When I was about 13 or 14 my friend and I used to post fake ads on the bulletin board at Co-op offering an Atari system and a bunch of games for a ridiculously low price, and put another buddy's name and phone number in the ad. We thought it was pretty funny. Then he turned the tables on us and a kid called asking about my Intellivision. It was apparent this kid had pleaded with his parents to buy him this really cheap Intellivision, and when I told him it wasn't for sale, he was crushed. I felt shame, and stopped pranking my buddy with fake ads.
This is much worse. I expect it's a disgruntled neighbour. I don't understand how people who live in a city of a million+ people can get that worked up over the sound of kids playing in the street. If you want total privacy and silence, go live in the country. Cities are a poor fit for hermit misanthropes.
