Well don't just sit there and post about it.

Find the thief, slash the thief's lungs and get back your Oxygen.

Does he have or own anything he treasures? The proper revenge etiquette would suggest damaging something he values or trying to cause equal financial loss. Anything he takes pride in or loves is a good target. You know, if he has a fancy car, cause damage to it or ruin it's looks. If he's a gardener, kill some of his priced plants/ruin the soil. You get the point. You should also prepare for blowback by trying to get evidence on possible retaliation attempts. A cheap ass camera recording the access point to your driveway/car for example, so you can sue his ass for damages or even get him jailed, if he doesn't have the good sense to quit.

You could also try to escalate matters yourself, but this will lead to almost certain retaliation and further escalation. I wouldn't recommend this unless you truly hate the guy and a more reasonable approach is already out of the question. Things like carefully timed and placed rat poison meatballs used against a known dog lover should cause the desired affect. If you plan to go this route, preparations for counter actions is a must for the safety of your property and health. Also note, that you propably want to leave it at one time actions if possible, since he too will prepare himself for any further direct retaliation attempts. You might want to do this especially, if you plan to get him to incriminate himself with a new attempt on you.

For this to really work it's a must to damage/eliminate something he truly values. You want to make him so mad, that he can't leave the issue at that even though he can't actually prove who was behind it. Just make sure the damage you cause isn't severe enough to warrant serious police attention. So in the example case of poisoning their pets, don't go spreading packets of poisoned meat randomly in the neighbourhood. If you can't target just his pets, use another method or change the target. For example it's often legal to kill unattended animals that come to your property, so feuding neighbours simply shoot wandering pets(cats mostly) belonging to people they hate. Perfectly legal and they can react like you killed their child or something.

Never done the escalation path personally, but I've been a bystander following two elder property owners going down that path. Property damage, petty theft, spreading rumors, killing pets, all the good stuff, but never enough proof or serious enough for the police to intervene. Lasted for years and only ended when one of them finally died. Natural causes as far as I know and they were both old men, so it was to be expected. Again I don't recommend this, since while you turn his life to **** there is a good chance, that you're going to be stranded in the same **** with him.

I highly suggest something like this if he has a car,

=D

Although that may be noticeable. In a serious note though the best way to get revenge is to do something that he wont actually notice but will annoy the hell out of him, sort of like a little device you can buy from 'Think Geek' which makes a really annoying high pitched whine, its really discreet easy to hide and i heard the battery lasts a hell of a long time

Why did he do it? Did you **** him off? Is he just a douche bag? Did he have a troubled youth?

Talk to him about it?

Why is it that when something happens to somebody people always tell them to do the most malicious thing they can think of that would more than likely get the victim in more trouble than the perp?

Go post this on your local police forums and contact your insurance.

File a police report. Paper trails are critical in case this escalates.

Maybe all the rumor mongering is true that personalities in game reflect those out of game.

Patience is key. Immediate revenge just leads to escalating reprisals, a feud, and a cameo on an episode of COPS. Wait, watch, and plan. You need an escalation so drastic he'll decide to cut his losses and stop for fear that your next response will be too costly. A month from now, repay his act ten-fold. The first thing that comes to mind is setting his car on fire. Crude, I know, but it makes it more specific--he messed with yours first--and will definitely make him think twice before, say, vandalizing your home next.

Or you could...you know...involve the cops.

I remember one night back in 2005, I was outside smoking a cigarette at the apartment complex I lived in when a vehicle pulled up to one of the parked cars in the complex across from mine. I had no idea who anyone over on that side was, but I watched in the shadows of my porch walkway as someone (possibly female) got out from the passenger side and was hovering near one of the back tires. Then they got back in and the car drove away. After it turned around and exited the parking lot, I walked across the street and peered over the tire in question. I found a nail wedged at an angle between the pavement and the back tire...if the car reversed out of its parking spot, the nail would set in the tire. I couldn't very well go knocking on everyone's door so I just took the nail...

Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing, the prevailing thought was anonymous property destruction is probably not the best way to solve your issues.....in the back of my mind, I wondered if the owner of the car deserved it?

So close...

Ok, what you do is break into his house (leather gloves, sole-less shoes (moccasins work well, just make sure to wear something a little bigger than your size), a balaclava so you don't leave hair behind) while he's asleep and leave a big knife on his pillow then when he's all freaked out just stare at him from a distance. You need to get in his head, it's not murder if you drive them to suicide Blink

Can you get to his family?
