The message from "JennyC" contains these

Any advise on deterring teenagers welcome.

Prickly hedge
Automatic movement sensor triggered lights
Play classical music loudly

I have found that treating teenagers as reasonable
human beings usually helps....

Reasonable human beings don't climb into folks gardens and throw the back
gate into the undergrowth. For many years I donated my time as a CI to an
ATC squadron where I met and became friends with a lot of very pleasant
teenagers. Sadly we have a minority here who seem to gain pleasure from
destroying and marking other peoples property.
