Etiquette question: pre-emptive littering

Next to my land are over a dozen 256m parcels for sale by one owner, all priced ridiculously high. There are no ugly signs or anything, I think the owner may have an honest misconception about what this land is worth. Or for some other reason he doesn't really want to sell it...he doesn't have any objects on it and is never there.

When I moved in there was litter -- vehicles, houses &ct -- all over. I IMed the owner and asked nicely if he would set autoreturn. His profile says he has a typing impediment, and indeed he doesn't say much; I wasn't really sure if we were having a conversation. Anyway, he returned the larger pieces of litter one by one, but didn't set autoreturn on any of the land.

Naturally, next day there's more litter. I didn't want to badger the guy, given he has so much trouble typing, so instead of waiting for random stuff to accumulate I rezzed enough prims to fill up the land, leaving only 32 open so vehicles can pass over. They're small prims in a small, easily seen area.

Was this obnoxious? Or to be exact, was it more obnoxious than not setting autoreturn on land that you don't use?

I'd call it creative, but then, I'm notoriously obnoxious in some scenarios (in a cute cuddly kinda way *bats lashes*)
