We had that happen when we rented for the month of January. Every morning our garage door would go up and we started to notice the same car leaving the front of the house. We thought it may have been someone who just happened to have the same code and hated the dreaded short term renters and they were just messing with us. Turned out it was the neighbor across the street and he had no idea it was happening. We got permission from the owner to clear out all the codes and reprogram the opener and all was well.
In your case I would imagine it would be best to talk to your neighbor about reprogramming his opener. I don't think the remote can be programmed. Reprogramming only takes a few minutes and ALL his remotes would have to be programmed again. Instructions can be found online. Good luck!
