a few weeks ago, i had a problem with kids going through my yard for a shortcut. first, i tried remedying it by putting up a fence, but then they kicked a hole through it and are starting to do it again. the only thing i could think of is getting animated manniquins and dressing them in catholic priest uniforms and posting them in my yard. this may sound funny, but i live near a catholic school. this actually worked. i have 5 dummies in catholic preist uniforms around my property and the kids have stopped trespassing. my neighbors are offended by the sight of these but i dont care. i have told these parents to tell their children not to trespass but they have not so i thought of the next best thing. why are my neighbors offended? am i in the right or are they? i have taken care of the more important problem but created another. should i just get a dog that bites and attacks or keep these "priests"?

Wonderfull idea. Train the kids so that they know where the danger is. You might save one from being molested one day.

If it offends your neighbors, you should move them. You should for your own sake, if for no other reason, stay on good terms with your neighbors. Don't get the dog, lawsuits are expensive. What type of fence did you have up that they could put a hole in it? Put a brick wall around your property and a camera there to scope out any trespassers. If you know kids are coming onto your property and don't do all that you can to keep them out, or create a situation where they may be hurt, you can be liable for any injuries they suffer. So, put up a brick wall, tape the boogers that climb over it, and take the tape to the police and demand the kids be arrested, or at least that the police speak to their parents.

I don't believe you, it would be kinda funny, though.
I wouldn't have any kind of dummies as yard ornaments. I would think a dog would suffice. Or you could ring out a couple shot out of a shotgun into the ground. Nobody likes to run around live gunfire.

That IS offending your Catholic neighbors without need.
I say take the manequins down, and when you catch kids tresspassing; threaten them that you will call the police. If they persist; actually call the police, and give them a hard time.

Why are you telling this big lie? Just to see how many would be offended. I am not offended, I recognized a thumb sucking lying twit right away.

LOL good on ya! I once got a toy cap gun and told the kids that were coming into my grandmothers garden and stomping her plants that I'll shoot them if they came back! It worked LOL!
