That annoying neighbour...
|

2months back... Okay, there i was, just stopped by the side of the street waiting for my friend to come out. THis old man comes out, knocks really hard on the door and tells me to turn off the engine. RWC, EPA etc legit car, completely 100% legal, and he thinks it's too loud. (Veilside FTO with custom candy 6000buck paint, and he just dented the door... WTF)
Second time yesterday, he comes at me "i've got bad news for you china boy" and he's telling me i'm hooning in his street etc etc... but it's the first time i've been there with the sprinter and i never went past 50 km.h. It's another RWC, EPA etc legit car.
He's given me 1 week to fix the "silencer". What can i do to make it quiet? it's already got complete exhaust system, and it's only a 1.6cc so how loud can it be??
third time was night of the second encounter. There i was, in the garage, creating the fuel map and tuning up the car. Been at it for a few hours without starting the car or anything (annoying bar graphs and didn't save map first so had to recreate.. long story)... and suddenly he comes at me again, opening the door and hitting it against the wall (of the garage), then trying to rip the keys which he couldn't but he snatched the bunch of keys off and threw it at me, narrowly missing my face and hitting the monitor. then he goes on to harrass me some more asking me to turn it off.. the car WASN'T RUNNING AT ALL...
70++ year old... he's harassed, verbally abused, racial issues and then assaulted me. what do i do?
(and there are skylines and supras much louder with bigger exhaust etc... but i get picked on because i was at the house across from his)

See Clint aka (CLG's thread in the outhouse0, otherwise tell him to fuck off and mind his own business, if the car is legit and passes a noise test ie under 90 decibels don't worry he's just an annoying old bloke with nothing better to do, oh and if he is unwillingly entering your property and throwing shit at you just call the cops, he'll soon leave you alone.
Leave the car as it is.

going to make a police report because i always go there, my mate's house, and if anything happens at least i've made a report.
CoronaRT142 : i'll check that out for ideas mate thanks

Firstly DO NOT | Quote: |
just punch him in the mouth if he comes near u again
|
Then DO | Quote: |
get an avo apprehended violence order on him, he cant go on your property and grab your keys
|
If you touch him he WILL have you up on assalt.
Do it the right way & the law will be on your side.

Nope, give them enough detail and they'll give you the AVO. Then when he comes over next time to complain, ring the cops up and they'll drag the looney away. Don't what EVER you do punch the dude, or you'll never get any help. If you can take pics of the damage he did to the cars that'd help.

where abouts is this mate, which suburb?
i want to go there and punch him for u.
i wouldnt hit him but scare him, give him a shuve, and yell at the old fucker.
if he has damaged your cars you should damage some of his shit, but never ever admit to it(if he calls the cops).

i already know the cops won't be on my side.
Senior citizens are what they are... but i don't understand how you can be sick,insomnia etc.. at that age, and still be living at home? isn't there like old folks home etc for this sort of thing??
Violent AVO order hmm.. maybe i'll get a defect on my car first for good measure (being a 1983 sprinter, i'm sure they can find something like bit of rust here, there etc etc)that's why i'm worried about involving the cops.
and it's an old guy i'm dealing with... i want him to be fair and stop bugging me coz there are other guys with bigger and louder cars etc... and he's never told me off nicely.. always with the swearing and yelling and harrassment
i don't respect people who don't respect me, so he's being a dick and i don't really give a shit, but when it came up to racial taunt and assault i have to draw the line.
i'll get that report for my security first. Then we'll see...

I'll have to agree with hi-ace it ain't worth physical violence isn't the best route. An AVO would be a good option to try but whether or not you can get it is another thing. I'm not sure how hard they are to get and being an 70+ year old man they may kinda just laugh at you.

believe it or not, opposite Monash Uni, Clayton, where all the houses are rented out (well almost all), to international students. The only people staying there are just the worst of Aussies you'll ever meet. that's why they're pissed the street is taken over by international and young students etc...

Dude, its quite possible that the old guy is senile and a borderline Psychotic. This is more common than you think with old folks (my own grandmother has it). He probably needs treatment and to go into a home, but if he has no family, then no-one knows about his condition. The best thing you can do is go to the cops. Even if your car is an illegal death trap from hell it still gives him no right to abuse and assult you, and damage your property.
As long as you are telling us the truth (I.E. you havn't been hooning around his house or taunting him etc)then you have nothing to worry about.

dude, as long as you are not FOB the cops shouldnt have a problem. and if they do, goto the cop shop and speak with theyre boss, he will sort it out for you. just dont call them cops, they like the term police, and b cool with them(dont be nervous).
australia is a very multi national country and all the racist bastards are dieing off slowly.

