This time I called rather than saying anything myself.

The idiots started the raceing down the street again. But now they were takeing it easy untill they got in front of my house and then jumping on it.

I also was informed by another nieghbor that they almost hit my daughter goofing off. My daughter didn't tell me because she was scared of what might happen if she did tell me.

I got a sneeky feeling that this is going to be a long hard battle!

But it is a battle that I will win!

    I wish I had a video camera, or could afford to jump out and buy one right now.

    All I have is still cameras![:(]

    I'm thinkin': just the sight of him out there with a video
    cam will be enough to make them consider racing elsewhere.

    SPIKE STRIPS!

    Easy to put out and then hide later!

    As for the video thing. Do you know someone that has a new cell phone with a camera? Most of them have the ability to take 30 second (or so) videos too.

    I agree,........but if yours won't, go to radio shack, and buy one of those fake surveillance cams. They won't know the difference.
    Of course, that won't help you if you must go to court.

    I am sure you could rent a camera cheap enough. Or go to a pawn shop and pick up one of the tape machines cheap. That will handle the job you need it for.

    Or........a night mission down to their place with the ole ice pick tire deflator. Camo paint on your face, camo clothes, a Gilly Suite or Net. Maybe a bow and arrow or cross bow, arrows in the tires. One through the radiator for good measure, a car kill![}:)]Heh Heh Heh!

    Make a mannikin and hide behind a large shrubbery, wait for them to come roaring down the street and shove the mannikin in front of their car. Soiled britches aplenty, and maybe they munch into a telephone pole. One can always hope . . .
    thats good!![:D][}:)]

    better yet the hard to find flat...take 4 bb's and place one under each valve cap as you replace it, when they take the cap off to put air in, the bb falls out and vanishes...no proof!

    Kevin, just buy a new barrel, extractor, and firing pin for one of your 1911s, shoot them with the new stuff installed, replace it with the old stuff and melt down the new stuff.

    The phorensics people compare the rifling marks on the bullet used in the crime to ones used in investigative test fires out of the same gun.

    They compare impact points on the primers used in the the crime to ones used in investigative test fires out of the same gun.

    And lastly, they compare wear marks from the extractor on the cases used in the crime to ones used in investigative test fires out of the same gun.

    No two barrels, firing pins, or extractors make the same marks on metal. The microscopic level is where the difference is.

    It's amazing what you learn when you watch The Discovery Channel.

    Get a babysitter when you think they're likely to be hot rodding agian. Give kids to babysitters then open the mouth when they drive by and whip some serious * this time.

    Another idea is accidently pull your Bronco out as they are zooming down the road at the last second and let them nail the front of your Bronco, heck it's the steel kind not the plastic by the pictures you've posted in the past. They can tell how fast they were going by the damage and skid marks they leave.

    I have a video cam you can borrow with a tripod. Don't make me drive up there with the Ford and straighten these morons out. I will strap them to the hood like a deer. If your boy or daughter falls off their bike just because these idiots got too close god help them. Reckless endangerment with a vehicle. They have notice the kids are on the street.

    I was hoping for a video of the car going over the suggested spike strips. BTW, a tater jammed up the tail pipe is always good for a laugh. I've also been the victim of long roofing nails under the tires. Zip Stripping some racing stripes on the car might help identify it in the upcoming video. Not that i'm suggesting anything though cause that woundn't be very Christian of me.
    I'll dig out my dirty trick book if you need ideas. I keep it next to my Bible. Not sure why.

    If they have hubcaps, a hadful of rocks is always fun.

    If you;re up for a night op, forget the overt stuff. Pop the hood and put a few quarts of styrene in with the engine oil. You can get it at WestMarine or any place that sells plastics or fibreglass supplies. Make sure it is styrene, as other products won't turn the trick.

    What styrene does is act as a catalyst with the polymers in the engine oil. Add a little heat and BINGO, you have made a form of plastic. It'll seize an engine up so tight that repair is not an option. Only takes about twenty minutes to work it's magic, too.

    If you can't get styrene, carborundum or glass beads from a blast cabinet in the oil does the opposite, with the same end result. It is a tad slower-acting, though. They will begin to wonder why they have so much blow-by and probably try to fix things as they break/wear excessively. This is the gift that keeps on giving, however. Unless they fully disassemble the engine and get it completely cleaned out, the stuff will always be there.

    For the sheer annoyance factor, get a cheap cigar like an Optimo or Roi-Tan, slit it open and tntroduce it into their gas tank. Another gift that keeps on giving.




    I'm starting to really really like badwrench. GrD you can also use some simple sand in the oil, epoxy putty also can cause all sorts of nasty things if you put your mind to it.

    I have been thinking about that.

    I have been on the county for over a year to do something about the speeding on this street.

    About a month ago they did put up one of those trailer radar things for 3 days. But where they put it was on a slight hill and the people could see the top of it before the radar had a view to clock them. So therefore they had slowed down untill they got past it. So the data (it records the times and how fast of a speed for every car.) that it collected was corrupt.

    As fun as it is to dream about the nasty things yo could do to their property, don't.

    Don't touch them.
    Don't touch their stuff.

    These idiots now know what it takes to get under your skin.

    Don't let them.

    They're putting your family at risk, but take the highest road possible and film them. Get lots of footage that even a good lawyer couldn't refute. It sounds like they're going out of their way to provide you with this.

    The problem that you may have with local law enforcement is that you crossed the line from complaintant to combatant.

    So it's now up to you to get as much as you can recorded and then go to the law.

    I was just playing with my cammera.

    I can get about 28 minutes of video on my 512mb card acording to the counter.

    That should do. I can allways step inside and download to the computer and save to CDrom to clear the video.

    I also think I will record these same people driving thier golf cart up and down the road as it is an unregister viechle and is not legal to be on the county roads with.

    Point blank I will dig up as much trash on them as possible!
