Problems continuing with new neighbours

These are the things that have happened since the beginning of this year. Mike Hoeptner is still using his network to harass, using our new neighbour who is still causing us problems by doing things to try to disturb and antagonise us.

On completion of the adjoining wall the neighbour Mariano reneged on an agreement to build and paint the adjoining wall. Having built the wall he refused to paint it, so we were left with no alternative but to paint our own side of the wall. This we did which was no easy task as the wall is 4 metres high and 75 metres long. Whilst doing this, the wind blew paint spray onto two cars parked next to his side of the wall. We did not know the cars were there. Both vehicles were lightly speckled with the emulsion paint. As soon as he made us aware of the problem we stopped spraying and used a paint brush to complete the job. We apologised and offered to pay for the cars to be cleaned but he did not take us up on our offer.

Sometime later our neighbour sprayed his side of the wall and as you will see from the video and photos, he deliberately sprayed white paint onto our cream wall, and our wall lamps. He blatantly used the spray so that our driveway and tiling were covered in white paint as were the windows of an outbuilding.

On Saturday 17th April he had installed CCTV Surveillance cameras on the side of his house, one of which deliberately points directly into our property covering the whole of our pool area from the house to our main gate. This camera is a tracking surveillance camera with motion sensors. Consequently as soon as we leave our house he is alerted on his mobile phone to our movements. Not only that, but he can control the camera using his phone to follow us and I am sure it will have sound and zoom features. This is obviously a total breach of our privacy and is illegal under Spanish law.

On Tuesday we politely asked him to lower the camera down the wall by at least one metre so that it cannot look into our property. He agreed to do this but as yet the camera is still operating in the same position. In return he asked us to move one of our cameras which he thought might overlook his property,. We did this immediately but infact our camera was only looking down our drive along the adjoining wall not looking directly into his property.

We hope this weekend he will reposition his intrusive camera but if not we will be forced to take legal action. We will update this blog as and when necessary.