Next time he comes over to your house, build walls around him and put a barbeque in there with him along with a few rose bushes, then cook and cook until it catches fire and burns him to death.

not all unfortunately, but there's less around 
I agree. Go in person to the cop shop. make sure your shit is together (ie: your mate's address, old dude's address, dates & times, all that). have pics of the damage if you can. despite the 2 incidents, the cops will probably want to sit on it till something else happens (otherwise they're acting on the word of a 20yo with no proof). if you have a mate with a digicam who can video it next time he comes over, that would be ideal

OK . the idiot isn't an authorised officer at all.
you should have ignored him and gone to the police..
you can tell him next time that you've made a complainy about him to the police and add nothing more.

This is a long winded way of saying you were subject to:
trespass, assault and criminal damage
Don't discuss it any further here, see the police now before the memory and impact of the occaision is lost.
You should encourage your neighbors to be willing to make statements in support of your complain but do not outline your exact complaint to them. Simply guage your community support in case the police want to rely on them for verification.

age is no protection against arrest and conviction of a crime that carries a jail term as a sanction.
If someone commits an offence, the police will charge/arrest people according to the evidence and statements available to them. Only a magistrate/judge can decide if someone's agge and mental state is a contributor to the offence.
The police may err on the side of caution in regards to elderly people. but trespass, assault, criminal damage and racial vilification are all offences that could (depending on severity) result in jail terms if a conviction is obtained.
Dont just rely on the criminal compliant:
-keep a diary of events
-ask your friends to make statements of events they witness
-get an AVO (you should be able to do this regardless of the state of your criminal compliant - plus a magistrates appearance will re-enforce the order).
-be prepared to stick it out to the bitter end (this old bastard will take great delight and personal vindication if you suddenly drop the complaint)
-dont rely on the one complaint - every single time the old bugger breaks the law, make a complaint.

perfect !..
do exactly as stated above... dont go talking to the guy saying you are taking action it will only provoke him more.
my advice would be (assuming he is doing this each time) is to make note and push the racial card. if he is hassling you becasue you are asian and the police reports state as such then as unfair as it is (in either direction) it is more likley to get taken a little more seriously.
as much as this pisses you off keep your cool and dont do anything to him. make sure you take all your actions though the proper channels... ie go down to the local police station and get everything in writing.
if they end up with a complaint (or a few) even before it gets to the stage of AVO's etc they will likley go and knock on his door which is usually enough to give them a scare enough to step back.

bravo to you for not dropping the old prick then and there, woulda taken some self control.
old people are often the worst offenders when it comes to being violent. i know this from my girlfriend who works in a newsagent, the old people are VERY impatient, think they are more important than everyone else and often get violent which surprised me some what. and of course, old aussies are bloody racist. they lived through the war with the all that trouble with the japs and what not.
go through the law, make a complaint. the cops will prob just talk to the old guy, maybe you will get an avo but i doubt that will stop the old dood, and i doubt any cop/judge is gonna throw the book at such an old man.

it's true i never hoon around his house. He claims there are complaints against the sprinter etc... but it's the first time i've driven it there... it's been in repairs so long, i fix it more than i drive it. CHeck the other threat "worst experience with AE-86".
he has a problem definitely because i've went to the police station and asked the cop to come out and look at the car. Plus i have a sound test which clearly shows the car only makes 85 decibels at something like 5000 RPM or something.. and it's got the RWC from when i bought it so yea... completely legal. Impossible to defect.
Plus the cops says nobody without a badge can tell me to do stuff to my ride. He's full of shit to give me 7 days to fix the muffler. It's illegal because he has no authority.

