If they come back, just take photos of them.
Preferably let them see you take photos of them, especially if you can do it with a nice lng lens slr.

Next, make a point of getting them to see you put a "no dogging" sign on your lawn whilst looking pointedly at them.

Finally, order them room service, ut put bananas up their exhaust pipe.

Yes, but no-one wears shoes in my house, do you know how long it takes to polish the bloody floor - I wish I did have my trainers on, I would have caught those pesky kids I tell ya!
Might have caught them with a shoe if you'd opened a window and lobbed it at them. smile

I've had a couple of cars pinched off the drive, but none since I got the security post installed. PITA dropping it after rain - the post acts like a depth charge and a plume of water jets up and hits you in the face. I try and remember this happens... .

It did cross my mind that going outside dressed as a transvestite dominatrix may put them off.

The ultimate solution would seem to be a security post.

On the other hand, it might be the start of some real problems for you!

How much to have the security post fitted if I may ask? sounds like the way to go if it is not too much money.

Not much. Couple of hundred quid. But mine was done 15 years ago.

I will do some research and maybe get some quotes - thanks for the suggestion.

Online there's quite a few at less than £100 but I've no idea about fitting. Some are hinged so fold down, others require a hole for a tube and are recessed.

You want ones with spikes that shoot up when the scrotes pass over them.

I'd have gone and spoken to them.....

Had two guys sitting in a car outside my old house. Hard to describe the layout of the road, but the way they had parked looked odd.

On the way out to the shop, I gave them a friendly grin - right up to the driver's window "Alright guys, seen you sitting here, bit unusual, what are you doing and is there anything I can help you with?"

They were a pair of estate agents waiting for a late appointment.

It pays to ask and challenge in a non threatening way.

Had they been up to no good, they'd know they had been clocked.

(I would only do this if I was confident about my safety. It was daylight and there were people I knew around)

OP, I've had an idea. Buy a dog kennel, just the little hut type ones like you see on American cartoons. Simpsons etc. Get Rex written on it. Place kennel by car. Have some really thick chain pegged into the driveway and into the kennel. Get a large teddy, which is slightly Alsatian coloured and put in kennel. Maybe even a speaker with occasional grunts and growls. Also go to the butchers and get a very large bone and leave it outside the kennel. Signs everywhere saying 'no reps' 'beware of the dog' 'it's not the dog you want to watch, it's the wife' etc.

That should put them off and you don't have to feed a fake dog. Or take it out for walks. You could go to the local park and collect some dog st and scatter it around your driveway to add to the illusion.

Sorry, what? You don't wear shoes in the house? Are you retired?
Careful you could get banned for ageism wink

I never wear shoes in the house and don't own slippers, always walk around barefoot or just in socks. Mind you I am nearly of retirement age.

We have a winner.thumbup

OP you may want to smear said dog st all over you polished floors occasionally, this will add to the deception and your wife will believe the dog is real, this is handy for two reasons, you can go out and have cheap casual sex with random women, or men if you prefer,walking notional dog would get you out the house you see, the second reason is YOUR WIFE COULD BE IN ON IT.eek

What I really wanted an answer to is what information is there to be gained by people videoing or taking photos of the inside of a car? we had nothing on display inside the car so why bother?

The young kids I asked were only about 9 so their evidence cannot be totally relied on but I have no reason to disbelieve their claim that the older kids were taking photos/videoing the insides of cars. In fact these younger kids seemed exceptionally bright and polite and knocked on my door 15mins after the event to give me more detail about what had happened.

People will do this to get an idea of your routine, do you go out at certain times and are gone for a few hours, do you have a 'Muhammad I'm hard Bruce Lee dog', are you disabling an alarm when you get back, anyone one else in the house, security lights, etc etc.
