I've just moved in to my new house and the kids from the houses behind me keep coming into courtyard and playing around my cars
Now I want some proof of any damaged caused to my cars of any
Anyone suggest a good quality camera that I could pop on the side of my garage ?
-
Or ask them politely to go play elsewhere?
-
Yea I did earlier and they have me some lip and went away
Five minutes later I see one of them squeezing down the side of the other halfs car again
I understand there kids and just having a good time , I have nothing against that BUT they don't understand how much damage there buttons zips ect are doing to our cars as they squeeze down the side of them to play hide and seek ect !

It's only a mk3 :lipsrsealed:
-
Perhaps they've never seen a mk3 out of water :smiley:

But don't knock the mk3 ha !

as good as any camera is, if its just a scratch your not going to be able to prove they did it, just prove that they were near there on the day that it occoured... any damage the camera could pic up i.e. them falling into the car and putting a big dent it could be picked up on a webcam. so just set a webcam up in your window to record out the window onto your computer and save your self the money of buying a full cctv type system my opinion

Recording the local kids with his webcam ?,that will go down well with the neighbourhood a scratch on his car will be the least of his worries when they come after him with the pitchforks :grin:

Your just winding yourself up let it go, dont bite
If you dont have a garage or private drive then this will happen.

If you're that bothered get a good quality car cover.

Fence it off , or put dog poo down between the cars , the soon bugger off when they know as dog poo kid,

Dog poo works wonders. Many years ago, youths kept ripping out posts on a new fence my father was installing. He smeared all the posts with dog poo (we bred dogs so had an endless supply), it happened once more then never again. I remember his satisfaction at seeing the fingerprints in the poo :grin:

CCTV seems the best solution from this point of view, but all it does is prove not prevent

If were talking private houses u can only really do what everyone has suggested ^
- But with Council houses, do ur homework find out the house number the sh!t lives at and complain to your council, also ring the police on harassment, criminal damage, stone throwing- the parents will get a whole load of hassle and can face eviction, the kids wont come near the house again, but main thing is keep complaining daily and get your next door neighbour to as well more the better

What a rediculous thing to say, how about you pop round when you know who the parents are and ask them to tell there kids to play elsewhere.
You're going to phone the council and complain about kids doing what kids do!

:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
aye, kick off with the council and watch the parents come round and start playing with your car more like
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Once kids (and some parents) know you have a boner about them playing near your car then they are going to yank your chain endlessly.
When we were kids we got told to play elsewhere by some Rasta at the top of the block when we accidentally set off his car alarm playing runouts, it got to the point he chased us with a machete after about 3 days of setting his alarm off :grin:
Still went back but not as often, just enough to keep him pissed and us looking over our shoulder :laugh:
-
So let me get this right. You are enticing children in with your car, then want to photo them. There's a list for people like you :tongue:

All this thread has so far come up with it smear your car in faeces to avoid prison.
