Better yet, tell him you had already sold all of your bags of leaves to someone (on the rich side of town) and were happy to have extra leaves to sell as they wanted more.

Our neighbors and I have the same situation. They have a ton of plum trees that drop leaves and tree sprouts in our yard, and we have english ivy that grows through the fence into their yard. They also have black berry vines that are constantly creeping onto our side through the fence. Our neighbors mentioned to us to feel free to pull any plum tree sprouts that pop up in my yard. I thought to myself, "duh, its my yard, I'll pull them if I want to", but chose to use that as an oppurtunity to mention to them to feel free to wack any of our ivy that pops through. So far, things are just fine. I even trim the tree limbs of their trees that hang over into our yard, since it blocks light to some of my plants. They haven't said anything yet. I feel that if it is my yard, it is my responsibility. Of course, I never do any kind of trimming that would damage the tree, just lanky limbs. Maybe talk to the neighbors about trimming the limbs on their side. Now, if they enjoy the shade that this tree brings to them in the summer, but then hate the leaves in the fall, they need to make a decision as to whether to trim the tree or deal with the leaves themselves. I would never rake up a bunch of leaves and dump them on my neighbors yard, unless I had talked to the neighbors numerous times about trimming the tree or something. Some people just don't say anything, let the resentment build up, then do something a little rediculous, like this. I'd suggest asking them if they would like the limbs trimmed, either they do it, or you could help, or deal with the leaves. Good luck!
