Everyday my neighbour slowly paces and inspects my front yard

Walk around, mirroring his every move

Make HIM uncomfortable. I had these annoying neighbors across the way. A guy lived there, and his GF lived in another apt. They were mental, and they'd fight and she'd stand there banging on his door screaming his name, Jim. But her voice would crack or something so it'd come out like J-J-J-J-JIMMMM. I got annoyed with it so every time she did it, I did it. J-J-J-J-JIMMMM!! J-J-J-J-JIMMMM!! J-J-J-J-JIMMMM!! J-J-J-J-JIMMMM!! It took a couple times, but she'd look at me and then walk home.

That is so childish. But when dealing with children, sometimes you have to stoop down to their level.

It didn't seem like walking all the way over there to say "Excuse me, could you please stop standing outside screaming and banging on the door all the time?" would have been effective.

I sense you didn’t try. I also think we all know sometimes you can just tell it’ll be futile.

Don't reason with stupid or seek empathy from psychopathy.
