yeah switch cars around and then when he comes over to yell, rip him a new one (verbally). And if he still wont stop being an Asshat there are multiple revenge ideas in this thread already.
Oh man, I feel your pain dude... neighbors can really SUCK.
I hate living in an apartment, but at least in an apartment you can move quite easily if you have to. With a house, you're pretty much stuck.
I guess the old saying is that "you can't choose your neighbors."
I wish you luck dude, but that whole situation just sounds really really bad. Get out of there if you can!

Thanks man! Yeah we definitely are living that saying now. Our situation is horrible. All we do is be nice to everybody around us. We're nice and respectful and hate conflict. We're trying to get out but it doesn't look possible for another few years. The next time we get a place we're going to interview the neighbors before we decide to buy. I don't want to get stuck in another situation like this. Plus we're moving out into the country and away from subdivision life. People in the country are way more laid back than people in the city.
Can you get your neighbour to help you? The one that you're in good terms with at least. When your GF is getting close to home, have her call home, so you and another witness can go outside and watch everything transpire.
Buy me a plane ticket, give me his address, and he will never bother you again. 
Call the local Mormons, Jehova's Witnesses, Hari Krishnas, and whatever other weird religious types you can think of, give his address, and tell them you would like them to come by and tell you about their religions.

Lets take a recap of the OP's response thus far, and see if anyone can see something:
The only problem with this would be our neighbor kids would either break it or steal it. For unknown reasons they like to cause problems with us also. They throw bricks in our yard and leave their toys all over our front and back yards. They even throw toys from their happy meals over the fence into our back yard. I have talked to them before when their daughter came over and peed on our porch. The guy that is harassing us is down the street farther (for clarification purposes.)
[/quote]
What you need to do is grow a set of balls and confront the fvcker. Man, i am reading your posts and just saying to myself that you are one spineless guy that just like to get picked on. I am always a supporter for being civil in times of conflict (unlike many ATOT'ers), but enough is enough. You're sitting there letting that a-hole scream at your fiance, be mean to your mom, call the cops on you, have his grandkids pee on your porch etc and you do nothing about it, but whine on ATOT?!!! Geez, if what you're saying is true, your neighbor really does deserve an ass kicking just on the fact that he was being mean to not only your fiance but your also your mother. geez, for real, pack up your balls and turn in your man card...

LOL I think this may be the best solution to the problem. I can just imagine how much he'll love all of the extra attention he will be getting then.

And sign him up for every kind of junk mail you can think of - women's clothing, sex toy catalogs, etc. (this could have interesting results when combined with calling social services to report his kids playing in the street...:evil: )

1. What's with all the suggestions to video tape your fiance driving down the street or while she's driving (in car). What does that prove? That she drives safely and slowly *while* the camcorder is running? If I was a judge and you brought that in as evidence, I'd laugh.
2. Why does he hate you? Race is not an issue. You mentioned that you are both white and the neighbors are white. It's possibly age discrimination. I would be slightly upset if I worked all my life to get a house and people half my age have one. Which brings me to my next question.
3. How are you able to afford a house at your age (I am not sure if you are young or late 20's)? a) Cheap, poor neighborhood. This is what I am betting on since your neighbors seem like class acts. Peeing in your yard? b) Inherited money. Explains why he'd be upset. c) Both self made and rich. In which case he should have no right to be upset because you worked for it.
4. If everything is kosher ... i.e. you guys both work, responsible, bought the house, etc ... why did you choose this neighborhood to live in? Why not live in a neighborhood of other 20 something homeowners?

see this is exactly the reason you shouldn't be shagging his wife while he is at work...i knew nothing good would come out of it

Are you actually reading? If so you would understand that those are two seperate neighbors and the neighbor that was rude to my mom was taken care of by me personally going over there and telling him how it's going to be (same neighbor who's kid peed on my porch.) I was just giving background on my neighborhood. I can fully defend myself and have no problem confronting somebody in a situation. His grandkids weren't the same kids pissing on my porch how could you not figure that out if you read all of my posts? I am just trying to get a consensus of how different people would handle the situation so I can weigh out all of my options before taking action. FYI this situation happened yesterday and there was nothing I could do about it at the time. How old are you? Do you own a house? Do you understand what it's like to have to live beside somebody and have them not like you? Until you do then you don't see it from a homeowners perspective where I have to deal with these people day in day out. Your neighbors can really make life unplesant if they want to hassle you.
I would become more involved and go tell the old bat, if he would watch his grandchildren and excercise proper supervision, then his worries would be over. The road or street is no place for a child to play, that is why most citys have parks.
You can beat the ticket in court, what proof do they have? Nonething, ones word aginst another persons word. If he continues I wold slap him with harrasment......

