Yeah, Ive done this before. Makes you feel better, but doesn't solve the problem.
Unfortunately, this's probably the best advice you'll get in this thread (wise words from drolo):

at least that's what happened to me
last year we moved out of a house we had bought 3 years before because the one next to ours had 8 kids roaming about without parent supervision most of the day and late into the evening. plus their shit covered cat constantly sneaked into our house to eat our cat's food and pee all over ...
we tried different approaches but in the end there was just nothing we could do about it but leave
I am super happy we did though as I really like where we live now but I hope you will be able to find a solution
