When you say he's mentally retarded, do you mean technically he's retarded as in having the mental age of a child? If so then I think that's the explanation - kids like to fuck about with fire etc, and the fact that he seems really nice is irrelevant because he's not doing it to harm or threaten you, but just because he can.

Does he live on his own or with family?

Since I really don't have much experience with throwing those things the first thing I'd consider is.... How easy is a bottle that's tossed on a lawn going to break?

I mean yeah it can hit a big enough rock and break but whipping a bottle at grass usually won't break a bottle. Now I'm not sure if they'll still burst open if they just burn long enough. If that's the case then I guess yeah it's possible.

The other thing is how much access does your neighbor have to make one? Some people who are retarded sometimes have people who will at least keep an eye on them regularly. Is he just living in his own house and leading a fairly normal daily life? To the point where he'll go out get a can of gas, pour it into a bottle, and make sure he's rigged up a nice cocktail?

Neighbor's changing story sounds fishy. As is the fact that he is standing there watching the fire when you come out but not trying to put it out. He apparently put out the last one so he should know what to do and not just stand there watching.

I think neighbor setting fire is >>>>>>> than any other explanation.

So does neighbor live with a guardian of some kind? If so you may want to discuss the situation with them as they should be aware of any pyromaniac tendencies.
