bigun, I don't think anyone is suggesting vandalism is okay.It isn't but sometimes it is the only way to get satisfaction from some a****le.The fact that you are willing to toe dance makes you a rarity in the modern world. Most young guys today pull stupid s*** or run their mouth then hide behind a lawyer when they have to answer for it. If I'm provoked far enough I'll resort to vandalism as a second to last resort.Last resort,well....................................... ....

 

Have you tried to find out where he lives, so you could talk to his folks?
Although some way to prove he was doing it wouldn't be bad. A picture or a video would be a good thing.

I don't know about revenge. If you do something, you're pretty much goading the kid to strike back again. Things may settle down on their own at this point. Also, YOU don't want to be caught messing around with somebody else's property.

Sometimes, some creative solutions work -- although, I'm not sure if we could do this today.

When we lived in our old house, a couple of kids were coming around and pulling little stunts -- Not a lot of damage, but annoying.

My wife, who can be pretty incredible, waited in our dark breezeway with an unloaded (spring powered) pellet gun -- but it looked like a .45.

She surprised the next door neighbor and another kid ( both early teens). They bailed over the fence.

We called the neighbors and got the kid. His mother later denied that he caused problems, but I think that she had a 'word' with him. Anyway, he came over later and apologized. My wife forgave him and all was well.

As for the other kid, his grandmother called. Apparently this incident scared the s**t out of him. I explained to the grandmother that it was all a fake, and she agreed that it was probably good for the kid. He never came around to talk to us, but we never had any more trouble.

good luck,

Okay, this is just an idea. Here's what I'm thinking.

Go over to the kid's house, introduce yourself to his parents, invite his family over for a barbeque, and supply the beer. Don't mention anything about the grass clippings, or the eggs, but be sociable. Basically, kill them with kindness. You will know what you're doing, the kid will know what you're up to, and the parents will have new barbeque buddies. Whether the kid fesses up or not is entirely up to him. But you're now one up on him, and you teach him an important lesson at the same time.

 

I agree with this statement.Then give the kid a dirty licken,and whatch the parents wonder what the heck their brat did this time.

 

This is the best idea yet. Wish I would have thought of it too. Can we come too ?

 

Maybe its time that you went down to the cop shop and spoke with a seargent, captain or whoever about the neighborhood. I am sure that they would be more than willing to work with you to clean up the neighborhood if they know that someone else is helping as well.
