I have a mental neighbour
Discussion
Last night whilst watching Police Interceptors I heard my letter box flap go. It was quite late so I got up to see what it was.
It was a note from one of my neighbours.
They have asked for a contribution towards their electricity bill because my cat is apparently "delibratly(sic) and repeatingly(sic) setting of their security light". This has allegedly been happening for months.
a) I don't own a cat (I suspect the cat next door to me is the 'culprit')
b) In light of a) what should my return note say?

Two answers, one PH style, one serious.
1) Pop round for a chat and don't get into a cycle of notes, even if they started it. Be nice, pleasant and reasonable and explain you don't have a cat. Also explain that even if you did, anything could set off tehir light - fox, badger, bird, etc and whilst you empathise that it must be annoying - you don't think trying to bill anyone will get them very far.
2) Send them a bill for use of your letterbox.

Go round and smash fk out of the light.
Then if he challenges, act all surprised, say you dont have a cat, but you did see the neighbours cat with a group of mates carrying really tiny baseball bats the other night.
If he is proper mental, he will believe you!
Otherwise, make sure you write any notes back in German and go piss in his kettle.
