If I'd had a backhoe I'm sure the culvert down the road a bit would've needed some repair work! Course, after my collision with the house I probably shouldn't ask for another implement just yet... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

My favorite payback is the work of some of the local kids, though. When they find a car parked where it ought not to be, they've been known to jack it up and set concrete blocks under the frame so the tires don't quite reach the ground! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif You've gotta love that local entertainment! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

That's great, Pete! Sounds like a good sensible officer.

Pete - Here's an old southern boys' trick you can teach 'em: If you put a piece of watermelon rind under the tires, then cover it with dirt, they won't be able to go anywhere and they won't be too likely to figure out what's wrong very quickly, either. Not only that, they won't find it easy to spot before they get in.

Is that an system that you know from personal experience?/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

MarkV - Um, well it's a fairly common trick in these parts, so it's entirely possible that I could know about it via strictly non-participatory means... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

You let this type of stuff go on ? Being that I am from Massachusetts ( head hung in shame ) you let this go , ? No wonder we have a bad name ......... I would there are a few that may be fit for the company of the better states .
I for one if I know that my neighbor was getting some thing stolen from him would at lest take more action than this and line the pockets more to boot ,,,,,

Personally, in the warmer months I find surrounding the car with dog doo (remember I have four goldens) results in their leaving in the proper frame of mind. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I hear they were later seen on a local bobsled run.

 

[MChalkley]

Yes, but that was before they found the dog doo under the seats and on the exhaust manifold...
