One of my neighbours tried to extort me for money.
He claimed that he owned the land where I parked my car. I asked him to prove that he did and he couldnt, but he said that my car might get damaged if I didnt pay him rent to park there.
The funny thing was I was driving a 20 year old Nissan and he drove a 3 year old BMW (ie his car was worth 10 times what mine was). I merely informed him that if anything happened to my car he might expect something to happen to his car or his face. Nothing much happened after that, he was always polite but distant everytime I saw him afterwards.
He also sold drugs out of his flat - but where I'm from calling the police on someone isnt really how people behave, I'd rather settle any disputes person to person. And while I dont use drugs I dont really care if other people do anyway.
