rocking chair.

shotgun.

dang kids!







or, y'know... the camera.

As much as I like Teddy's suggestion on how to deal with this, both he and I live in The Peoples Republic of Hawaii and that sort of behavior is frowned upon down here...

The Saga continues...

I came home last night from a graduation in Southern california.

I noticed the air conditioner was not working so I went to check it out today. I noticed there are 2 baseball size rocks next to the air conditioner. One looks like it struck it and bent some of the air coils. I really dont think the rock broke the air conditioner but who knows 

the house next door is vacant but the house next to that has the same child I caught with a sling shot. I heard him making noise like he was breaking something and I saw him sneak into the next doors backyard through a broken fense board. a few minutes later he disappears and 3 or 4 small rocks come flying into my backyard.

I look over the fense and I noticed the house across from his house has a broken window. I walk over to get the broken window story from them but the house is also vacant... No wonder why they did not say anything.

Enough is enough. I knock on the kids door and talk to the parents and told them everything. I told them I did not see there child do anything but all these things are adding up. Of course the kids denied it.

well before I left the house i befriended the parent. I fixed her sprinkler Head and there older son just bought a ninja 250 to learn on so we shot the bull for a hour and befriended him as well.

I dropped a few hints about setting up a camera and notifying the police to see if they got any other reports to do a little scare tatics.

Not sure what else I can do. I still need to talk to the other kid across the street whos step father is a ex police officer.

This is a winning strategy!

One question:

Is "fixed her sprinkler head" some sort of euphemism?

Why are kids such A holes these days 

Because they're kids.  I was a kid and I was an ass hole, still am by most accounts.

The kids next door to me are little shits.  Sneeking out at night, don't look you in the eye, soon to be dope-smokers just like there dad.  Well, I sure do recognise that.

I try to take interest in what they're interested in (Heavy Metal, playing music, there 3 yr. old brother, and that's about it).  I talk to them.  The oldest one has a KLX 110 and the pilot jet was cloged so I fixed it. 

You can't pick your family or neibours but it's best if you can get along, even if you don't like them.
Not trying to preach, just telling you what's worked for me.
