I dont know what's the matter with people today. This past Saturday night my yard got rolled, there was 7 rolls on one small tree, well, I shrugged that off, even though it's not halloween, it wasnt that bad then. But someone is getting a little carried away now. Someone strung fishing line alllll over my back yard, from tree to tree and even around the black pathfinder. I've never had so many neighbors this close, and now I know why. I love my house, just not where it's at. I did call and make a formal complaint, but there's 2 deputies live in this neighbor hood, one is @ 4 houses away. :twisted: Any sugestions???? I'd personally like to hide with a bb gun and sting them a little, but .... it'll all come out in the wash, or when it rains again.

Just post A bunch of Signs that say Jesus is Watching you...
Then have one of those audio bibles play outside twenty four seven... also motion lights work to... and get a life size cardboard thing of a person and place it to where they will only see a shadow... they will think someone is there.

I saw on the Discovery Channel show "it takes a thief" where they have motion sensing "rainbird" sprinklers... someone walks in front of them and they get soaked...

paintball gun. the good ones put out more than 20 rounds a second now :twisted: or tennis balls in a potato gun (never tried that one but it sounds good) i'd say the classic rocksalt 12 guage but these days people might not understand.

i was gonna say paintball. thought about an airsoft pellet gun. shoots like a hard foam/maybe plastic pellets. ive heard of some kids around that suped one up and it would leave dime size welts from over 100ft away. just might have to watch where you shoot it though.

Rock salt burns, personal experience in an apple orchard when I was young. Stopped me from stealing apples though.

I like the ideas of a paintball gun or sprinklers that way they get marked for easy identification.

I keep my riot gun loaded with rock salt - neighbors' dogs don't come around my house (bothering my cat) after one good tag with it :twisted:

Yeah, I thought I'd have my sister and her husband come get one of my vehicles to make it look like I was gone, and see what happens. There's other houses got a piece tp, but mine was the main event. I happened to get pics of it, kinda thought it was funny at first, they got it good, better than at halloween. But didnt think to get one of the fishing line, just wanted it down before someone got hurt. I'll figure something out, give a man (boy) enough rope they'll hang themself.

I am almost convinced that it's a punk friend of one of your son's. If it's just some punk kid, then they are just bored.

I mean they are destroying anything, they are just being bored and annoying.

And I honestly have no clue what show you are thinking of! :shock:

Well I may have made some people mad the night I got rolled, went to Willie's ballgame, his team was playing my nephew's, and Willie used to go to school there too, so I set on the side with the former team, LOL, but I rooted for both teams, maybe they're more serious in Jr. high than I thought, LOL. Guess I'll set on the right side next time. No, we were rooting for the bears too. The apartments behind me dont have a good name, I dont even let my boys go down there to play with their friends that live there, they come here. Someone will mess up, especially if they "think" I'm not paying any attention to it. Hopefully it'll pass, or already has. No one I talk to has any idea whose doing it, or nobody's talking anyway. I'll just set here, mind my own business, not cause any trouble, that way the trouble's brought here, then I can deal with it my way. I'm not one for accusing someone without hard evidence, rather catch them redhanded. I'm sure it'll be fine though.

:lol: I know these kids are serious about the games, but then again it could have been something to do with Willie getting two technicals that game, :oops: even though they won, he just takes his game too serious. He had to set out the Championship game, :grin: (serves him right) because of it.

Ohhh Myyy Gooodnesss :!: Miss 80's trivia herself doesn't know the A Team? :shock: Somebody get me a grey wig, a khaki desert shirt & a cigar, then I can do the "I love it when a plan comes together" routine :toothy10: And who could forget Mr. T? :lol:

Yes, Sam - if I remember correctly it was Murdock :wink:

Wow, I still remember the theme music for that show :roll:

One of Tj's friends has a paintball gun, a good one, he done said I could borrow it. Man, frozen ones would really hurt. I'd rather splatter them though. Give them a mess for a mess. So far nothing else. Bad thing though, I cant hear nothing through this house. I dont even hear when people pull in the driveway. The dog doesnt bark at hardly anything, usually if there's another dog wandering around. :roll: Could make some paint bombs,(instead of water), probably come closer to getting them with one of them than if I was shooting something.

Lets just try to forgive and forget on this one. I know how you feel though. I have had my mailbox bashed too many times to count.

02-13-2007, 09:11 AM
Yeah, I think the one that done it got work I did let the cops know things were going on. I kinda suspected my neighbor boy, and his sister was here when I made the call. I think he was mad at me cause I told him to go home the other day, and didnt like it. The man up stairs sees who it is, He'll make it known, or trip him when he goes to do it again.

Did the dog help? Maybe you need to change his food, T-bones make them very loyal. If he snickered at you when you found all the stuff he was in on it, it's a sure sign of a dog gone bad.

Well I think you can do one of two things. lay in wait find out who it is and where they live. and then roll there house with duck tape.no wait to loud. Either way roll them back. or get a bunch of dog poo and leave it all over your yard (land mines). when they realize they stepped all in dog poo then I bet they won't do it again. Plus your yard will get fertilized. :grin:

Just pray about this please, I'm really disgusted right now, cause no one is owning up or claims to not know nothing. God knows and He has his way of revealing the truth. Getting aweful aggravating not knowing what kind of mess I'm gonna wake up to. Just pray, that's all I know to do.
