OP, glad the situation got resolved without resorting to all out neighbor on neighbor warfare...That said...
THIS! No apology needed... if someone gets their feelers hurt because of you calling them a pussy for being a vandal, it just goes to show how absolutely childish they are. I've had things vandalized, stolen, and unintentionally (without regard to negligence) destroyed and each case I've wanted to take the person out back and introduce them to a nice 1/2" lead pipe.Vandalism? I ain't got time for that. If I have a problem with someone, I tell them like a goddamn man, I don't act like a mischievous teenager who's afraid of getting a beating.
