You need to have a little chat with your local P.D. about what your a-hole neighbor told your father. I think theft of a neighbor's pet and chucking it to the four winds a couple of towns away is criminal. It may even well rise to the level of animal cruelty, especially if it can be proven that it led to the demise of the animal (which it probably did).

Idiots like this need to spend a few nights in pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Simply knocking on the neighbor's door and saying, "look, I think your cat is running around my yard and I'd prefer that you keep an eye on it - I'm tired of stepping in cat crap on my own property" would have been appropriate. If ignored, a call to animal control would have been appropriate (and a wake-up call to an irresponsible pet owner). What he did was neither justifiable nor appropriate. It's the kind of thing I'd expect from someone who delights in the torture of animals and is on their way to becoming a serial killer. The sort of reaction on this guy's part is a pathological affliction. Yes, he has a right to enjoy his property, but let's put it in perspective here - to the point he feels it's right to give him the right to kidnap or kill someone's pet? Especially when it belongs to a kid? WTF?

If you didn't get anywhere with the P.D., I'd ring his doorbell and when answered, lay him flat on his own doorstep with a broken nose. Jackass. No justification for what he did. None.
