Hi I know people on these groups are full of ideas and are very resourceful. I have been looking for a solution to my problem on the net. Basically youths won't stop sitting on my garden wall, despite my repeated requests and threats they continue to sit there. Basically they are noisy and wil eventually weaken the structure of the wall. I was wondering if any of you have any practical solutions? (apart from barb wire, glass on the wall or using a baseball bat on their knees etc lol) I would appreciate sensible and legal solutions... Oh yeah and theres no point moaning to their parents or police - thats useless. Any advice appreciated as its driving me nuts, having to constantly chase the brats. lol Thanks. Some kids really ****ed me off. Downstairs from my flat they would sit outside my bloody window and smoke pot and drink and bitch. Police came by once or twice. They would be there till one two... And it was summer during the hot days. So one night im like just go away. They said no so about 30mins later i went out walked around shot them about 15times with my paintball gun. Had the police around after just said i dont own a paintball gun... they said ok. lol and that was it. . . Paulo |

Add a row of bricks to the wall, but set at 45 degrees to the present wall
top. You can them claim "it's just to make it look pretty". Depending upon the people concerned most of the other suggestions may cause them to come back to you - Threats, bricks through window in the night, tyres slashed, etc. |

Paint your wall top with that black sticky gunk they use to keep pigeons
off ledges. Love it! Paul |

writes Basically youths won't stop sitting on my garden wall, despite my repeated requests and threats they continue to sit there. Basically they are noisy and wil eventually weaken the structure of the wall. I had a similar situation once. I hung a tape recorder out of the window and caught about half an hour of their 'conversation'. After that I called them in to listen to the tape and told them I would go to their parents if they didn't behave in a more civilised manner!! That was many years ago. Someone recently suggested videoing. Apparently, youngsters get very 'shy' when they realise that their anti social behaviour is being recorded. All you need is a fake video camera pointing at the wall. -- Jane Ransom in Lancaster.

why not just put a sign up saying WET PAINT or WET CERMENT or FU** OFF YOU
LITTLE *******S. How about a higher wall? and a 45deg slope on the top, so they can't sit on it then. best wishes "oo" wrote in message ... Hey folks Thanks for the tips, however I don't really want to smear dog shit or anti-vandal goo over my nice newly built wall. I'm fed up with these little brats and judging by the reaction they are nationwide problem. Where I live it can't be blamed on asylum seekers (the media and government seem to blame them for all anti-social behavior) as we have none. "oo" wrote in message ...

How about using some araldite (spelling ?) to stick some drawing pins on the top of the wall, small enough not to see them but do enough damage if placed the right distance apart. and cheap enough if the brats flatten them or try to get them off. H |

We have that kinda problem here.
To be honest if you give them any hassle, the more they will do it, so you may be better off to let it go for now. I know that's not the real answer, but society being the way it is now (a mess), it might be the best way to go, unless things get bad or outa hand. Lets face it winter will soon be here, & a little rain & cold works wonders! I'm not defending these kids/people in any way, it's just a bit of friendly advice to keep ya stress levels down & bricks from coming through your window Just my two pennith worth.

From: ß Ø ® G Date: 06/09/2003 20:48 GMT Daylight Time Message-id: Air rifles are good ICBW, but I think the poster was looking for a soloution that wouldn't involve a trip to court. The best soloutions so far have been either aggresive planting, or modifying the wall to be less 'seat' freindly with a new brick pattern. The other's would either end up with legal issues, or worse the neds having the desire to enact some revenge of some sort. There is a third possibility of course, the original poster said that they were fed up chasing the neds away, how about ignoring them? Chances are they are doing it for the reaction and once that reaction stops they will give up. It might take a couple of months for that course of action to work though. And sadly I can confess to knowing how the third course works because I used to be one of the sort of idiots that did it. I'm not proud of it and have grown up since then, but still... **************************** Rhiannon http://www.livejournal.com/users/rhiannon_s/ Q: how many witches does it take to change a lightbulb?

Paint it with a solution of dog shit mashed in water - two or three
applications and they won't sit there again. Tried & tested |

Hey oo I'm guessing I'm probably one of the youngest in this group having
recently turned 17. So therefore I still think a little that way. ANYTHING that can damage e.g. anti-vandal grease or whatever that stains clothes or glass etc will be destroyed, don't understimate these kids. How old are they by the way? If they're 14+ your well and truly screwed unless they get bored and move on. I read everyones comments and the person who seems to understand best is Willi, if you were around my area with my friends if you slightly got them angry by threatening them in anyway you'd definatly have a brick or a petrol bomb through your window. I'm not trying to scare you, just make you realise what kids are like. It all depends on your area and how bad these kids are, some teens know the law and don't have any respect for their parents, these kids are pretty much uncontrolable (don't get them mad). I'd say try to get some benches put in by the local council in a nearby field ;) and they'll move there :D My advice is probably pants but I hope it helps even if just a little. -- SPAMTRAP Hey If you want to e-mail me back you have to remove Your-Wallet ----------------------- Neopets is an online community of over 6 million!!

This is probably your safest bet legally, anything that will harm or damage them or their property would make you liable, an innocent bystander may temporarily sit on your wall to tie their shoelace etc and be faced with their clothes being damaged or themselves being injured. There are plenty of cases of burglars successfully suing residents of houses that they have broken into because of measures that the residents have taken to stop them being burgled that has resulted in the burglar being injured.

Yeh it depends what the areas like.
If the kids make to much noise round here, were talking 7-12 year olds here, then one of the neighbours goes out and tells them and then theres not a peep for a few months. I suppose thats the only advantage of living in a stuck up area. The area my school is in, is rough, try telling them that their and your in for it. Drawing pins seems a good idea, or put a security camera up - Theyre very cheap now from www.argos.co.uk "-=PrOzAk=-" wrote in message ...
