You know, in this case- I would probably do nothing. The guy sounds like he is not playing with a full deck. It's easy for all of us to tell you to throw caution to the wind and retaliate against him, but there are a lot of nutcases in this world. If the police have already been contacted and he STILL is persisting, I would proceed carefully. Some people in this world are just looking for a fight. It doesn't sound like doing something to him is going to result in him stopping. It may just make matters worse. Sometimes you have to pick your battles. Most *normal* people would A) Not let their dog go on someone else's property and B) Stop when warned by the police. Since the police didn't phase him, I highly doubt you will. Think about your safety first and foremost. After all, obviously he knows where you live.

Only you know your situation and the "vibe" you get from the guy. Does he seem like he is going to stop if you escalate the situation? If not, I would probably just suck it up and ride it out. If you can do a fence, do it. Knowing he is getting a reaction out of you and your neighbors may be part of what is feeding his behavior to begin with.

Good point.....

I have one guest that comes to the house about every 2 months and all he wants is little "banty" eggs as he calls my pullet eggs when hens just started laying. But he never comes to the door. He just wanders around and especially loves to pet all the cats and admire the garden....

The first time I saw him I about fell over myself because he was standing 2 feet from the door playing with a cat and I didn't know he was there. When I brought him the normal eggs, he wanted to be sure that I didn't have anything smaller....He laughed and said he liked to eat 4 eggs for breakfast and this way he could tell every one he ate 12 eggs if he got the little ones....Well, that was when I had my OEBG so I could indulge him...He also asked for things I don't have for sale, so I just give them to him....Like to you have bread for sale with those eggs.....He usually gets biscuits, Occasionally a loaf of bread whatever's there. Once he really needed mayonnaise and I made the mistake of saying homemade or jar from the store and he said homemade.....HA, so I made him some.

He wants to bring me a banty so he can get little eggs again.... He's a sweet man and he brings me to a deep appreciation of the world as he usually pays in pennies and nickels and occasionally takes back one that he calls purty nice, you reckon I can get that one back and give you another one.

I miss my friend and haven't seen him since October. The next time he comes over, I'll have to see if he'll share his name. He tells me I remind him of his Mother,,,,,,,and he tells me he's not too smart but he sure likes being on the farm and that his Mother used to have one like this one....it was old and run down round the heels as he called it....I'm just smiling remembering him....

Hope to see him soon.....

Just call me Blessed....................

Sounds like he is casing the place for robbery or criminal behaviors!

You can't live in fear either. Face the problem head on. Talk to him about the problem. If it get's ugly, GET UGLY BACK!

True. But there is nothing wrong with returning property to the rightful owner. I would have loved to have done that to the idiot who discarded a well filled baby diaper in the parking lot where I stepped on it getting out of my car.

No, I cant live in fear. Anyway, right now I am more angry with the situation than scared.

Picture is worth a thousand words. Definitely catch the jerk. Also enlist the neighbors. Have EVERYONE work together as a community to get rid of a community problem. May not makes this guy like you, but it could improve your relationship with the GOOD neighbors!!

In the meantime, buy a LOT of pepper and put it in the route dear old doggy takes. He gets a snootful of that and dear old owner might just get a present on his shoe in the ensuing sneezefest. Now THAT I'd love to see on video... hehe.
