What's the dilemma hun?

Well, we currently live on the corner of a row of houses that has a path running up the side of and the kids regularly cut across the front garden as a short cut and its usually just a little bit on the corner or the very ends of the garden. Now there are 3 lads that just blatantly walk across the middle of the garden and the neighbours'. Now I normally go up bang on the window and tell them to get off the garden or go out and shout at them. But they just ignore me usually. Now I know this probably just serves to make them do it more cause they can they are getting a rise out of me. But I cant just let them walk across the garden because its downright disrespectful. I want to go out get hold of the little bleeders and give them a firm talking to and a clip round the back of the head but I cant because ill get locked up. Im gonna clock where he lives later this afternoon but I know I will go round the house and the parents will just probably say 'whatever'. So what do i do? Get the police involved as I cant take matters into my own hands? Im fuming. :mad::mad:

I'm not surprised, I've been driven round it a few times and feared I would never escape :eek:

Think about the people who live near there:eek:

It's shocking isn't it. It doesn't help that they seem to change to one way system on a fairly regular basis, so you can get the hang of it, and then next time you go, it's all different again!!!!

They do it to stop people getting in, i think

Cover your garden in REALLY smelly manure?


Seriously, I would give it a try having a quick word with the parents first, because the police probably WOULD come out and have a word, but they wont treat it as a priority so it could be ages, plus ringing the police on them might escalate things.

I think I will thanks but isnt it crazy that you have to ask the police to come out and tell kids not walk on other people's gardens. Unbeliveable. Do you know the Police used to be a 'Police Force' rather than a 'Police Service' Outrageous eh

Wanna laugh!?!

I am currently sitting in my office, shared with the finance manager... and 3 ickle baby mice! they keep darting around the floor .......

if it wasn't so cute it would be :eek:

Awww we've got a ickle mouse living in our compost bin. I've been worried all weekend coz I put chilli seeds in there, and I'd hate Jerry (that's his name ) to get sore eyes or summink

I blame the parents. If someone came round and told me that I would have a chat with the kids and I would ground them if it happened again