1. I don't think this is the answer. As far as I see it it proves exactly what you stated
2. I have no idea why he hates me and I haven't even seen him before he started causing problems.
3. I have a very good job and I go to work. It's not a cheap poor neighborhood it's a middle class neighborhood with mostly middle aged people and a few younger couples in their late 20's. I have worked and saved for everything I have gotten. I didn't receive any inherited money or have assistance from anybody else. I'm not rich but I have enough to live comfortably for a person my age.
4. This is the same neighborhood that my mother was raised in. It has always been a really nice subdivision with great property values. That is why I chose it in the first place to try and avoid problems like this.
is there something else maybe bothering him that he can't really complain about? grass too long? leaves need raking? trim need painting? dead car in the driveway? there could be something that's been bothering him for a long time that he can't figure out what to do about, and this perceived speeding pushed him over the edge.
maybe the not married and living together thing offends him. stranger things have happened.. has your fiance been living with you long, or is that a relatively new thing? that'd be harder to fix than touching up the trim or raking the leaves.
is your town big enough to have one of those things that they can move from place to place that tells you how fast you're going when you drive by? the people down on the corner got the county to park one of those in front of their house for a while when they were concerned about the speed of traffic going by on their street. parking one of those down by your neighbor would maybe make the whole neighborhood more speed-concious.. and educate the neighbor as to just how fast 25mph looks.
I feel for ya with the neighbor kids.. we have newish neighbors next door with an army of small boys who seem to think the whole neighborhood is their yard. I did finally come up with a solution to the toy thing. I figured ok.. if it's in my yard, it must be a gift.. from.. the toy fairy! so.. I started collecting them. for a while I just collected the little stuff.. balls, frisbees, trucks.. and hauled the big stuff over and tossed it in their driveway (behind their cars ).. didn't slow 'em down any. So.. eventually I started collecting everything I found in my yard. bikes, scooters, helmets, skateboards.. the bikes got their attention. there are rarely toys or boys in my yard these days.

There is nothing at all wrong with my yard that would upset him. My leaves are all taken care of since I have 3 trees in my yard and two of them don't shed much. My lawn is always mowed and manicured. No dead car in the driveway and nothing really out of place.
We have been living together since July of last year so I'm sure it's not the fact that we're living together and there is a ring on her finger so as far as he's concerned we're married since he doesn't know us and knows absolutely nothing about us.
They did have one of those signs in front of their house a few months ago for a week or two. They took it down and nothing ever came of that since we don't speed.
I found out that the method you use for getting rid of toys in your yard works pretty good. That's what we ended up doing earlier this summer after going over and talking to them about it. These are different neighbors from the ones causing the current problem with the perceived speeding. They never did anything about the toys but they don't seem to be a problem anymore. We just take the big stuff and stack it right in the middle of their driveway so their parents can move it when they get home.

The point of the suggestion is to have evidence to the contrary when he calls the cops. You could easily say "look we captured her driving and speed on videotape to prove we were not speeding at the time he said we were". It is credible and admissable evidence.
i am a homeowner (condo). I have had problems with my downstairs neightbor. I agree with the other guy. You're being a doormat. Your neighbor continues to give you problems because you allow them to.

First, do not take any of the *sshat advise about reporting him to welfare services, etc. If you want a charge of filing a false police report to stick at anytime, you do not need to have that on his side.
Not a lawyer. but...
It sounds like he has a mental issue. I would actually see about getting a restraining order filed by your fiancee and her lawyer. Once the restaining order is in place, it should have weight against the false accusations. You may need one too.
See, if you had not killed that snake, he would have stayed out of your yard.

forgot about that. that's the best idea so far. 1) it will discredit him when he calls the cops and 2) if he comes over to yell at your fiancee, you can call the cops on him for trespassing and violating the order.
