Safe revenge ideas for antisocial neighbours?

A family in my area has been making my life difficult after I reported concerns. I’ve done all the serious stuff, the police and council are involved and I’ve got incident numbers, but as we know these things take time.

In the meantime I would love some funny and safe ideas for petty or non confrontational “revenge” just to make myself feel less powerless. Obviously nothing illegal or involving their kids, just silly suggestions to lighten the situation a bit.

Has anyone done something harmless but satisfying to cope with antisocial neighbours?

I understand the desire to lose the powerless feeling, but revenge is really unhealthy.

You also risk complicating any police and council processes.

Focus your energy on looking after yourself.

Mash potato powder sprinkled on their lawn, when it rains it’ll be beautiful.

Not revenge but karma. I live in HA flat in a block of 5. My neighbour downstairs made my life a misery for 2 years. Loud music all times of the day and night. Having his druggy mates stay and getting arrested. Harassing me and the police getting involved. He thought because he has mental health issues he could do what he wanted. He was finally evicted. I hsve a nice new neighbour and a quiet life.

If you have access alone, slip some prawns out of sight along curtain tracks, they will stink 😂 not that I’ve done it, read somewhere when buyers upset sellers in house move .
