I have neighbors that I really don't get along with, and they have 4 rotten little kids that like to destroy property, everything from eggs to spray paint and markers on the side of the house/car AND they enjoy getting my dogs (2 big chows) going in the back yard by throwing various things and spitting on them....
anyway, the bad part is they are too young for me to do anything, so I'm trying to come up with some good ways to get them back. (parents included)
another thing that drives me nuts is the amount of garbage they leave outside....piles and piles of it, too lazy to drag it to the curb...... grrrrr. :mad:

so any ideas that won't get me in too much $hit would be greatly appreciated. :grumpy: I think I have sat on my hands and kept my mouth shut for long enough.

Thanks, Steve.
 
I would collect all your dogs $hit in a big bag and dump it on the front and back stairs so they have to step in it to get out of the house. ;) :D
 
Steve, I had neighbors like that. They lived in a rented house next door, and for no reason, the kids vandalized our and our neighbor's property. My wife and I were sitting in our livingroom when we heard something hit the side of our house. I went outside and spotted the neighbor kid about to throw another brick against our house. I yelled at the kid and he lit off for home. Adding insult to insult, the kid had part of our handlaid brick walk torn up and using the bricks to throw against the house. The kid's mother heard me yelling at the kid, looked around the house, and started back inside. I yelled for her to get her #**&%#! husband out there. Her bored husband came outside. He just about yawned when I was unloading on him. When I saw that, I really went ballistic on him and told him how I was going to kick his ass next time the kids tore something up on my property. Well, THAT did get his attention, and we had no more trouble from his kids. Our neighbors still had damage caused by his kids, but they stayed away from my property. I guess he didn't care at all, until he realized HE was gonna pay the price for his nutcase kids.
 
John, that sounds like a spitting image!
the problem with this is, the father in my case, has been commited for mental health problems and is now so doped up on whatever they gave him he can't say his own name without slurring......
to add to everything else, these ppl are what most would call sue crazy, the wife has taken her last 2 employers to court, and 3 other families on the street.
the cops are already pretty much parked in the drive way 5 days a week, but there is nothing the cops can do....

I'm going nuts....
 
Good fences make good neighbors.

If they destroy your property, send them a bill with a polite note asking how they would like to take care of it.
 
it's so funny you would say that....
we are currently fighting over a tree that is on our property line, that is stopping us from getting a new chain link fence up wednesday!
they won't cut it down, and I'm afraid that if I cut it down then I'll be in court by the end of the month.....
the town laws state that you cannot have a tree within 3 ft. of the property line for just that reason!
I'm thinking I'll have to carve the side of it out and wait for it to die, then they can pay for the fence repairs when it falls.... :rolleyes:
 
My wife had neighbors like that before we were married, we had a BBQ and invited them over,(kids and all), got to know 'em better over beer and BBQ, and for the rest of the time my wife lived there they were great neighbors.

They even watched the place when we were gone and chased the other kids away.

If that don't work hire a 15 year old to beat the crap outa the kids and leave them with a message that if they f*ck with you anymore they break their legs. :eek:

The above statment was intended for entertainment purposes only, and at no time would we ever really endorse the employment of children as strong arms in the resolution of a neighborhood conflict

Paintball gun, put the paintballs in the freezer first, then shoot, stings like hell.

Go to Shomer Tech's site, they sell a lot of stuff to LEO go to this page and take your pick.
" Police/Military » Cool Stuff » Revenge Products"

If you can't find the link email me and I'll send it to you.
 
I was thinking about using my pb gun too... even not frozen it would scare the hell right out of them and still hurt....
but then I can see them calling the cops on me cuz I did something to the little angels... :rolleyes:
I did find the link too, nothing there would really do it, they would probably think it was cool more than anything else.
I'm thinking about buying a nice lot of rats from the pet store and letting them go in the garbage pile in the back yard, they will make it indoors before it gets too cold.. that would be nice, and they could never point fingers at me.

Not pet store rats... They're pretty dumb and far too trusting. Catch some of the real deal somewhere and let those loose.
 
