Christmas yard decorations destroyed.... Husband says no more

[violetrose]

That is a real shame that someone can't decorate their yard without having to worry about setting up cameras. I don't blame your husband for not wanting to do it anymore, I wouldn't either.

Great minds think a like.

Op, a few summers ago and group of teenagers for some reason spent the summer driving around in a car with a baseball bat, smashing mailboxes. I mean literally driving down the side of streets simply swinging.
my development has a block watch, contacted police, etc etc

One neighbor put in an inexpensive motion video camera. caught the guys and the car.
Rumor has it that not only did they get in trouble but evidently the charges were more serious because it was tampering with the US mail (who knew) and the owner of the car evidently was charged with a misdemeanor.

Once you put up the mailbox it is deemed the property of the U.S. post office, smash the mailbox and you have damaged government property.

Great idea!!!! (But the way things are these days, YOU would probably end up sued if they were shocked!!!)

Probably! Although I just mean a gentle shock, enough to scare more than anything - not like a fall down and pee your pants type thing - LOL! Of course these days even that might be enough to sue (even though they are the ones committing the crime)!!

However, the sprinkler thing is an awesome idea. That's absolutely harmless but hilarious
