I would build a big, messy compost pile right near the property line. Then add his leaves to it; or tell him to feel free to add them. Can't tell you how good it is not to have neighbors like that.
LEAF WARS!!! (If you have feuds w/ neighbors over leaves, etc)

We've been in our house in our subdivision for 17 years and let me just say that the past 3 years or so has been the PITS! I am so looking for a house on at least 3 acres of land, completely in the middle of nowhere (I wish.) Neighbors all around us have been feuding and my kids try to be friends with all their kids because I have told them they are not to take sides, they are to remain neutral. But the tension and the pettiness and immaturity that has been going on around here these past years.........

Here's something you might try:
Line up chairs on the property line and invite some friends over
to watch Mr. Leaf Guy. Get a keg and get your friends blasted.
He'll stop.

Maybe try calling the city and asking about the noise ordinance? Maybe that will keep him from doing that too early.
I would put up a fence. Or get a leaf blower of my own and wait until he goes to work.
Maybe a nice pile on his porch would teach him a lesson. Oh don't forget a note with something like "you didn't want the leaves, who says I want them."

I like Purple Chicken's idea. Make sure you're playing Leaf Man's LEAST favorite music at top volume while you and your friends turn him into "entertainment" man.
I can talk about this all night. I am lucky enough to live on a private road and everone is family. We live right beside my sister-in-law. Her husband is a neat freak. He washes this vehicles every day. He mows his yard like 4-5 times on Saturday. He starts on the highest setting and mows it. He then lowers it to the next setting and then the next and next until he gets t as low as he wants. It should take him 30 minutes to mow but it takes him hours and hours because he mows it so many times.
He is obsessive copulsive In the Fall he will blow his leaves pretty much every day. Well insted of blowing them into a pile and burning them or bagging them he just blows them into my yard on our side of the house and into the woods on the other side. I have no trees. I should have little to no leaves to get up. I end up having to rack and burn leaves or till them into the garden.
His dogs would poo in our yard. They did not use his yard. I got tired of stepping in huge mounds of dog poo every time I went outside. The kids would step all in it. So I started scooping it up and placing it in a bucket. When the bucket was full I would go dump it in his drive way. After a while he got the point and he kept his dogs up.
They built their house first and put their house about 10 foot 3 inches off our property line. We did not say a word because they are family. When we built our house I planted a row of leland cypress trees between the two houses becaue we were pretty close. I did not put it on the line. I put them about half way between us. He did not like the idea. He said he wanted to be able to see his kids get on the bus from his house. SO he sprayed 2 of the trees with round up. I can't prove it but they died in less than a week. I replanted and he sprayed them agian. SO I did not plant them back. I guess he won.
They put in a pool behind their house. My SIL works the nightshift at the hospital on the weekends. She sleeps during the day on Saturday and SUnday. THe kids all go swimming on Saturday. He fusses at them for being too loud . He will send my kids home and his kids inside if they get too loud. Well one Saturday I heard him fussing at the kids for being too loud and finally he sent mine home and his inside. About 30 minutes later he fires up the leaf blower and starts blowing off the cement around the pool. I walk over and ask him why he would send the kids home for being too loud but then a few minutes later fire up a leaf blower right next to the bedroom window? He did not have much to say. I guess he got the point because he has not sent them home since for being too loud.
My oldest son has a 4-wheeler. I do not allow him to drive him their yard because he complains when he does. Well the next year they buy their son a 4 wheeler. They do not allow him to ride it in their yard. They send him down to my yard to ride. I did not say anything for a long time. I didn't bother me until I heard him jump all over my son for riding up in his yard to park it and go inside their house. He jumped all over him about riding it thru their yard. The next time his son was maping laps around my house I walked out asked him if he could go back home and ride in his yard. He siad dad won't let me ride in our yard. He told him to come to my house to ride. I told him to go back home and ride in his yard and if his dad had a problem with it he could come talk to me about it. Well he had a problem and headed my way. He said did you tell my son to ride in our yard? I said yes I did. He said I don't allow him to ride in our yard. I said so you send him to ride in mine but not yours? You want him to kil my grass but not yours? I have not heard anything about it since.
I have to be civil because they are family.

Ouch, family .... uh... 'nuf said? I love my family, but then they all live in PA
Darin- Well I guess that just shows that it doesn't matter who your neighbors are -family or not- they can be a pain!
My parents neighbor has a horse that sometimes gets out and come on our lawn... We just call her and two seconds later she stands on her front porch and yells "Keya!" (sp) and the Keya toddles back home. It's funny, and we don't care about the lawn much. Oh, the horse will only go poo in one place, so she's never gone on the grass.

See now here's the thing. If your feuding over this how is it we can't understand this war in Iraq?
Why not ask him why he's blowing the leaves into your yard? Maybe he's upset over something. Ask him point blank what can I do to get you to stop?
You could put up a low fence. If your on this post do you have a garden?
Set up a three sided compost bin near to the vacinity and get your own leaf blower and blow the leaves into it.
One thing is for sure retaliation won't help.
If you can't get a peaceful solution get a video camera and make a series of videos showing him doing this repeatedly and then show it to the authorities.

Sad thing is today in our county a guy shot and killed another man his (Neighbor) fueding over silly things like leafs and pets being on each others property. Very sad indeed....I always watch the news and sit there shaking my head on what people do to each other over the silliest of things. It really hits home when it happens so close to you. I have problems with my Neighbor but was happy things worked out in a Civil manner. It just saddens me how we treat each other now and days.
