Maybe your neighbour has a nicer car than you which makes you feel insecure so you decide to beat yourself up and go to the police saying your neighbour did it.

Considering that possibility, I don't want to put your neighbour in prison.

And presumably, if having been denied justice I pursue revenge instead, I can barge into his home and beat him up, as he did to me, and avoid punishment for the same reason?

While I admire your devotion to Blackstone's Ratio, this doesn't seem like a recipe for stability and rule of law to me.
