The local late night gash-for-cash vendors have started to use my secluded residents parking area as a business district, presumably directing their customers to drive there. Naturally the worst thing about this is the lack of proper taxation for the service, followed closely by the general unpleasantness of the mess left behind afterwards.

Yesterday I was able to enjoy disrupting a hopping, steamed up Nissan Note by some judicious flashing (of torch), which I like to think was at a pivotal moment in their proceedings. They left swiftly afterwards which was good, but they will no doubt be back.

Whilst the light worked I can't help but feel there is a more effective deterrent out there. Any suggestions would be welcome, although preferably not involving the insertion of rigid pork, or bananas in tail pipes.

4. When someone is getting down and dirt, don the bee suit, retrieve wasp nest
5. Walk past the sex wagon, open door and bung the nest in
6. Shut door, leave
7. wasps get angry

Webcam and a subscription only website with live feed? Should at least go someway to replacing your lost rent.
Not sure the demand for watching boring cars oscillate is that high.

just put a sign up stating that the site is has video surveillance and that all registration numbers are taken on entry..
Fake cameras and real signs can only help, however due to the location you can't really put them in a useful place.

Floodlights have been used before in similar locations but would need approval from the other residents.

These look about right to me. Would feel a bit embarrassed if it caused Mrs Miggins at no. 52 to suffer heart failure though.

Most sensible option is to probably phone the old bill.
They've quoted a 60 minute response time, can't imagine the procedure would take that long even for the most grotesque of budget harlet.
