spud gun :P
couple of years back we had some pretty grunty ones, which would no doubt leave a MASSIVE bruise, and most likely internal damage, too extreme?

Cops might say otherwise, but I feel that nothing is too extreme when you are protecting that which you own, and those that you love (including vehicles in the love part). Provided the measures scale with the aggressors. lol a spud gun to a 10 year old might be too harsh.
In all seriousness, I would just want to scare the shit out of kids so they don't do it again, and like has been mentioned they run home with piss in their pants and are forced to apologise by their parents. BUT like spike mentioned earlier, that can backfire when the parents are not reasonable people.

Ahh the Spud Gun, we had one that got a good 200ft on. Great waste of potato's one new years! Went back to the park next day to see mashed potato!
I do hope we are all resonable and good parents on here. I work in several schools, and you would be surprised at how much parents defend what their kids have done in class and what the teacher saw and what the parent saw (who wasn't there) is just astounding some of the answers you can hear.

hey evo, hope youve made a welcome post so we can here about you
yeah other options to get them that i know is plant fast growing shallow rooted trees near the fence line, lift the concrete footpaths up no matter how good you are you will trip over them in the night. self closing gates, an closed gate is easy to jump or nock over and wont stop them for long, a large fence with an open gate walk in trip the sensor electric actuator closes gate, now theyre trapped in a big compound =D
or you can go with some of dads major security stuff, low tech and it works most of the time

unless you actually catch them in the act I wouldn't be too quick to blame the kids. I was out one day and spotted a bunch of magpies (birds not footballers ) busily ripping the windscreen wiper rubbers and valve caps off cars parked in the street, I have also seen crows (or ravens) doing the same.
parrots can also be very damaging although I haven't actually seen them except one chewing on my extension cord. would have been interesting to see him get through it.
My daughter had a pet black rabbit it was a pain in the bum it used to chew through all the TV antenna leads and power cables. had to watch it all the time. it ended up spending its days in a cage outside.
on another note, the guy up the road from me got home one day and noticed a couple of bikes in the garage he had gone out for petrol and left the garage door open. went inside and saw a couple of behinds disappearing over the back fence.
locked the bikes in the garage.
couple of days later there is a knock at the door, an embarrassed fahter with a child in tow was asking for the kids bikes back.
Ray was a guard at a prison so gave the guy and the kid a no holds barred run down on what prison life was like, the kid got a clip over the ear on the spot,(by dad) , bikes were returned, hopefully learnt his lesson.

Spud gun, we had an orange cannon that got a good 100m with a petrol/air mix. A mate took this one further - a golf ball gun... Very dangerous! And unpredictable in the "straight" shooting - sometimes the ball would do a full 90 degree swing to the left or the right. That gun was getting up to 450m! Sometimes we couldn't see the ball after it was shot.
Good times - but definitely not recommended in the suburbs to deter kids.
What might be useful though is a motion sensing gas gun that's used for scaring birds in vineyards. Get close enough to one of them when they go off and you'll know about it - frightening shockwave! I can now see why in the world wars you hear of the shell shock, I never understood it until that day on the motorbike in the vineyard (gas gun on timer though, I was just unlucky!).
The gas gun will 1) shock the kids 2) wake the neighbourhood (parents might find kids coming home shortly after - good thing?) 3) attract police attention and possible unwanted fine and possibly 4) the flogging/borrowing/disappearing of your gas gun...
Cheers

Your grammar is painful to decipher.Matt wrote:I am with the basebat and give chase.. lol! And watch crimes cause i can run... :P Although some, i am pretty sure council worker, (as they where working next door with a wet cement saw) decided they need my back tap fitting more then i did and took off with it. And throw my front hoses around as they have Copper fittings so therefore they are useless to them, done up nice and tight.
I pay them enough rates, i am sure they can afford the fitting!
PS Sorry to any council workers on here! But man i was pissed off with the hole pain in ass of it all.
From Townsville aye? Is that Queenslander speech?
(I'm Canadian, new to Oz)
Sure is North Queenslander Speech! :P lol or a maybe just a little bit tired...

I might be headed up that way sometime.
I don't yet have a long term commitments in Australia
and since my arrival in SW WA back in Feb 2011
except for heatwaves, most nights and mornings have been cooler than I'd prefer.
Townsville has much better weather imho. (cyclones and summer floods aside. )
WA is better for surf though and I enjoy WA's rainless, long summer days.

Things here have got much better since the house next door was bought by a local cop.
Haven't lost a single thing since he and his cop wife moved in.
They went through the local hoon population on the first weekend. Was a joy to watch. Musta been a dozen POS Commodores and assorted shitboxes with yellow and red stickers on the windows around the neighbourhood.
No tagging, no street signs knocked over, most of the local doof doof wankers turn their sound systems down.....even the P-platers have slowed down a bit.
Seems word got around real quick when they transferred in from western Sydney that they won't stand for any crap.
Time will tell.

Really?? Things have changed over the years. Once had neighbourhood hoon doin' all sorts of stunts too close to home - on a corner block with a copper and family living directly opposite of one street, another same on the other opposite street. Neither achieved any result. It took a few match sticks placed strategically in all four valve tits in the dark of the night (just after another stunt so he knew what it was for) - done by a pair of civillians
