A man claims his "neighbor from Hell" skipped court Monday, the day his trial was scheduled to begin.

Francisco Torres showed Local 10 surveillance video from his South Miami home that he said shows Mitchell Igelko doing yard work, picking up his mail, and running errands.

The timestamp was 9 a.m., when he was scheduled to be in court. At the time, his attorney asked the judge for a postponement, claiming his client was in the hospital with pneumonia.

"When I came back from court, I was trying to figure out where Mitchell was," said Torres. "I don't know how this man is so sick that he managed to do so much stuff. He can do that, he can go to court."

The judge granted Igelko's attorney the delay. His trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 14.

Igelko offered no comment to Local 10 on Tuesday.

Igelko was charged with two counts of criminal mischief and two counts of stalking last year. A judge granted Torres a restraining order against Igelko after producing he said showed Igelko egging his house, throwing nails onto his driveway, and killing his grass with chemicals. He also said neighbors suspected Igelko was behind several vehicles being doused with flammable liquids and a boat that was set on fire.
