Neighbours have installed CCTV that overlooks our patio ...

[mamacasshadahairyass]

They are twatty neighbours. We dont speak. We can see that one of their cameras overlooks most of our patio. WIBU to jetwash a massive cock and balls onto the paving stones just to see if they take the hint and move it?

Chalk "FUCK OFF YOU NOSY CUNTS!" On your patio.

Heheh! We've had a massive snog in front of it.

I very much doubt they'd understand what a pentagram is, wiccamum.

I might take up al fresco morning tai chi though

Place marking!

You HAVE to do what Wicca says. Then come back and tell us all about it.

I have absolutely no idea and your guess is incorrect, Lifeofl. Although a burglar alarm company were there the other day so I would hazard a guess that theyve been burgled recently.

Pick a different insult every day and chalk it in block capitals on the patio.

I vote for the simple but effective SHITHEADS first

WhetherOrNot, noted and agreed. But don't blame Zombie for the people who view property as an investment rather than as a home. She has lived in England for 33+ years. Ten years in a flat in London and 23 years in this home. It is her HOME. She expects privacy in her home.

Is there any way you could place some bird food/bread/ bacon above the camera? Maybe with the help of a long stick or fishing line? This would encourage birds to continually swoop (and hopefully nest) on the camera.

Sit out one evening and put on a amateur performance of Waiting for Godot
Use glove puppets for the other characters
but make sure you leave for the intermission

I would have so much fun with this...

not allowed to point a CCTV camera into anyone else's property only on your own. Its the same with security lights.

Battle with the neighbour (council on my side) after neighbours put a security light and camera up that was triggered when any walked down the street or up our shared steps. They explained to me and neighbour they could use a light and camera if it was ONLY pointing on their property and triggered only on their property but pointing the light, camera and sensor at the steps that were shared was causing a nuisance and invading my privacy. aLso considering recent issues with neighbour and abusive threats - was verging on harassment too because the light triggered, they'd get up and see who it was, often coming out.

Zero privacy for me to come and go from my own home as I pleased because I was being filmed.

the camera and sensor had a nasty end in stormy weather after a tree branch bashed into it... I swear it was not me. The winds were just on my side!

okay, well maybe send an email to the council or something because there is no reason for them to have it facing your property and I would find it creepy.

May I add to Wiccamum's ideas:-

5. Try and get something like this (and narrow the beam down using cardboard over the lens, so it burns out the something or other in the camera)

6. Get a motion detector light and aim at their bedroom the camera (while excluding their neighbours either side)

7. Get a couple of mates who own state of the art laser guided theodolites/hi-vis jackets etc, who can "take readings" from your garden aswell as your neighbours and talk very loudly about readings etc hopefully the lasers will burn the camera out (would that even work?), just so they can hear and shit themselves & remove the camera (you have to be filming them, just to be sure btw)

Get the strongest laser you can. Shine it at camera - if it's a decent laser it'll kill it.

Ooh SteamTrains we actually have that torch!

Get your own camera and point it at their garden!

See what they have to say about that

And we actually have a security light pointing towards it!

I'd better go see if it's working

Mama I wonder if his NDNs realise he has a mobile CCTV, that covers their gardens aswell?. Come to think about it...have you told your NDNs that you think that the CCTV is mobile?

I would write a list of all the house numbers on a sheet of paper, make sure the writing is v v big. Drag a 'body' across the patio as described and then be seen to scribble a house number out and repeat! And repeat!

Can you put a sheet on bamboo poles up to obscure their view? Possibly with something like "You are bizarrely interested in us" written on it.

The camera's at first floor eaves height so there's no way we can obscure its view.

We used to get a hot air balloon doing tourist flights over our house, so I did a chalk outline, put a biscuit on it and made the dog lie down next to it.
They fucked off and never came back.

A call to Police on the none emergency number 101 should sort it. Mention that it's pointing directly at your garden, that you feel threatened and intimidated. Do you have children? Police are very interested about people who point cameras at a house with kids in it......

You could have a lot of fun with this.

ABit That's inspired!!

So, I jetwashed a massive cock and balls and a rude word onto the patio on Saturday. Kept going in and out of the greenhouse yesterday, did several loads of laundry and hung it out on the line and switched the security light on permanent (until bedtime) both nights.

There is a man up a ladder fiddling with the camera today.
