Neighbor Hitting Hard Balls into Yard w/ Kids

"How about saying something like
You are putting my children at risk by hitting baseballs into my
yard.
I will not allow this to continue. If you do not stop immediately, I
will
call the police.
Then, if he doesn't stop immediately, call the police. There's got to
be a
law against intentionally endangering the lives of children (or of
anyone
else, for that matter). "
This seems like the best advice to me. I also like the ideas of
sending him letters telling him to stop, which documents you put him on
notice. I would send that letter both regular mail and certified with
a return receipt.
And by all means, stop doing this, which is only being a wuss:
"He replied "I wouldn't
care", then invited me to hit a few. What was I to do or say to be a
decent neighbor, so I accepted, also so I could see more closely what
he was doing. "
