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. |

Skallys / Townies / Charvas / Neds most likley.
They probably wear track suit pants with their hands down them, socks pulled over their 'trackies'. Theres not much that will help legally, as you suggest a baseball bat would be a good start, maybe progressing to a gun. "oo" wrote in message ...

I have had a similar problem, but it's with kids running through my garden, I have no other option but to put up a fence, which I really don't want to, but if I want my plants to survive, it's the only thing I can do. You could put some thorny bushes behind the wall, so that they will grow over onto it, that should stop the kids from sitting there. |

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.

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.

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.

Not if you put a sign up to advertise the fact that the wall is private property, and that intruder paint is in use, and that it will damage any clothing. We have this exact same situation, we contacted the local police for advice, and they were happy for use to use intruder paint, as long as the signs were up. -- (D)inner not ready: (A)bort (R)etry (P)izza. |

No matter what solution you use, a warning sign is your best protection
against liability issues. Sprinklers are great, low liability issues and you water your garden. You can spend the money to automatically trigger it or use a remote trigger. You might get noise cancelling amplifier and speakers...not for you, but it would prevent them from being able to understand each other.

Jills? wrote: Get a CD of Bach and set the volume sufficiently loud enough for their listening pleasure. I was going to suggest something similar. There was a news story some time ago about a convenience store owner whose business had become a hangout for dopers and dealers and other n'eer-do-wells--a consequence of both his location and his decision to sell liquor. The cops were at best a very temporary solution, if they showed up at all. This guy got the idea of playing classical music through cheap loudspeakers mounted on the roof of his building. Whenever the groups gathered in the area, he would put on some of his favorites--Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Bizet, Wagner, ballet, opera, choral music--even monastic chants BIG GRIN. He would play it just loudly enough to be heard above the ambient street noise, conversation, and any boomboxes the undesirables happened to have brought along. Incredibly, it worked wonderfully! When interviewed the owner couldn't have been happier with the results. It took less than a single week to completely clear the thugs from the area, all on their own power. Last I heard, he was planning on letting other store owners in bad parts of town know about what great success he obtained with this method. Perhaps this would work for the OP, but even if it didn't, I bet the plants in the garden would love it. |
