Seriously though, we were forced to move house in a hurry 6 years ago when a drug-dealing scumbag bought the house next door. I won't bore you with all the details but within a few weeks Mrs Gti and I were both taking beta-blockers to cope with the stress. We sold our house in five days for much less than it was worth and it was subsequently re-sold three times. The consequence for us was a financial loss of many thousands of pounds and a much bigger mortgage for the new house in a better neighbourhood, where we have lovely neighbours.
We didn't take revenge or want revenge because we knew that in the end they would get their come-uppance. They did; he went to prison for firearms offences and they couldn't pay the mortgage because he wasn't dealing drugs and robbing people. After a long struggle his wife was forced to sell up and we don't know where they went. The real shame of it is that they moved into the area for safety because his wife was living on her nerves as she was terrified of rival dealers attacking them (really) and they had four kids, who were actually quite polite and nice.
Yeah best advice is forget them and get on with your life. From the posts on here it's staggering how vindictive people can be quite apart from the fact that any such action if discovered and pursued could leave one with a criminal record for lots of things such as criminal damage, harassment, arson to suggest a few. Plus the people targetted might discover it was you then come after you then you will be in an even worse position.
Plus people reading this thread may be perpetrators of such nasty behaviour as opposed to having suffered it and be getting some more ideas.
So just leave it and move on.
However you could fill in their details for lots of offers targetted at old people in the back of the Daily Express ........... .
