another problem neighbor problem -- wwyd?
I'll be visiting my post office tomorrow, and then the police to either file a 2nd harassment complaint or criminal charges (depending on what the PO says). The short story is last year he first replaced my mail box, which had been creamed by a snow plow, without my permission or authorization. Now, just the other day, he took out the post, put a platform on his post with his box on one side and "my" box (the one I never asked for or authorized) on the other side, this time adding my number to it. Again, without my permission or authorization.
This creep has been thorn in my side since he moved in 7 or 8 years ago, and I finally filed a trespassing complaint against him last summer, when he mowed part of my lawn. The cop upgraded it to harassment when I told him what happened with my horses
For the first 18 months after he moved in, his dogs were in my yard daily trying to bite me. Every day, I returned them to their enclosure. When I'd knock at his door, I could hear music blaring inside, but he wouldn't answer. For 18 months. The last couple times I mentioned to him that he needed to do something. He just smirked.
Then one day my goat slipped the gate and his girlfriend called animal control because my goat was grazing in my yard. Yes, MY yard. Not his yard. Not somebody else's yard. My yard. I had an animal control officer in my back yard and a cop parked in my driveway because my goat was in my own yard.
So that was the end of any attempt at neighborliness from me. 2 weeks later, he was running around our busy street trying to round up his own dogs.
The a couple years later, when I was in school doing 18 hour days and getting 5 hours sleep tops, he started getting up at 4am and laying on his truck horn while bellowing at his girlfriend. On the 3rd morning, I opened my door and yelled at him to knock it off because people were trying to sleep. I honestly didn't think he heard me. That day, I came home from school and found my pasture gate had been opened and pushed all the way through the heavy brush to the fence. My horses were cowering in the furthest, scariest corner of their pasture. Somebody clearly had tried to run them out the gate to the busy street.
Then, a couple years ago my dogs started disappeared for 15-20 minutes when I let them out for their last pee at night, and did the same thing the next morning. And then erupted with exploding, black diarrhea. So that night, I followed them. Somebody had left an intact (except for nibbles) moose-sized liver across my from my driveway on the edge of his front yard, luring my dogs across the busy street at a blind curve to his property. Then he complained to me, in front of his friends, about finding a picture of my dogs on his game camera.
Then he offered me cash for my house -- at half its market value. Which I think goes to motivation (the police think so too).
10 days after I had to put my elderly gelding down, I found a cigarette butt melted into the snow just outside of my pasture fence.
Then he started trying to befriend me. He mowed my lawn without my knowledge, permission or authorization -- and destroyed 2 dog tieouts in the process. That led me to call the police with my first trespassing and harassment complaint, and to put up "no trespassing" signs.
The mail box thing started after the "no trespassing" signs. His way of trespassing without trespassing. But tampering with mail is a federal offense, and even though I don't get my mail there, it appears as if he's trying to tamper with my mail.
It's creeping me out big time. I mind my own business. Why won't this loser creep fuck off and leave me alone. Oh, and did I mention he had the fucking gall to complain last summer that he can't tell if I'm home or not because I park in my garage?!?! Earth to asshole -- that's the idea. Why the fuck would I want to announce to you when I'm gone to make it easier for you to trespass...
= new reply since forum marked as read
Nobody has been home all effing morning. So I took my camera and went over to get pictures of the mailboxes for the record.
As I'm standing there with my camera aimed, he fucking drives up. 
What are the fucking odds? Days can go by and they're away all day. I go outside for 2 minutes, and fucking drives up.
Unwanted big confrontation. I told him it was against Federal law to tamper with a post office box. I told him I know he tried to run my horses into the street and I know he left the liver out to lure my dogs across the street. He denies everything. Re: mailbox says he was "trying to be nice."
He said I'm making things up. I told him to keep off my property and leave me alone.
Really sorry for your travails. Get the authorities on him.
