Kids playing around cars need a good camera ?
« on: 30 April 2014, 18:40 »
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 !

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.
