Buy a radar gun also.Most county roads have speed limits even if not readily posted.

Get the county to pave the road.

It would NOT piss me off if they paved this road but I aint gonna hold my breath.

Even if I showed a radar gun showing 80 if a cop does not do it its worthless. Heck around here it seems ANYTHING is legal as long as the cops do not see it.

The speed bump idea could be done.(opposite really. Huge trenches be really easy) but then they would be doing the burnout thing with pipes revving at all hours for the morning after they slowed for them. I know where most of them live and if we get antoher one of those pouring rain so bad you can't see the road I am betting that thier road is gonna wash out. Its layout makes it very susceptible to this. They would be landlocked till it was repaired. The ditches there can swallow a full size truck for breakfast in each direction from thier house. Erosion bad... :]

The camera thing is my best legal bit but my cameras I have are not quite good enough to get the plate numbers. The distance from the road to my house is so that I am already taxing the range of the wireless.

The stinger missle is a good idea. A land verison is do-able. Just a little different ammo. Whats the worst smelling stuff you can get for animal deterant? Fox piss? I have heard of skunk shot but not big on having that around here. But may use it elsewhere.

I wish I could ignore it. I tired for three weeks and it just got worse to the point of them stopping in front of the house revving thier pipes till a light comes on then they take off tearing up the road. They do not care about cops as they have been in trouble so many times its not funny. When soemthing is going on I go out the back with "bessey Lou" Shes got a bark from hell and a bite thats worse. The cops tell me I cannot shoot to defend my property but I say when there are four drunk azzholes in a truck yelling and everyother thing I am not gonna wait till they shoot first if they pile out. I need to get a couple rocksalt shels for the first two. If they are still coming after that...... I have been warned by people who have known them all thier lives and they have down shit before with guns (nothing serious yet but when are they gonna start?)
I have bb chips in a couple windshields that I KNOW were not there from road stones and I told the cops if I am out there at night (I watch the stars a lot) and they shoot bb's I will return "bb's" via 12 gauge jsut more than one at once.

What I want more than anything is a badger-a-pult.
Launch a creature into thier open window. That would be fun to see. Bill

I might add that the disrespect these dipweeds have for the law is unreal. They have been back here a few times less than a half hour after the cops were here and go talk to them. The last time I got the cop to hang around for a bit they stayed away. This JUST occured to me that they likely have a scanner. I will mention this (if.... lol) when it happens again and see if the cops can use that to his advantage. Bill

The only way you're going to win this is to just let it be. Ignore them totally. When they see that you are not allowing yourself to be agitated by them any further the fun will be gone. It'll take a while now since you've upped the fun factor pretty far already for them but you just need to outlast them.

I decided to add this lil bit JUST in case this can help you along the way dealing with "somone" who deserves it.

The first is to get a large bag of sugar. Use 3/4 of it at home making cookies or whatever. Then keep the rest of it in your car (In a ziploc prefferred.) When someone needs a "lesson" you take the bag and pour maybe half (or a bit less) of it on the ground right under thier gas cap and leave the bag there. You NEVER touched their car and the worst you can do is get a littering ticket. But when they come out and see it they see thier pride and joy with a large nearly empty sugar bag sitting there by some spilled sugar. What do you think they think?

On that note I bought two large bags of sugar today.

This next cost more and can get you in trouble. FInd out the year and make of thier car and byuy a bargain locking gas cap (Or a $$$ one if you care enough to send the very best) and put it on thier vehicle and toss the key in the trash. When do they stop for gas? Usually they running late and in a hurry. You whip into the gas station and bammo. Theres a locking gas cap that you do not remember buying and you don't have a key. This one will get you in trouble if caught so "don't do it"...... ;] Bill

I wish Fabr but I tired for three weeks to do nothing and ignore all the skid marks and revs but then they started stopping and doing massive trenchmaking burnouts and things like revving the motors to the gills. Being that that did not work I go to my prime philosophy.

"I am one hell of a friend...But an even BETTER enemy."

lol Thats OK. I live in pain most days and lotsa times do not care so much anymore. I know one thing. When I go. Someones going with me. If I do not get them I have a family member who will see to it loose ends are wrapped up. I will do the same for them if need be. Being old has its perks. I am only 39 but thats old as far as the men in my family go. 50 is rare for us. Very rare.
