My neighbor's leaf blower war started at 6am Sunday and I'm losing my mind

Last week, the guy two houses down started his gas leaf blower at 6am on a Sunday. I went over and asked him to wait until 9, and he just stared at me and kept going. Three days later, I found my trash cans knocked over and a note saying 'mind your business' taped to my door. Has anyone else dealt with a neighbor who weaponizes noise like this?

Man I feel this so hard, my neighbor power washes his driveway at 6am like he's prepping for a nuclear apocalypse and I just hide inside hoping he can't see me through the blinds.

Dude my neighbor does the exact same thing with a pressure washer at like 5:45am during summer. I swear he picks the loudest possible days too when everyone has their windows open. I've started sleeping with earplugs and a white noise machine just to avoid hearing that high pitched whine before the sun is even up. Last week he was out there at 6am on a Saturday wearing full rain gear like he was about to fight a firehose. I just peek through the blinds and hope he doesn't see me standing there in my boxers with my coffee. It's like they take some kind of twisted pride in being the first one up making noise.

Gas leaf blowers should be illegal before 9am on weekends, plain and simple. Your neighbor escalated from noise to vandalism, which is a whole different level of crazy. Time to get cameras and call the cops if he touches your stuff again.
