    Ok, as some of you know, my window was put through by some local yobs, who have since been arrested by the police. Well the other day my dad arived at work, and has discovered 2 nails in 2 of the wheels on his car. Then last night someone kicked our front door open while my parrot was out. Do you think that they are looking for revenge?

    1st - what's a yob?

    2nd - when I initially saw the post I thought it said "my widow" and thought - what an interestingly impossible 2 words to say.

    3rd - if the nails were in the side of the tire then it's obviously spite work, if they were where the tire hits the pavement - I think most tires have a couple of nails in em. They collect those things.

    4th - what the hell are you talking about?

    Well we did the 'right' thing and rang the police. I still prefer my method of chasing them with a wood axe, but my mate got arrested for that, so it isn't such a good idea. :D

    Two words for you: "security cameras". They're real cheap, even the low-res cell-phone type cameras can be had for next to nothing. If you can hook them up to your computer, so much the better. :)

    If the harassment continues, call the police again. They should have an officer keep an eye on your house for a while. If they don't........where
    did I leave that wood axe? If the police have a problem with the wood axe method, tell them I said it was OK.

    You can always count on parrots to set things straight.

    No no, they kicked my door open when the parrot was out. She could have got away.

    Nick, maybe this wouldn't happen if you didn't harass them in the first place. :eyebrow:
