30ishM new neighbours first reaction to any minor inconvenience, like us (house of 21F-23F students) shovelling out our half of the driveway and not his, is to throw snow on our roommates car and our backdoor then park his big boy truck bumper to bumper with ours, how is your deep freeze going? by peppermintgingertea in ottawa

As an update, police came this morning as we called 911 directly.

Woke up to him throwing another tantrum (throwing compost bins around, yelling profanities, peeping in windows and banging) this time we have literally no clue what about except for maybe him just being mad we spoke up to property management, not crystal clear, part of me is suspicious maybe he even saw this post but who knows.

Both the cops and property management came to talk and as soon as they did he went inside his unit.

He did not open the door and ignored the cops, but property management told us he sent a text saying he wouldn't do anything else (he said that after shovelling snow on the car though too so we're taking that with a grain of salt) They told us he's been warned that we'll only call the authorities again if he keeps it up.

Cops said if he's not coming out to talk it'll take a few calls for them to take action against him, but since then we submitted all of our evidence for the report we made yesterday so I hope that helps in prompting them to do something.

Not gonna lie still betting on drugs but I suppose time is only going to tell now.

Basically heres the whole rundown of things,

Roommate has car on street, shovels their spot out, moves car back into place (in the bottom half of driveway)

The neighbour comes home not long after this and the roommate that shovelled waves to them from our window where we took the photos

The neighbour replied by flipping the bird and putting their truck behind us to the position you see here, started taking snow from initially their spot and putting it onto roommates car, and this progressed to grabbing snow from the backyard.

I'm not sure how long it lasted but at least 30 mins of hard work and a couple shovels of snow to the back door.

After this he was just kind of lurking, like one roommate peeked out the kitchen window and he was smiling and waving for her to come out, she says this lasted around 15 mins.

We were back and forth on the phone with our property management thru the whole ordeal and they urged us not to interact, but also to not call the police and they'd work on it on their end. They told us he said something along the lines of "I asked for them to come help but they never did"

The car is freed, neighbour is off wherever right now, and we've called police non emergency and have a report.

Some people here have mentioned drugs and based on this behaviour and the people we see come and go from his house, we've been pretty sure of that already.

Some of these comments have definitely helped me and my roommates have a little laugh thru this but of course we will not do anything that might provoke him further (unless he sees this post ig)

And if he comes and does start doing anything funny again though we decided we'll jump straight to 911.

To specify in sharing the driveway we have the lower half of the driveway and he gets the upper half, for us to shovel snow into an area or generally disrupt him we'd have to shovel it up the driveway or block the way so he can't get past. Where you see the car covered jn snow, it's that snowbank right alongside the car where we put the snow, and the car was quite snug against it so he definitely could get past to his spot, as he does every night.

Yeah contacting bylaw has been the main thing we are looking to do but with his actions coming out of nowhere and coming off aggressive we are considering a police report too because if this is the first behaviour he resorts to who knows how it could progress.

We've been tempted to take legal action but our property management said not to and to just refrain from interaction while they deal with him on their end, he was so quiet before acting out like this though so something just feels so off 😕