i just went and came back. The cop didn't even take a report. ALl he did was check with his sargent who is in charge of neighbourhood watch about this old man and his credentials. He once chased this girl driving off coz she was talking to her friends nearby for a short while (about 4 blocks on the other side of the street to this old man)
However the cop mentioned he will check it out etc.. but i reckon as soon as i left he'd go in and have a laugh with his mates because end of the day it's a 20 year old asian guy's word against a 70 year old white guy... and it's true..
chinaboy... bahh.. i can't believe racist bastards still exist today. He's 70.. and it's the 21st century for crying out loud. i have to give him credit for being a violent 70 year old... how often do you see people that old yelling profanities, harassing and assaulting others?

well that sucks.
I possibly would have been a little more forceful about requesting an incident report, so you can have a number to refer to next time it happens.
well, next time it does make sure you tell the old man to get off your property. I'm assuming his outbursts are short, and he'd be gone by the time the cops arrived... so then you gotta go back and say it happened again :\

okay.. i've spoken to the cops.. and i'm keeping a log of what's happened. everytime i go back there and something happens i'll record it down..
and i won't go so far as to get an AVO yet. However this old man has stepped outside his boundaries by telling me what to do with my car and calling me a chinaboy.
1st thing i've done is to report it to the police.
Now i'm making flyers to distribute to everyone living on that street (it's not a big street. there's a silver supra with 5 inch tip 3 times louder than mine living 3 blocks down and a skyline , same shit, 5 blocks down.) to warn them of this old man and what he's done and list down a few things he's done already..
Then i will go right ahead to visit my mate whenever. The AVO will be a last resort, but if he confronts me again i'll call the police.
It's true that i won't fight with him or have any arguments, not with a 70 year old aussie guy. I'll go through this the right way (after thinking about 100 ways to get back at him). He can do what he wants but i will not stoop to his level. Even the cops have said that this man has too much time on his hands.
Also he comes on people's property in the wee hours of the morning and just bangs really hard on the door, to tell them their rubbish bin is overfilled etc.. WTF??
Cops are powerless unless he's hit me or i have sustained injury, or at least there are witnesses to what he does i.e. damage to property etc... and i hope it doesn't come to that. Thing is i'm not scared or intimidated by him and i give him credit for his violence and all. IN all the confrontations he's never shown me any respect and always shouted and yelled so i can't clearly understand anything he says.

next time the dickhead give you shit
dont take it like this PC bullshit mentioned above, the cops dont seem to give a fuck
simply say:
oi mate (in the most occa ausie accent you can muster) fuck off and get an idea.
ive reported your repeated bullshit harassment and trespassing to the cops
they know about your bullshit
this car and all the other are 100% legal
im NOT taking it anywhere to get 'legalzed'
now go inside and watch your stories and leave me in peace you dumb old cunt.
if he has another go walk away
ignoring his bs will piss him off no end
that or just laugh at him
just keep laughing like its the funniest thing youve ever heard
the more the dumb bastard yells
the harder you laugh
trust me. works a charm in traffic road rage hahaha

It's actually more common than you would think. Some people develop social issues during old age due to things such as strokes, dementia or even just because they are bitter about being close to the end of their life and are sick of being old. Dementia often will cause sufferers to lose some of their inhibitions and their ability to know what is acceptable behaviour. (eg: an elderly (80+yrs) lady i know of had said a swear word in a good 50 years until she had a stroke after which time she was all "fuck this kettle", "shit that"... "oh my it's pissing down today isn't it Wendy")

On ya mate for going about this the way you have. Though I would love to give into the guilty pleasure of filling his car with industrial powerdered gap filler, then turning the hose on...and filling the car. but thats tooping lower than him without the excuse of being a crazy arse butt monkey. ensure the cops are taking it seriously. the camera approach is a good one, mp3 recorder perhaps? double check with yer law dept at uni about the legal ramifications of the flyer. im kinda sleeping through business law at the moment, but be careful of defamation and libel (though some legal buff will jump on here and straighten my comments out  which is what i am angling for anyways hehehe)
but screw the old man over legal proper style. that business with the keys, whent he car was turned off... shits me up the wall oldschool, there are some limits that shouldnt be crossed. to throw the keys at you... deserves, Deserves, a headbutt. dont though. it would be bad. his head would colapse. its obviously empty....luck to ya

