But do they have any sort of liability for having left loose rocks onto public path, used to damaged my car?
With respect to the bin argument - Bins are placed on public footpaths UNDER INSTRUCTION from the council / corporation? Here their would be clear ownership of responsibility if something were to occur? This is an interesting one - does the small print somewhere stipulate that we should put the bins on public footpaths OR have to keep them on our property?
... In this case, you would hope common sense would prevail...
... Surely some discussion should be the first step before even considering legal action?...
Of course another question - does the neighbour own the house or is it rented??

Few neighbourgs have put large rocks on the grass patch in front of their house, outside their garden boundaries, onto public path.
Last week at night, some drunk head picked up a stone (approx 8 pounds), carry it for 40 yards or so, and threw it onto my car (was the first car they found on their way), which damaged very badly a door as you could image. My car was parked onto the road.
Only one of these neighbours has painted his rocks..and the rock used to hit my car was painted. I have taken photos in the morning.
I have never had any issue with any neighbours, so i am quite sure they have nothing to with the incident itselft.

The situations are not analogous; the neighbour would require a fire-arms certificate for the gun and if what you describe happened, he (the neighbour) could be liable to prosecution; I am not aware of a requirement to have a rock licence or certificate, unless of course Biffo & Co have a new money-making scheme up their sleeves where a citizen needs a licence in order to retain possession of any property.Suppose your neighbour left out a loaded gun and a drunk picked it up, ...
