Weird neighbor?

I live in a 3 family building next to another 3 family. This guy in the next building put an ugly, fake terra cotta plastic flower pot with a few spider plants and a big, ugly stick-like plant in the center right on my private patio one day while I was out.





He never said a word about it, but I knew it was from him because his patio is covered in those cheap plastic pots and big stick-plant things. So I decided to be polite and leave it on my tastefully decorated, simple patio for one week before throwing it away.





Ok, skip forward a week and a day. I'm sitting on my patio and he walks up to me and tells me "You know that plant you threw away? I put that there. It is a bananna tree urrounded by spider plants. I saw it in your trash can and thought you must have thrown it away because you didn't know who it was from. So I'm going to replant it and put it back for you."





What do you think? Is this a neighbor being friendly or is it creepy? What should I do?

Weird neighbor?
He's being very intrusive and you need to tell him thank you for the gifts but you left them there for one week and then decided they just were not your taste and please, no more plants. Than thank him again, end.
Reply:He's probably trying to be friendly, but just comes off as creepy. I say you just take the plant, say thanks, and put it in your backyard or something.
Reply:Leave it. What harm is it doing? Just don't give him any banannas when it blooms.
Reply:Sounds creepy to me. Almost like the beginnings of being stalked.
Reply:I would thank him for it and hope for it to die
