To think he's so entitled?

[bloodyneighbour]

So... CF entitled neighbour problems.
His gf has recently left him (a few months ago) and she used to drive him around as he’s banned.
Since she’s left he will walk to the supermarket (about 15 mins away), get a load of crates of beer for the weekend for when his annoying mates come over, walk all the way home with his shopping trolley and dumps it on the road outside our houses.
Every week a neighbour ends up calling the supermarket to report the abandoned trolley, and usually 5 days later it’s still not collected, so one of them will end up pushing it back.
CF neighbour even cuts the chain on the trolley so he can get his £1 coin back.
I am seriously getting the rage now, that a man in his mid 20s thinks it’s acceptable to do this every week and have the neighbours running around after him to return these trolleys.
He’s a bit of a muppet and the police are at his door most weeks, so no one will confront him.
This week our 75 year old neighbour ended up pushing the trolley back to the store, as it makes the road look an absolute state with abandoned trolleys dumped there.
It’s not fly tipping apparently, as I’ve tried to go down that route, the council won’t collect them as they are the property of the supermarket and the supermarket never ends up bothering to collect them either.

To give further info, he had his banger clamped 4 times before he was banned as he used to get tax on direct debit each time it was clamped and then cancel it again as soon as they unclamped it, meaning 4 weeks later it would be clamped again.
So that was an absolute eye sore, his front garden grass is about 4 feet high, his rubbish bags split and he never picks them up, meaning all of the rest of the neighbours do.
He’s just such a bloody drain on the street.

Well he has no reason to change his behaviour as everyone is 'picking up after him' so to speak. Just leave them there, or send an anonymous note in asking him to keep the path clear. Surely it's not worth all that trouble.

Does he live in a flat or can you just keep pushing them into his front garden?

I'm assuming he's a renter so find out who his landlord is. Let the trolleys build up and push them all into his garden then take a photo and send to landlord.

Is he renting or an owner? I would be so tempted to push the trolleys up against his front door. Probably too scared to do it in really life though!

Can you speak to the other neighbours about it and come to a collective decision about how to deal with it? This could be speaking to him directly (as a group) or, if that fails, push the trollies into his garden every single time they appear on the street?

He’s not really got a front garden. Just a 3 foot strip of grass that’s like a jungle outside his front door. We can’t park the trolleys in his jungle and can’t leave them on the path outside his house as no one could get past it as the path is narrow. He dumps it on a verge on the end of our cul de sac.

He’s housing association.
Rest of the houses are privately owned.
I even have cctv of every time he’s dumped the trolleys!

What an absolute scruff! Has he got a back yard? I’d throw it over his wall.

He's an antisocial, selfish twat and there's nothing you can do about it 🤷‍♀️. Could you repeatedly tweet the store until they're shamed into collecting it? I realise it's not their fault either, though. How is it not flytipping or littering, though?!

How do you know so much detail about the DD for vehicle excise duty?? Does he brag about it?

Yeah he’s got a back yard, but 6 foot gates to get anything over! His back garden is also a jungle, so not sure he’d actually notice if we chucked his trolleys in there anyway!

Who cares if he notices?

I just presumed that was what he was doing, and asked my police officer friend why he kept getting clamped.
Apparently now you can pay by direct debit you can make the first months payment, then the dvla will unclamp your car, but if a subsequent payment bounces or is cancelled then your car is classed as untaxed again and gets clamped again.

You've got cctv and you know who he rents off, so send it to them.

You won't win, is moving an option?

Report his behaviour to the housing association and keep, reporting it, every week. They have a responsibility to make sure he behaves or is evicted

I’d love to move.
We have had our house on the market before, but it’s hard to sell when you live on the same street as an absolute scruff bag, with clamped cars, rubbish everywhere and 7 men with matching tracksuits sat on the pavement outside his house flicking cigarette butts everywhere 🤷‍♀️

Have you photographed the trolleys outside his house and contacted the supermarket? Trolleys are mighty expensive things, they have teams of people who deal with theft of and recovery of them

Complain to the housing association every single time

And you and the rest of the street need to stop cleaning up after this grown man who’s acting like a child

Yep. We’ve phoned the supermarket numerous times.
They have one van that does the whole county and collects trolleys for all the Aldi’s apparently.
So they do different towns on different days. But never seem to end up collecting ours annoyingly.

Have you reported him to the housing association? What did they say?

I am sorry you are having to live near a scum bag like this. It must feel very draining.

I don’t really know what housing association he would be with. How do you find out?
I know there’s a few HA here.

Are the supermarket staff not concerned that the man is stealing their property?

Can you print photos of him with the trollies on cctv, and show them to the store staff, so they will stop him taking them?

(Or even bar him from the store?)

Just phone each housing association, ask them to check the address to see if it’s one of theirs as you wish to domplain
