A young man just vaulted my fence, ran across my garden, and scaled the wall of the building. I didn't see where he went, because the mortgage surveyor happened to be here and I didn't really want to make an issue of it.

If the jasmine overhangs his property, then he is allowed to cut it back, but only to the boundary line, no further. Is that what he was doing?

Stealth parkour?

Guess it's fine if you didn't see him hauling TV/furniture/valuables around...

And re: your neighbour... put seeds of loads of prickly/poisonous/annoying plants into his garden, that should keep him busy ;)
