If you are LAPD come on up and let invite them for a party.
Different agency, but I know people everywhere. Again, their behavior is not a crime, but they are knotheads. Move their cans back to where they belong or put them on the sidewalk in front of their house, if there is a sidewalk. Make it as inconvenient to them as possible without crossing the line.

Watch the movie "Lake Forrest" and get some ideas. Be smart.

This reminds me of a story where a friend's parents were driving down the main strip in a nearby beach town. They were an older senior couple, soft spoken and proper. Think of the old man and his wife in the movie "up"

They came to a stoplight. In the road was a grocery bag next to where they had stopped. The old man opened his car door and picked up the bag, opened it, and found it to be full of old dildos.

"Honey, what's in the bag?" the wife asked.
"It's a bag of Do's" the husband replied.


What you need is a good used source for "Do's". Place one in the bottom of his can every week after it is emptied by the city.

Thats the difference between people who's time and aggravation isn't worth anything versus the rest of us.

People will let all sorts of irritations plague them for a lifetime.
$100 bucks for a letter to show your serious often stops this nonsense in its tracks.

Here is my typo ridden draft of a letter:

We have been retained by our client to address the trash can issue

Please refrain from placing your cans in front of property xxx or we will be forced to take further action

Govern yourselves accordingly!


====

I’d send some thing like that


...either that or I’d install a lawn sprinkler with a motion sensor

Week one remove wheels and throw them in container prior to arrival of the garbage truck
Week two put PUR insulation foam in empty container after garbage truck came by

There will not be a week 3

Then he empties the crap on your land.

Put PUR foam in it, that way they can't empty it.
PUR weighs nothing and they won't be able to dump it either..

WTF?
Nice way? Ron, you know me, I don't ruffle feathers unless I must but usually I am always civil about it. Getting pissed off, screaming never gets anything done. You met my wonderful wife. She screams and yells at me often, so you see anything getting done around the house?

Green house with the white bay window and the brown wooden gate is my house. My cans are behind those gates, shaded dark section, not the sun lid part. That's the fence I build to keep their trash on their side. Dumbass neighbor's cans are behind the green gate with a metal arch on top, right of our of wooden gate (pic 3). They like pull their trash cans out and drag it down hill line it all up in front of my house instead of putting them in front of their garage(I like to know why but was given a dumb answer). We place our trash cans on the sidewalk in front of my gate. Instead of dragging their cans up hill, maybe it takes too much effort, they just pull them down, bypass my trash cans and sit them in front of my bay window which is where my kitchen is. The house up the hill with the white garage door is my rental. They built an outdoor shower with a little deck and a staircase that's of my property (pic 2). Their property ends there the big red deck ends. That big tree sits on my side. These people seem to thinks that if it isn't being used, its ok to built on someone's property ans claim it theirs. The ratty fence wooden fence was put up by the previous owner (my rental) to keep people from falling over into the neighbor's. That's not the property line.

Last pic, my other dumb ass neighbor, absentee owner, refused to repair (need new, no footing) that retaining wall that failed. The recent rain has eroded more soil onto my renter. I put up that black metal fence to prevent concrete block from hurting anyone or her little girl should it fall over. Its about 5' tall. I hate irresponsible people.

Most of the house is on the down slop and the property runs all the way down to the bottom of the canyon and we have no back yard neighbors. We tirelessly (on all our properties) try and maintain all trees and brushes and do not let any of the limbs go over to our neighbor's yards. Its the right thing to do (and to prevent lawsuits). I only wish they would do half that.

Narrow street. Notice my truck takes up 30% of the width of the street. No parking on our side of the street from dumb ass neighbor's downward because another vehicle wouldn't be able to get through the turn.

wod
NO

I know Calgary pretty well and visit my relatives often. Aren't you just at the edge of the city? I remember you mentioned that you ride your bike in Nosehill Park. That's just outside your backyard. You guys keep building those high rise condos and they are going up all over the place, this crap will be coming to your city very soon.

How many cans? Looks to me like if he pullled directly straight to the street, isn’t that enough room?

If he needs an extra foot or so, would you pull your cans downhill 3 feet so he can go straight out?
