Terence Alun Jacob of South Wales thought his neighbors were too noisy, so he used his DIY skills to damage their house in sneaky ways…
…including drilling holes in the roof to let the rain in, super-gluing the door locks, removing a security light by smashing it and redecorating the front of a house by throwing paint over it.
The court heard that Jacob also removed a CCTV camera, smashed the front door, cut wiring from the satellite dish, scaled the flat roof and filled the drains and drainpipes with expanding insulating foam, causing them to block.
He was arrested, entered a plea of guilty and was ordered to perform 100 hours of unpaid work.
