LOL!!! That would be good. And don't forget "Snot" the dog.
Hmm, I think we have us a business folks. We can form groups of C-D folks in all the states to help each other out. When one calls w/ a problem neighbor we can just move in and get to work on the issue.
Instead of the goofball j-a movies we can have C-D "Bad Neighbor" movies.
Unfortunately as you will likey find the guy is within his rights. He can walk up and down the sidewalk in front of the lot with a sign pointing what a sleeze bag you are.
Unless he is violating some noise ordinance you will get little, if any, help from the authorities.
First step is can you un-annoy him. A little softsoap? A little money?
Next the traditional letter from your attorney threatening dire consequences if he does not cease and desist. Works a high percentage of the time.
Next you go after him in court. The object here is still to scare him and get him worried about the legal cost of defending himself. You can often load a complaint with really painful things that are going to happen to him.
Finally you puruse the legal case. I would think however that may cost a high percentage of what the lot is worth...so be careful.

Actually I would think that he is not with in his rights.
If he is calling someone a thief in front of others and by the calling of this name causes the other party to lose money he may be guilty of slander and the party being called the name has every right to sue him.
I think you are right that the letter from the attorney would probably work.

Oh my gosh!!!! I am thrilled with the wonderful suggestions!! Did I mention he has "rented" spots in his yard to (as he calls them) hobo's? We have them living in two campers, one school bus, and the shed. If you would like to live on the porch or live in your car on his property he has a price for that too. After 9 years of this I finally called planning and zoning and after 4 months (government you know!!) they told him to have to hobo's gone in 30 days. I told plan and zone NOT to let him know who complained or I was toast. Well, of course my name was front and center on the complaint! Thanks Washington County!! Last night he came out again when another prospective buyer showed up but my husband grabbed the looker and gave the man some lip (while I had 911 on hold!!). Always fun in western maryland. Thanks again!!

Those are matters that can be litigated civilly. In a couple of years you may get satisfaction after parting with some thousands of dollars. You may not win by the way. One can often cloak opinion in pejoratives and get away with it.
Note that it may not be possible for a municipality to hide an identity. There are freedom of access laws that make the filing of a complaint a public document. We had the battle here and sometimes use neighborhood associations to cloak the identity of the real originator. It is however possible that the neighborhood association can be forced to reveal the information but that is unlikely.
