Hi,

Is there a way to intercept my neighbor's remote control car toy signal? He drives me nuts with this extremely LOUD toy. The guy is maried, about 24 with a kid and owns the house next to me. I've closed the front door, all the windows and the noise still pierces through my house. I've talked to him about not running it in front of my house and that lasted about a couple of days and he has been 'playing' with this toy in front of my house for the past 4 hours this evening.
This goes on EVERY NIGHT when he comes home from work. I would like to be able to intercept his signal and make the car stop dead in its tracks whenever it comes in front of my house. If that doesn't work I will keep calling the sheriffs until THEY come out and talk with this 'kid'.

Thanks for any help you can give me in adjusting to a neighbor from hell. This guy needs to take his noise to a park or some appropriate place other than this quiet, middle class neighborhood.

Not me Lab,
I'd get "down & dirty" with this dude. The first thingt I'd do is to get chummy with him when he's out front. Ask about his little car. Say you're thinking about getting one just like it since he has so much fun with his. Get the make and model number and pay special attention to the control unit. Now truck on down to Toys R US or your local hobby shop and order a replacement control box. Stay out of sight the next time he gets in your face with his toy. You may now take over control and stop it dead, turn it around or send it out in the street under the wheels of your other neighbors SUV as he's backing out of his driveway. Hey! Let's face it. I'm just not as nice and polite as Labman! "The Speedster"
