I've had that happen before! When I used to live in Enterprise, Ks, I had a neighbor who would watch for when I turned the garage light on, then he'd call the cops. He lived four houses down from me and on the opposite side of the street, and since I was friends with the next door neighbor and he hated my next door neighbor, I was automatically a target. The difference between this house and that one is, my garage is completely insulated and finished, so you can't hear anything from across the street. (We've tested that!)

I had the cops called on me about 4 or 5 times, and every time the cop would come by he'd have to knock on the garage door. I asked him each time he came by if he heard anything, and he told me "No, but if there's a complaint I still have to come out." So I said "Ok, whatever you have to do, I'll keep it down". Funny thing is, the next week the offending neighbor got his dog taken away for "excessive barking", don't know who might have called that one in!!

I've dealt with too many a$$holes to play nice anymore!
