Please, anyone REALLY familiar with cars--can you please answer me. I need to know if I need to just pack up and leave if it sounds like the following is not normal to you:
My neighbor doesn't like me--seems he hates me. Well, what's been happening lately seems pretty weird to me.
I bought a new car 2 years ago. I just moved here about 5 months ago and the neighbor has made it clear he doesn't want me here several times. Here's the thing.
Last month my car wouldn't start, then I found out I needed a new battery, so I got that fixed.
Two weeks ago, my tire light came on. I had air placed in all tires, the light went off. The next morning, the tire light came back on, so I went and had two tires replaced--the light went out. The next morning, the light came on again. I had air placed in one of the front tires, the light went off. The next morning, the tire light came back on. I had air placed in the same tire and the light went off for good.
Now, tonight I seen that my headlight on the drivers side is out.
It's basically one thing after the other. Is it weird that the tire light kept coming on, then all of a sudden went off for good?
Anyone out there know a great deal about cars? I would highly appreciate if you could let me know if this sounds normal or if it sound like possible tampering to make things stop working? This car is only 2 years old. I've never had the battery, tires and headlights mess up one after another in any other car.
I doubt any of those things have anything to do with your neighbor. How is your neighbor going to sabotage your battery when it's locked under the hood? How is he going to ruin your headlight without smashing it?
The very worst he could be doing is letting air out of your tires, and I doubt it.
Thanks for your honest reply. I'm 21 female and know nothing about cars other than this never happened back to back with any other car. I was just wondering before I pack up and leave.

Have you considered one of those In-Car Video Cameras, CarHelp?
Quite often displays for them at Car / Truck Shows emphasize what you are describing as one of their major benefits. Most mount to the inside mirror, are "motion sensitive" and easily blend in. If nothing else you may learn the "bad guy's" identity and possibly eliminate your neighbor.
Good Luck
