Upon the prompting of a couple CPers with whom I shared beers after the game last night, I am posting this story looking for suggestions.

Late Saturday night (near midnight) something struck our back deck. I rushed outside to find that our house had been "egged". I could not see the culprits (our house backs on to a hilly green space) and assumed it was just teenagers having some fun.

A neighbor came out whose deck/wall had been hit also. Turns out 4 houses in a row got hit. She decided to take her dog for a walk and came by a house on our street that had their back door open. Some guys were talking loudly and laughing. She approached and entered the back yard when she heard them talking about throwing eggs and how fun it was.

Turns out this guy lives 8 houses away and is 30 - 35 years old. Now when I assumed it was kids I thought no big deal, a small clean up no harm no foul kind of thing. But now an adult did this to his neighbors?

So, I need to decide upon an appropriate and measured response.

Do I...

egg his house
collect up my dog's excrement and lob it into his yard
knock on his door and try to provoke him
discuss it with him
do nothing

Again it is not a big deal, it just kind of bugs me that he would do this. I think he should have to pay some price.

Thanks in advance for the quality responses this is sure to engender.

Best/funniest response wins bar fries and a beer at the CP live hockey draft Oct 3.