Next time this old man come knocking again forget abt calling the police - try my method - works for me everytime. Here goes...
Step 1 - Don't listen to what he says - u don't understand much anyway.
Step 2 - Just keep replying him with words to annoy him somthing like:
What...I can't hear u - oh u like my car - thank u!!!
What... u lost yr marbles & u want me to find it - who the fuck u think I am - yr mother!!
No thanks ..I have eaten!
By the way can I borrow your car .. what, no car!! ..okay anything ..trolley...wheelchair...what u got!
Would u mind walking quietly on yr way out.... I don't want to disturb the neighbours.
P/S: U can also ask him for some advice abt supercharging your car.
Step 3 - Try farting but keep yr TRD helmet on in case he throws anything at u.
Cheers

Firstly, good work in keeping your cool for so long. If someone purposely damaged my car for no reason (not traffic accident), I would not hesitate to flaten them.
I must say shutting the door and doing what yeoldcock mentioned and pretend to talk about something else is a good idea. I presume it's not your place so you can't install flood lamps or alarms whenever someone walks into the property.

may not be my place but as long as i can prove it, he'll get into a lot of trouble. I'm going to install one of those cheap survelance cameras when i work there again just to capture his foolish outbursts. I'll be there often, so i'm sure he'll throw tantrums and all that.

what do you do when a really old man comes at you screaming profanities and starts whacking your stuff around?
i was more in shock and thinking how should i react to this ??
i could smack him, but what good will that do? i could tell him off but i can't understand what he's saying.

Another thing you may be able to do is to put in an Australian accent... Me being Asian and putting on an accent really puts people off but it's mainly young punks that think I'm a tourist (coz I carry a camera sometimes) till I open my mouth but somehow I don't see this old fart having an intelligence to comprehend this.
You can say he is welcomed to talk to you from the footpath but not enter the property. Rope it off? fence it off?

you call the police saying there's this old nutbag who's broken into your house and is yelling incohently and he's damaging your property
if younger people do it, it's called a home invasion
if old white guys do it to asian folks, it's a racial attack

avoid the suggestions of damage and harm to the old fucker ... they're not going to make the problem go away
call the police. now. if your story (and evidence) is convincing enough, they will drag your problem away. you have to make them think that your safety is being threatened and your property is at great risk of damage and has already been damaged.
How difficult can it be?

Keep going back to the police every time the old bloke does something. Eventually they will get fed up with seeing you and will do something.
I wouldn't distribute fliers to the neighbours, instead I would go have a chat with them and see if the old bloke is hassling them. Suggest that they also tell the police what the old bloke has done to them. If they get reports of abuse and violence about the old bloke from different people they will be more inclined to take some action.
Good on you for keeping your cool and keep it up.

if the police end up with a few compliants. especially from different people then even if they just come and give him a scare that is usually enough to straighten him out.
but i wouldnt go sending out flyers, it will no doubt work against you.
i always feel like im the shitty neighbour just becasue im forever working on the cars. often at night although i dont use the compressor or so starting/revving them at night. i try to be as considerate as possible but i could imagaine it would annoy people having the air compressor going half the weekend etc.
that said no one has said anything and if they did id certainly try to work around them.

it's a sad sad world we live in when old people are no more nice and friendly, and instead have become violent mutha fuckaz that don't give 2 cents about courtesy and consideration, are more violent that the youth and act worse than gangsters.
thinking about it, it's not the first time i've come across old people like this. Once i saw this old lady just fell over somehow, and people came to help her up and she was just screaming profanities at everyone.. wtf...
there is another guy who lives on that street.. and this guy's driveway looks like the pavement i.e. the grass grows over so it doesn't look like the footpath. SO my mate parks halfway in front of his "driveway" not seeing it is a driveway coz there's grass on it.. the guy comes out going "can you not park on my driveway what is wrong with you people always parking in front of MY driveway?"
and i was looking at him wondering where the fuck is his driveway? i thought he was across the street, in which case he can't ask us to move. Indeed my mate was in front of his driveway and you could only see it because driveways have a drive-way for car to drive up to the house. I only noticed it because of the shape of the driveway and the entrance to the house. Other than that nobody could ever see it is coz of the grass. WTF...

sure, im a little late, but hey
i was driving home a few weeks ago when some old guy that lives just up the road from me was standing outside his house, fully giving me the death stare as i drove past, just cos i gave it a bit (in first gear!) coming up the hill/corner down the road (and my car is a little loud, but hardly, only 2.5 inch tip from previous owner). i could hardly hold a straight face and wanted to wave happily at him!
