Think that slinging them back over the fence is more likely to antagonise them. No need to add to any disharmony.

I must say I thought the same as you Takahashi. In fact I thought we had to return them to whoever owned them, else it can be construed as theft?
I have just done the same here actually, but only with a small amount of greenery, so if I don't post any more you will know it is because I have been arrested!
Incidentally, I did pop a note through the man's door asking if he could possibly cut his greenery down a bit, or would he mind if I did, wrote my phone number on the note, but he totally ignored me, so that is why I cut it myself.
I can't afford to have skips or pay people to take it away, especially when it's not even my shrubbery!

Bamboo nextdoor other side:
Could you post a better picture of the plant in the foreground of picture number 5. The one with the clump of ivy in the background. It looks like it may be Japanese Knot Weed. In which case the neighbours have a big problem!

Re: Angry about hedges!
Commiserations Tessa I not only have my neighbour's Leylandii hedge at the bottom of my garden that I trim myself most of the time with difficulty, (he does the top once a year) but also a dirty word in my house bamboo 
I moved my raised beds away from the fence and laid a lined gravel path to avoid the bamboo but it still manages to break through in places
. My neighbour has his shed next to the bamboo and I am told he has just had to replace the shed floor because the bamboo had pushed up the floor
'the biter bit'

Indeed, the Japanese used bamboo in a particularly nasty way as a means of torture. They'd cut it down and tie someone down on top of the stems. Bamboo stops at nothing and would, over a relatively short period grow through the person being tortured.

Fortunately, it had caused no structural problems.
