I wouldn't report him if you don't have to. First, it sounds like he has enough problems already. Second, I know it would make me mad if someone reported something on me without having said anything to me about it first!
So ... just talk to him like you did to us. I wouldn't go on the offensive unless you're forced to. Something like:
"I really appreciate having such a great neighbor, and we love your dog. I also know you're having a tough time right now and I'm sure that's probably why you're not aware of the unusually large gifts that _____ is leaving over at my house." |
