I have been partially following this item, and there are some
really sick and vindictive people out there :).

If these people are really getting on your nerves why not
build and IR or RF switch. In NZ the main power feed and
meter box is located outside the house :)
Hook up a big fat relay and turn their power on and off for
them :).
I did this manually some years back when the people next
door decided to have a party that lasted until 4AM, actually
it was a little nastier, I pulled out ALL the fuses and left them
in their mailbox.
