How do I combat eggers?

if you find a camera I have a vcr that records for 24 hours... you can borrow it... in fact I might even have a camera that you could use... let me look when I get home tonight...

Not that it wouldn't be a great time and that they don't deserve it, but the paintball idea could land you in jail. The Police car idea sounds great to me. Even a sign that says "smile your on camera...." might help, or it might make it worse!

Here is what you do...

Put a life sized cardboard cut-out of you in your front yard with a videa camera running. When they drive by the first time it will scare them and they will not throw they eggs until they realize it is fake, and that will make a game out of it for them and they will have to go by a second time to target the cuttout and that's when you catch them on video. My guess is they will not be able to resist coming back to "nail" the "fake you". Like birds landing on a scarecrow to show they aren't afraid of it.
Maybe it's stupid, but that's an idea. Give them a target they can't resist hitting, one that will not be damaged (like broken windows). Sounds like they have already hit everything else.

A company I used to work for put up tons of fake cameras with big cameras saying the building was under survellaince. Not that it was a bad neighboorhood, but we never had a break in...why take the chance right?

So buy some fake cameras, put them right under your outside lights so they can seem them. See what happens. At the very least they will notice something is new and I'll bet they will just move on to thier next target.

They'll get tired of the game soon enough.

But if you do find out who they are, I know a group of 'kids' that are pretty adept at bombing away non-lethal water filled objects at people. Other objects can be substituted.

I do have some big black camera domes you can have... take two and place them on either side of your house and see where that gets ya...

Not a bad idea. I'll pm you. I like the bait idea. Very clever. I think I'd get a lot more satisfaction from seeing them get busted rather than fighting back. When I was a teenager I never learned my lesson, I always just reacted back and it was usually in a worse way.

I know someone who has a potato gun you can borrow. also shoots rotten bananas, apples, basically anything you can shove down the barrel. I was thinking that if you hide down the street and "get them back" away from your house, they won't know which of their victims is getting them back, and you won't get into trouble. just my twisted mind working. tehehe
