Even if it's a townhouse the back and the front is your property and he is still trespassing. I live in a detached house and have a neighbor that has tampered with my standby generator the night of the blizzard hit us, took off a panel thinking if there was a power outage I would be with out power, well that didn't work, my generator still works but, I am finding it hard to replace that panel that protects the generator motor. In the Dec, he disconnected my electric start snow blower thinking the battery would be dead the next day as they were calling for 8 inches of snow, however I went to start the blower night before to make sure it was working,when it didn't start the first thing I checked was to make sure it was plug in, it wasn't.
I just had the police come this Sunday to file a harassment charge against him . Since I did not actually see him no charges could be made. I told the officer I was getting surveillance cameras. The officer told me that was a wise thing to do, if I can catch him on my property he would be arrested for trespassing. The officer also spoke to this jerk and told him if he is caught trespassing he would be arrested. If I were you I would call the police for the harassment, the officer will talk to him, your jerk will know you are serious and perhaps this will stop him.
I am now researching surveillance cameras.
Lowes carries dummy cameras, they look like a camera, but are non working ones, the salesmen at lowes said to mount it in plain view with a hidden working camera just in case the jerk tries sabotage the dummy camera, he would be caught on film.
Since you have actually seen this guy harassing your dog and daughter that alone is proof.
Do you have a poop pick up law? if his dog is pooping on your property and you have witnessed this and jerk is not picking up, you can report him for that.
I would call the police on the harassment, coming close to your window. Even if the officer just talks to the jerk at least the jerk knows there is action that can be taken and you are starting the ball rolling.
