I truly feel for you, as your home and property should give you peace. Best of luck. Prayers sent your way.

Unless he gets an invisible fence and puts the shock collars on the neighbor's kids

In all seriousness Jaime is right and another option might be Code Enforcement if he is not keeping the house up. Not really a solution but it least you can get him to keep his yard up and cost him a bit of money.

Out here in the backwards west, it is common for cities to have a dispute resolution center. I'm lousy at describing these, so I'll just point you to the one for my town. When I was on the HOA board, we often guided neighbors to this service and it seemed to us to be beneficial the majority of the time.

Seems to me that your neighbor might not want to participate, but if you start filing police reports for the incidents and damage, he may have no choice.
