My neighbor put up a massive flood light on the corner of his house that lights up my entire house at night. He keeps it on all night. I asked if he would turn it off and he said he would if he remembered. He never turns it off. I broke this past weekend when he didn’t turn it off and shot it out with a pellet gun. I ran into him this morning and he told me he reported it to police and I F’d up his light socket. I don’t know what else to do. I asked, he was disrespectful and didn’t turn it off. Now he has the law involved. I feel my actions were justified.

No offense, but I don’t believe this happened.

You are kidding...right? You couldn't have thought this would turn out well. It won't.
Climb up there and cover it with a garbage bag....Yes. Shoot it with a gun....No.

We had something like this at my old house. Literally shining directly into my bedroom window. We planted bamboo. It took a few years, but I definitely won the war.

Why didn’t you just buy the most powerful spotlight you could find and aim it into his house?

What proof does he have that you used a pellet gun to shoot his light out? Does he have you on camera or something?

The cops will only take a report, unless they have proof it was you shooting the light out with a pellet gun.

Light pollution is a real issue.

I have no streetlight or floodlights where I live. 90% of the time, the house is pitch dark outside after we go to bed. My Aussie Shepherd thinks her job is night time watchdog so she stays out most of the night. She'll come in as soon as the sun starts to rise. She mostly alerts to coyotes, but no one could sneak up on the house with her outside.

go shoot out your own flood light and tell the cops that it must have been some neighborhood hood rats.

Not only was it on camera, but the lighting was fantastic

Justified, maybe. Did you get around to asking yourself about the legality of the behavior before you did it? If so how did you answer that question?
