colterphoto1 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 what would YOU do? The Sheriff is stretch too thin around here.They can't afford a man to arrest speeders and those who constantly blow through the 4-way stop here. Let alone catch these juveniles.

sheltie dave Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Michael, a few well placed rocks, or long 2x4s with the quarter moons really do a good job on suspensions and tires. A friend would always have teens cutting the corner on his extensive yard, so one weekend we threw some shrubbery in place to funnel the cars over three different quarter moon spiked areas. He had nine hits that night with all four tires flattened. The kids all got three tickets and a visit to jail for their illicit driving.

Daddy Dee Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Dave has given some pretty good advice, if it can be managed. It's too bad for such to be required, but it's the nature of tough love. We get those on our church property, too. Haven't taken any measures, though. We just call them crop circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Michael is that your property? no I just live here. Dave, I understand nails in a 2x4, but don't understand the 'cresent' reference, can you explain? I do have some large rocks I suppose I can use to deter this, nothing like creating something to trim around! grrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Keep this in mind, KNOWINGLY putting boards with nails down might put some culpability on your shoulders. I agree though that these punks deserve a large smack upside the head. [:@] I keep walking a line myself on fighting a similar kind of fight and being 100% that NO ONE can come back on me. I do that by (in my specific case) having worked with the county AND TVA (I share a common border with Tennessee Valley Authority, a horrendous neighbor, that's probably near a mile long?) They are the ones that have put up the no parking signs, authorized obstructions and actually, go to the extreme of authorizing me to dig a ditch about 4' wide, 4' deep and maybe 200' long to act as a 'anti-tank (truck) ditch' Remote camera, catching them in the act? Hide out & be there...it's not like you're not up all night anyway!! [6] Perhaps some 'yardwork' where you dig a trench across the line so they'll get stuck? too bad you live in the city. It's kinda cool being here to do that seeing as I've got Brutus to help me. ticks me off just seeing what they did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 If this was done on my land by punks.be sure I would place a good few boards with SCREWS sticking UP.And some well placed stones about. Let the next low life end up with busted tires and as much damage to the car as possible.The rejects must repent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 i suggest a little small arms fire. AK-47 or AR-15 fits the bill here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 i suggest a little small arms fire. AK-47 or AR-15 fits the bill here. Very good,lets order some anti tank mines set to detonate when a 250 plus kilo onjects presses on the trigger. I heard Surplus Army Plus has some cheap!

Gilbert Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Dang, they got you pretty good. At least they didn't toilet paper your trees. Can't say I've never done that kinda of crazy stuff [A]....., but is sure looks like it's time for a trip to Lowes or Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Wait a minute! Colter cannot resort to violence, now that he's part of the Klipsch team. My suggestion is next time they rip up your lawn, invite them in to listen to your various Klipsch set-ups. Try to get them to see the wrongness of their ways, and go to the light, the goodness that is Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 1000% Violence does not solve problems,problem is these people if invited will leave with all his speakers and Colter will have to untie himself after! They may even take his haircut ! .

Doc Robin Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Rail road cross ties make real nice speed bumps; I have used them to mark the property line before with very good results. But they are something else to trim around. Later Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 No nails or screws, Michael. People can injure themselves and you will get sued if someone steps on one. The crescents are like cat claws. They are set in planks, are three to six inches high, and have the sharper pointed edge pointed at the car travelling their way. Tires roll over them, and pop, there goes the tires. You can step on them and not hurt anything. They use these at parking lots to control route of travel, usually posted at exit only lanes. They are guaranteed to take care of wrong way travel. Anyone who cuts over your lawn will be looking at a minimum of $200 - $400, plus a tow. All you need to do is sink a railroad spike in each end to anchor the plank in the ground, invite a couple buds over for a relaxing evening of listening to Klipsch, and pop the cans until the fireworks start. Long term - you may be looking at bollards, put you are talking about $$, time, and sweat that you want to spend on something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eq_shadimar Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Well I am not sure if this will help in your situation but when I was young we always had kids busting through piles of leaves in the fall. This always pissed off my Dad as we always had to spend several weekends raking them and then hauling them off. Well one year my Dad did some landscaping in the form of several large boulders and we just happened to dump all the leaves on top of them. Well you can just image what happened after that. Cars make such a noise when meeting up with large rocks. Dad removed the boulders in the spring and we never had an issue again. If he was to do that today I am sure he would get sued but in the early 70's you could get away with that stuff. It was pretty funny especially when Dad called the parents [] Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
