BTW what do the other neighbours think about this behaviour? Have you discussed it with them?
This in heaps.

An idiot maybe, but even idiots need education, and old dogs especially.
He says it wasn't him. Well between the both of you you can find out who it was All in the course of protecting shooting, which we all love.
Best done over a cup of tea. Lets hope you can come away with a positive outcome.

I just don't get the: "Report the b'stard" mentality. As if we are all perfect. We don't live in some draconian regime where its every neighbours duty to report on their neighbours. The Police will just log it as one more firearm related crime to help them deny us any fun at all.
Airgun pellets should never leave the boundary. What is going on needs stopping, but best done with good argument, and the law is on your side. You are helping him.
