But tell the contractor that he's not allowed on your property, when he trys to retreive his power cord, tell him that the ban includes going to retrieve his power cord.
Before you do anything to be an ass, do you know exactly where your property line is? They are never right at the curb/sidewalk - minimum 1 foot way and can be as much as six feet from the curb/sidewalk. Is the mud/other stuff only in that area? I guess plugging their cord into your plug in is definately on your property.

Man, this kind of stuff is only going to make the guy more of a jerk. This is akin to telling the schoolyard bully that you're going to tell your mom when you get home.
If you're dealing with this kind of a ######bag, your options are pretty limited. You can either punch the guy in the face, or else just kill your outside power and fix your lawn next spring.
Getting into a war with some knuckle-dragging freak is only going to net you some broken windows and other forms of grief. Afterall, he knows where you live.
Forget the contractor.
As for your neighbour, options are limited there, too. What are you going to do? Build a fence? If the guy is a total assface, you either suck it up or move. I mean, the only way to get even is to pour salt on his lawn or something. Calling the cops will only instigate a war.
The idea of calling in a 'tip' to CRA is kinda funny. That's some well deserved karma for the contractor... But short of that, there's not much you can do without making the situation worse. If the neighbour and the contractor are as oblivious (read: assholish) as you say, making a big deal out of it just gets you in deeper.
