moseeds Posted 1 November 2005 Author Posted 1 November 2005 Night vision goggles and a paintball gun, oh the fun you could have! I did think of this idea too, i thought I would set myself up in a sniper position (upstairs window slightly ajar, barrel flush against frame). But my I can't afford the paint gun just yet. i think your best buying a gun (unless you already have one) just shoot at them through one of your windows Again I have entertained this idea too. I thought I could borrow my mates air pistol or my other mates hunting rifle and fire some shots around knee-shin level to make my point. It should also make a sharp point in their leg giving me enough time to catch up with them and then.... They're only 14 or so. Sounds like you need to outsmart them. Use the old pincer formation. Nelson knew it, Montgomery knew it, and soon, you will.Get your mates laying in wait in the park in the dark. You might need to give them some dark camouflage regulation hoodies. Soomething like that. Maybe even give them some nice war paint if that's their thing. Anyway, when the little bastards egg your house, shout out something like "I'm filming you and passing the tape onto the police. I have informed the police, they are on their way." Maybe have a camera as a prop to make it more authentic. The little tykes will scarper back to the park laughing, unbeknown that they are running right into your trap. The surprise element will give your mates the advantage as you catch up to join in the telling-off. Good old trusty pincer formation. That is a very very smart idea. I will make a note of that. Well I tried the Starsky (no Hutch) stakeout mission and guess what - no sign of the devils. Anyway I had to shoot off, come back and find out there's been more trouble in the mean-time. The cops were down again to lend a sympathising ear. I'm ammassing a small army (at the moment 5 big lads) wait till I hit some more numbers and then Saturday nights are going to get interesting round my end I think...
Cat Burger Posted 1 November 2005 Posted 1 November 2005 This sounds mad I'd love to be your friend right now.
Hullfox Posted 1 November 2005 Posted 1 November 2005 Just catch one of them and force him to eat dog shit. Repeat for as long as necessary.

Leicfox Posted 2 November 2005 Posted 2 November 2005 What about a catapult then, this Jackal III should do the trick, afterall it does say it's for pest control! Thats a cracking idea, and it says pest control in the description so its ideal.
moseeds Posted 2 November 2005 Author Posted 2 November 2005 What about a catapult then, this Jackal III should do the trick, afterall it does say it's for pest control! Fantastic bit of research there mate. Top marks. Well today I didn't have the chance to do the stakeout. But fortunately rain stopped play today meaning the little kittens didn't want to get wet. Very manly. I am still building the army up. Few more phonecalls this weekend should prove to be fruitful.

Guest Posted 4 November 2005 Posted 4 November 2005 Install CCTV, film the buggers, and if the police don't do anything, you can sue them for damages (cleaning, any 'real' damage etc). The best thing about civil action is anything they have to pay out, apart from costs goes to you, and not the police.

The best thing about civil action is anything they have to pay out, apart from costs goes to you, and not the police. The only problem with suing the police is that: a) they are funded by the taxpayer and so have unlimited resources with which to mount a strong legal defence b) moseeds will have to fund his own costs until any award of compensation, with the risk that he may lose and thus shell out not just for his costs but those of the boys in blue. He could get insurance against losing the case, but again this costs, or he could try a no win no fee place, but again, they take their payment from any win, in which case, should moseeds win, he will get little for his efforts.

I think Lisa means suing the kids who are doing it, having identified them via CCTV.
breadandcheese Posted 4 November 2005 Posted 4 November 2005 I think Lisa means suing the kids who are doing it, having identified them via CCTV. Ah, apologies to Lisa for my misunderstanding. Can't imagine that the kids will actually have anything to sue for apart from maybe some stolen mobile phones, white trainers and a couple of hoodies. Guess that's still more than the kids' parents.
moseeds Posted 5 November 2005 Author Posted 5 November 2005 Hi all, Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I pulled my car into my driveway on Thursday night. Lo and Behold who is gracing my drive with their presence? Yes! The little rats. I had some passengers but nevertheless I was so tempted to attempt a roadkill. Sense prevailed I rolled the car past one of the scutter's knee - obviously not very bright because he still insists on wearing his white cap and white jacket which I have seen before. I rolled the window down and rolled past the scourge. He looked down then away. He knew the game was up. I'd seen his face. I spent the next hour or so spying on the area outside my window. The old man was doing the stake-out on the road opposite. Seems our little friends enjoy a little waccy-baccy to ease away a hard days work...no wonder harrasing ordinary citezens seems so damn hilarious. For two days now there has been no sign of them. If or when there is, I know exactly which little piggy is going to be eaten for dinner... watch this space. PS. If you live in the Humberstone/Scraptoft area the delivery car is a red Volvo Hatch...
Jordan Posted 6 November 2005 Posted 6 November 2005 Something very similar to the "wait until you know they're going to throw eggs, get out and beat the sh|t out of those little pricks" plan of action happened in the Bronx last week when teenagers were throwing eggs at a car. Only one of the egg-throwing "little pricks" had a gun and shot the guy who got out of his car to "sort them out." Moral of the story? Be glad you live where you do In all seriousness, though, maybe getting a few folks to have a word with them will do just fine. Either that, or wait for them to grow out of this silly phase.
Blue Arrow Posted 6 November 2005 Posted 6 November 2005 If you can't afford a paintball gun. Get a high power BB gun, guaranteeed to bruise, as i should know. good aim and you can knock half their teeth out. oops wasn't meant to mention the last bit.

No worries! It's the principle anyway
Sir JJ Wilcox Posted 6 November 2005 Posted 6 November 2005 Go round to there parents house and explain whats going on i f there not bothered egg there houses and see how they fooking like it.
moseeds Posted 6 November 2005 Author Posted 6 November 2005 Hi all, Thanks once again for the suggestions. For some reason the little monkeys have given up for the last 4 days - basically since I saw the white cap white jacket man eyeball me. Either they are planning big; the cold has got to them; or just plain can't be bothered anymore. Whatever it is I'm still apprehensive...maybe after a few weeks of no-action I'll be able to let down my guard. But until then...well we'll have to wait and see...
