It'd mean you had a deterrent. I'm thinking of stopping them, rather than catching them. Pole, camera, signs.

Yeah, wonder how legal it'd be?

I offered to put some up to deter fly tippers on the lane outside our house, and Parish Council didn't see a problem with it. Not saying that makes it legal, but...

Yep, drove his van (very lightly) into me, as well. Later, he assaulted two police officers, but they let him go with a caution. I still have the pictures of him tipping, but they 'don't have enough to charge him'. And because he's a pikey, they can't track him down. Police? Council? Waste of space.

CCTV an option?

That'd mean sitting down and looking through hours of footage

You can get things that have a PIR trigger for the video; often used to capture wildlife etc but I've known people use them to capture crime.

I'm seriously considering one to identify all the animals we get on our woodland although I do slightly worry it'll get pinched.

Wouldn't cover much of the hedge though and even if you do trace who it is I doubt anything would happen.

Yeah, Maplin had a solar powered, movement sensitive one that I looked at for around �65. I'm not thinking of catching people, so much as deterring them, in Tahir's case.

Bloody great big slavering bull. With horns. Or wasn't somebody saying they'd lost a snake? Seriously, though what complete a@&!holes. Tresspassers and flytippers flytippers especially - how hard is it to drive to the dump, for heavens sake!

how about a couple of signs mentioning that you are currently having pest control issues so there will be people in the field and hedges with firearms, not exactly a lie if Mr philpots is still coming over occasjonaly and might just put off some people in the mornings and evenings when rabbits are out and about.....

Visions of DSers saying "Hey, look at the rack on her!"

From anyone else, I would have thought large udders. But with Toggle, probably not.
