If he dumps an old boiler/rubbish on your doorstep it's fly tipping for which he can be reported. If he's mucking about with your utilities and he's GSR registered you may have some redress with GSR. His parking habits can be reported as nusance behaviour to your council. None of the above is worth a damn unless you can prove it usually with photography or CCTV.
 
Turning off the Gas would be classed as;

Damage with Intent to Endanger Life
Criminal Damage Act 1971 s1(2),

The criminal damage is not required to be visible, and so if the damage caused impacts on the functionality of the property, the offence would still have been committed.

Intending by the destruction or damage to endanger the life of another or being reckless as to whether the life of another would be thereby endangered;
shall be guilty of an offence.


Particularly as he's probably Gassafe registered (if he fits boilers) and would know the consequences.

You'd need evidence, fingerprints on the gas valve handle would do, but you still need to prove the gas had also been turned off.

The maximum sentence for criminal damage is,, Life.

They can open a van in seconds with a device that sends a signal to your key fob from outside your property then opens the central locking how many of us hang keys up inside the front door, keep your keys hidden away even in a faraday pouch or similar signal blocker . Cheers kop

Cheers Kop
 
Jeez a tenner for a bit of kit off bloody amazon to get in to vehicles. Watched a video of just how easy it is to break in to a certain van even without that. Very very scary. Deadlocks anyone!!??

These bloody things beggar belief , that they can make them let alone sell them .
Back in the late seventies a manufacturer released a cordless grinder , wow ! thats handy to cut through chains and padlocks , it was withdrawn from sale so fast , they just disappeared. Obviously somebody had some common sense back then , and now they are back to help break in to our vans , sheds, garages and houses
 
If this is a genuine post , the fact he is messing with your gas is dangerous, I am pretty sure the police will get involved with this .
Is he gas registered ..check up The ins and outs of this are essentially your own business , most of it sounds like civil law, however interfering with utilities etc could be considered criminal damage and even worse. Membership of certain organisations and the granting of a licence to practice . Eg gas carries certain rules about behaviour . This is not my area of expertise Inam a design engineer but sleep with a barrister ....my wife !

I don't think the police would care, they don't investigate minor crime any more .

I'm also not sure that turning the gas off is dangerous, if I find a boiler that's dangerous I turn the gas to make it safe.
