Talking with your neighbors and working out a group community plan is an excellent idea.

At least two years, and he's simply stayed with peeping. This will sound strange, but that's actually a good thing. He's a very mild type then.

Don't get yourself too much into a lather over his having been scared off by your wife thinking she saw him in the window. That's *far* different then what you did when you saw him. The former probably only made him gasp, your pursuit on the other hand would have been truly frightening to him.

So he will probably lay low for a while, perhaps even some months. Most likely, he will be back eventually. This means you're probably going to have to work a bit on keeping the neighbors vigilant in their watch.

You've also got to decide if you want to catch him, or deter him. The approach is very different for the two. Outdoor dogs, guinea fowl, motion lights and such are all good deterents, but defeat attempts to catch him.

Personally, I would recommend deterence, but I do understand the desire to capture. Remember though, if you want to catch something or some one, you have to have bait, and a trap. You'll need both of them.
