Problem neighbour

[catsandchaos]

Any suggestion how to stop neighbours kids running on our wall? It's really disrespectful and dangerous.
Asked them to stop and it carries on

@Givemeabreak88 I guess the mums would care when the little darlings end up falling off.

Razor wire, vicious guard dogs...

Get a nerf gun and shoot the little beggars as they run across- hours of entertainment!

Plant a spikey hedge - like berberis.

Well they obviously don’t care if they do otherwise they wouldn’t let them do it in the first place

I would go for the iron spikes or something similar. Not sure you'll stop this otherwise. It is annoying though.

If her wall is safe as a wall then I don't see how she has any obligation to ensure nobody has an accident when using it for something other than it's intended purpose.

The burglar and the poorly maintained path has to be wind up. Has that been tested in law? Does it make a distinction between front drives and back yards?

Apologies if that sounded snipey btw. It's not intended. I'm in disbelief that someone could potentially sue for pissing around on someone else's property.

molybdenum grease (black grease) blobbed on near where they climb on and off. Not enough to cause a slip but enough to ruin their clothes, then let their own parents do the rest

Maybe the neighbours had happy memories of running on walls as kids I know, nowadays children should just stay in so we can moan about their square eyes and obesity problems

Spikes or dog shit.

This happened near where I once lived.

Neighbour smeared excrement along the wall - soon stopped it !

Maybe the neighbours had happy memories of running on walls as kids I know there's very limited forms of entertainment right now, but...Somehow, in 5 years time, I can't see the kids happily reminiscing about that time they ran along catsanchaos's wall! I'm sure they can find other ways to occupy their time that don't involve annoying their neighbours and potentially damaging someone's property or themselves.

I think @TheGumption has the right idea

Anti Climb paint - after all if they can climb on it so can a burglar if you feel you need to give them a reason. Can't stand kids that don't respect others property.........nor parents who don't teach them to either!

Im in NI...i believe water canons are useful in these circumstances

Take a photo and put it on local facebook. Ask if anyone knows who these hooligans are who are destroying your property? Imply that the parents must have put them up to it to start a lawsuit when one of them falls.

What age are the children, how high is the wall, how often do they do this?

Do they live next door

Cat shit all along it

Definitely anti climb paint

Barbed wire.

Mum had same problem but with teens sitting on the wall which is only 3ft from sitting room window. They just put iron railings across the top

Even wooden trellis in a pinch would do

This used to happen to my parents wall. They got iron spikes.

They put up with it for years but the wall is short and when the kids stand on it they look straight into their living room.

How tall is the wall? My son walks along a wall on his way back from school (it's maybe a foot tall). I've never thought about telling him to stop. Maybe I should.....
