Harrassment

I have a neighbor who is putting his friends up to doing things to harrass me. Two weeks ago he had his friend peel his truck over my lawn and rip the lawn up, i called the cops and my husband decided to not file charges, now we are sorry we didnt. This week, he is having his other friend drive his motorcycle down the sidewalk in front of our house. I called the cops, they didnt even want to send a car, they did eventually but said they would go speak to the person and i dont believe they did. What can i do to get this person to leave me alone and stay off my property??This harrassment has been ongoing for over a year!! I called the courts and they tell me i cannot file a refrain from order unless i have a complaint, but the cops wont file one....PLEASE HELP!!!!

You might try filing a civil action against your neighbour.
