My bloody neighbour!

[Patrickstarisabadbellend]

My neighbour is one if those who constantly buy new gadgets.

A couple of weeks ago he came home with a little helicopter thing with a camera on it.

He's constantly flying it over our gardens and filming us! He casually mentioned things that he has seen in my and my neighbours gardens.

I feel like taking it off him and smashing it. I love the privacy of my garden and I feel like he's being a selfish git.

Myself and my neighbours have told him to stop flying over our properties but he insists he's allowed as we down own the airspace

Aibu to stick it up his arse?

Btw, if it has a camera then it is being used for surveillance purposes.

Have you got an old sheet? Write 'mind your own business' on it and spread it out in your garden.

THIS. Except I'd write 'Fuck off Mr X' on it.

He keeps putting his bins out on the road when his wife goes to work. He then brings them back in 5 minutes before she's due home.

Then he stands in the parking spot until she arrives. He was out there in a cagoule last night at 10:10 in the pouring rain.

He's gone mad.

Ooh. You learn something new every day. Thank you Brian!

Scroll down to Airspace

Get a bb gun.
Use it on the camera helicopter or your neighbour

I think I might speak to the pcso and hopefully he will stop doing it.

My dp wants to moon him

Call 101. I hope he gets arrested.

He has gone mad.

I have a feeling that local bye laws usually forbid you to put bins out on the main road only on the pavement the night before collection day - or whatever it is in your neighbourhood. If he persists, have the local council on him.

I'd be practising my aim with a water pistol.... filled with liquid paint.

You could have fun with he bins though....moving them down the street? Hiding them behind cars. Get your neighbours to join in...they sound pissed off with him too.

I usually roll my eyes at the 'Call 101' suggestions on MN but on this occasion, yes, call 101. He is not allowed to use what amounts to a surveillance camera on his neighbours.

Tell him to take up golf or fishing like normal bored retirees.

If I owned your place, I'd be hard pressed not to apply for planning permission to turn it into an adult sauna and massage parlour. (With him being notified as a near neighbour of course.)

That wouldn't be very constructive though.

Get ALL your neighbours to run outside and stand next to him and follow him around when he moves the bins and tries to save the car space.
For added amusement you could all sing and dance.

Agree with "accidentally" shooting it with a high powered water pistol, lobbing a football at it or the "FUCK OFF NOSY" sign. He sounds a total pain in the arse.

I'd get some of the family 6 footers and move the bins - putting a car in the space vacated. Actually, he may find that that happens anyway.

MOON HIM! MOON HIM!!!! Do it

Totally. Weirdo.

Buy your own chopper from eBay and take his out when it flies over ala Robot Wars. Claim it's your new hobby.

Put something really heavy in his bins so he can't move them cement would be good - just add water

He's a knob - 101 is an excellent idea

And you really need to be dressing up in weird costumes in your garden druids or witches would be good or going nude shame summer's over

You can get drones that can shoot pellets, get one of those & blast him out the sky.

Out of interest, what doe his wife have to say about all of this - do you ever talk to her?

You do have rights over the airspace. Can give you the case law if you like. What a knob!

use Halloween decorations to stage a brutal murder in your garden

seriously, dig a shallow grave in your flowerbed.

I would like to see him explain how he seen that to the police

I seem to recall reading that shining a laser pen into the lens of the camera on these little copters buggers the camera completely.
A more passive method perhaps?

I'd call 101 too.

Deliberately flying a model helicoptor over people's gardens to spy on them is unacceptable.
