Title: Vandals strike again ....and again....and again
Post by: Tin Shed on March 10, 2009, 14:58:14

20 shed broken into two weeks ago - 11 over the weekend - and 28 sheds broken into last night - including mine which I had just finished painting - as well as the ever returning graffiti 'artists'. 
We are getting rather fed up to say the least. :( 
They never take anything, just break in, usually damaging the door. Had my spade, stimmer etc in there - the only thing moved was the pack of staple gun refills which they threw on the path. Mindless or what?
Perhaps I could train the rats which visit my compost bin to attack anyone near a shed at night ;D

Or leave some lovely choccies out to tempt them - laced with weedkiller! Maybe not fair on passing wildlife though..

Just triple-strength Ex-lax inside the sheds tho? That should disable the little s***s for a while 8)

What about an automatic water-jet like this http://www.stopcatsanddogs.co.uk/Havahart-Water-Jet-Spray-Repeller/12.htm

Might make it less fun for them...
