How do you handle this neighbor?

[herr_oberst]

Every time "Bob" takes off in his airplane, gather the neighbors and do maintenance on the runway. Make sure there is plenty going on when he has to land again.

(Of course, it's my observation, (My dad lived on an runway) that there are a lot of folks who never ever fly again once they live in an airpark)

BE911SC... I moved here two years ago; bought a house in the park, and moved my businesses here. Unless I win a lotto mega jackpot, I cannot move.

Oss... thanks. Some of the neighbors have started videotaping his antics.

As others have said document every bit of his weirdness.

I can't believe that there is no police agency that isn't interested in a guy that's off the wall, who buys explosives and owns a airplane.

A chainsaw would make short work on the flagpole with the camera on it......

You would be shocked to find out just how common these crazies are. That being said the local police no doubt already know about this guy but there is nothing they can do preemptively. Unfortunately there are no laws against being a jackass, if there were Webb would have died in San Quentin decades ago.

Sorry, that was wrong... all in good fun

Bob will be dead inside of a year. Taunting a man who has nothing to lose isn't wise.

Just take him out & kick his ass, simple as that, have the other neighbors swear that he attacked you..
You could also put a few pounds of pot in his plane & report him to the DEA

I feel for you. My first house had a Crazy neighbor. I moved. I would have moved even without the neigbhor but it was the reason that prompted me. He is well known in the community. And well despised.

As for advice? I think Jay needs to document and file a restraining order. Perhaps a civil suit for stalking / harassment? Not certain of the statues.

thats what i was thinking. i hate HOA's, will never live in one, but, if they can sue you over not cutting your grass, it may be what you need.

i work for the FAA as an electronics tech at MYR.

dont let him cut the grass.

In SC, not even freaking close. The whole neighborhood having restraining orders wouldn't get that effect. Honestly, I doubt the whole neighborhood getting restraining orders would even get his CWP revoked.

First, I'd build a wall out of concrete block (good fences and all that) and then go to the hardware store to try to find some discounted paint. Baby Poo Yellow should do the job.

Would it be possible to call a meeting with all the other residents, found an association and adopt some strict by-laws? From what I get out of it you will have a majority.

No idea if this is legally possible, just my 0,02 cad$

We currently have a property attorney looking into the C&R issues. We are hoping that fixing that issue will lead to fixing other issues.

Also, on the 21st we will be removing the concrete platform where the VASI was previously mounted. We don't want that liability magnet ever going back on the property.


Yesterday, Jay went out to mow his lawn. Bob took his golf-cart out to the taxiway and shadowed Jay the whole time. To me, the guy is looking to provoke a fight. And I think Jay should consult with an attorney about any harassment and stalking laws in SC. Still, as mentioned, restraining orders are pretty useless.

Paging Cousin Guido....please pick up the white courtesy phone....

[afterburn 549]

So it bothers you he mows in no particular order ?
Who needs help here ? LOL

[cashflyer]

No, it bothers me that he mows in no particular order while his mower deck is deliberately set so low as to damage the grass.

[Joe Bob]

Setting up a Joint Powers Association that handles all the services is something you should look into. You can handle waste, water, power, gas and local authority....hell you can even appoint a constable.

All it costs is assessments.....may or may not be offset by opting out of local services. Depends on how deep the pockets are of the owners.....

I agree. Bob needs to be stopped and it seems Jay might just be the one to is going to end up doing it..................unfortunately

[cashman]

Next time he takes off, have all the neighbors park on the runway so he has no place to land. Do this repeatadly. He may get the hint. I don't even think this illegal. It's a private strip.

Stumbled across this thread while hunting for another one. Any recent stories/developments?
