Love Note
I think I know which "neighbors" dumped this board in front of my garage door, but I can't be sure, so I left a prominently placed shaming note hoping they'd see it. Always satisfying! 
UPDATE: Either there are old, termite-eaten wood rustlers in the neighborhood or my note worked. Just saw my (nice) neighbor, and she said her son laughed at the note in the morning. ("That's so Amy!" he said.) And then, when they came home later in the day, the board was gone.
Yay! Positive shaming!

Hah...there's nothing passive about Amy's aggression. Kudos Amy for calling the pigs out on their BS!

It is time for a time-lapse video camera. Your bad neighbors are starting to target you.

At this point, I'm starting to wonder if your neighbors aren't just messing with you to get the negative attention of your "love" notes.

I give positive attention, too.
Recently, I wrote my neighbor Mari a note to tell her how wonderful it is that she (voluntarily) tends the gardens and plants around her apartment complex (which is on my block). Every time I walk past, I get a little jolt of beauty...flowers she's planted, the plants she cares for.
On the receiving side, my little neighbor Lily leaves me notes and drawings. Love every one. My entire refrigerator is covered with them.

Yes, but you are famous for these little love notes. It's the 30 seconds of fame syndrome. "Hey look ma, I'm on TV!" Or in this case, that thur intranet....

Leaving from a visit at the ranch one evening, I found a good-sized motor fishing boat "parked" outside the gate! It wasn't there an hour before.
It had trailer license plate & bow numbers intact.
The cops couldn't care less.

"The cops couldn't care less."
So you got a new boat for free. Excellent!