Put up a rat proof fence, then turn loose rabid rats in their trash pile and in their house. Warn them of the buried mines in your yard. Hope their house burns down. We had some burglars living up the alley that kept hitting houses around our neighborhood. They kept getting arrested, but put on probation. Finally, the house burned down. I know nothing of how the fire started, but it was a good thing. One bunch of lowlife that occupied the house next door to us had two convicted burglars and a ho living there. I figured I really had an honest worry about my shop and equipment, so I let one of the thieves in on a little secret. I arrived home one day without wearing a jacket, and let him see my pistol that I wear on my off duty time. He eyes got big when he saw the gun. I walked over and chatted with him and told him I heard someone prowling around out back the other night, and I shoot prowlers. Notice taken, evidentally. We had no trouble while they lived there. Of course, you can't just shoot a prowler because they are prowling, but he knew what a hint was.
 
Gotta recommend a book series..."Get Even" Nothing but ways to get revenge...simple thing from super glue in locks to sicking the irs on them.
remember deny everything...all the time.

That was going to be my answer. A convenient(and of course, accidental) fire can solve a lot of problems.:eek: ;)
 
I wouldn't go with a chainlink fence. I would go with a privacy fence,least 5 ft tall. Either chain link with the vinyl threaded in or wooden.

As far as the tree and not being able to build a real fence....T posts and hot wire. Lots of chargers out there that run off 120V house outlet, and will charge about a mile of fence. So you could have about as many strands on your fence as you want if you string it right. Zap the little bastards :D

I wouldn't go with the rat idea, too much chance of them coming back to your house if your just letting them go in their yard.
 
well we can't go with a privacy fence cuz the dogs figured out that with enough force they can rip off the slats :rolleyes:

we are getting the privacy plastic strips put in tho, and it's a 6 ft fence.
I'll probably just run a line around the top, if they try to climb it they get a surprise.

I like the super glue idea too, problem is I'm positive they don't lock the doors anyway....

I'm just tired of living beside such a group of complete idiots......why can't they just move...... bla.........
 
If they rent, talk to the landlord and threaten to hold him as a third party in a damage lawsuit. Let him know that they are lowering your property values and causing mental stress.

If that doesn't work go for the dirty tricks. Like John, I've had some bad neighbors. I built here when it was rural and suddenly it became popular for yuppies. I had one jerk who built about a block away that was always complaining about one thing or the other. One time he called the Sheriff's Dept because I was forging with un-approved gas. I still haven't figured that one out yet. The Deputy left after a a few unpleasant words (can you believe it, me unpleasant) :footinmou

Anyway, the neighbor's grass died, his shrubs all turned brown, his sewer lateral got a balloon stuck in it, he developed a spring where his water line was.

Thank God he moved!

Sometimes you just have to respond.

yeahup one of the old weed choppers that were outlawed would do great..

go to your local hardware store and get a bag of short roofing nails
and feed their drive-way a little at a time :D

IG great Idea but light it on fire first then knock on the door then run they will stump on it then that used to be a trick or treat gag years ago.

dial 1167 then their phone number at about 2:00 am

but don't stay up to do it, get a fax machine or use your computer fax to dial it for you set it up to repeat the call about 2-3 time each 10 min or so only every other night and at random, it will drive them nuts you'll sleep like a baby..and they won't be so spunk during the day :D
I wish I was there to help you sounds like a blast :D
 
Before you do anything talk with a lawyer and find out what your options are, then if you have to get nasty with them.
 
Speak to the lawyer first.

Try being nice to the parents, ask them to control their kids.

Have a talk with the kids one on one, be polite.

If that doesn't work.

Vise grip
Dremel
Marathon Man DVD

Have the kids come over and watch the movie, be a nice guy and share a great piece of cinema! You can use the dremel/vice grips for a craft project with the kids after the movie. Something to do together for a bonding session. Maybe they just need a "father figure".

"is it safe to come out?"

If you still have problems after that, I dont know what to do. Pray for forgiveness. Ask the Lord to guide you.

Dont shoot the house with paintballs, bad for the sport.
