically to be rented out! |

My mates neighbours moved and he was a bit worried about who would be moving in, it sold at auction then changed hands again 2 weeks later.
After 6 months of thinking these new neighbours are good the
police raided the place and found a massive canabis factory,
now it sits empty and knowone knows or can prove who owns it even better. ;D

woman across the road in her council house (same as ours but we own ours)came across and asked how much longer she would have to look at the pile of crap on my driveway (the camper  ) my reply after having my loved van belittled was quite simply "Until the council see fit to give your house to a nice family" nothing been said since and she avoids us like the plague now hahahaha |

follow up to my pregnant dog neighbour... she shopped me to the old bill for no tax on the camper after she found out it was technically ON the road as the wheels were on the pavement...
Luckily I knew the copper they sent round and he gave "I'll be back in a FEW days to see its been moved or taxed"
now she gets the cold shoulder.. and she left her lights on last night.. we sat and watched the lights dim till the sidelights went out at about 3 in the morning... even left my jump leads on the parcel shelf of the sceptre to rub it in hehehe
