I talked to my next door neighbor, (1/8 mile away), and he said he had recently picked up shell casings and needles.

I am going to start cheap and easy. Lowes has signs that say "security cameras in use".

My neighbor wants to put up some fake cameras also.

I figure if the signs do not work I will invest in some really good real cameras.

I like this. Does anyone know if I could get in trouble if I did something like this:
Police/Cobb-County

I just put 6 signs out that say Warning security cameras are in use.

Seen another condom and several beer cans along the way.

I have thought about that a lot. I thought roofing nails would work best?

If using deck screws what size is best?

Thanks for that, I am sure it may help someone here.

Honestly I am a good person. I have had many thoughts about nails in the past, but I would not do it.

The reason why is because what if that nail or whatever caused them to crash, and they were injured or even killed.

I do not hate anyone, I do not want to harm anyone.

I just want to do all I can to persuade them that this area is not lovers lane. And not a place to park and drink and do drugs.

And hell yes as soon as I have some help on how to do it, I will be changing my router name. (my girlfriend is out of town).

I am so glad I got all of your opinions. Like I said before just trying some signs first, placed 6 while ago.

I will keep this open in case I need more advice(or just some laughs with some of the posts).

If anyone else has a what would you do question about something go ahead and post here if you want to.

THANKS! for helping me to think outside the box with these mess!

There is already one on every power pole. Because this stretch of road is so isolated it does not deter anything.

A little too dangerous for my tastes.

We are also finding shell casings and needles.

Go to Wallace Park like I did when I was a teen. You can park in the lower lot and have plenty of time to put your clothes on before a cop gets there.

I doubt it. I live on one side of the lake and Ted lives on the other side. Neither of us have ever had kids.

That is a large area. Some parts are still good, and some parts are worse than my area now.

1am now and my street has been clear all night.

A whole lot of commotion on the street behind me, maybe at least I ran them off a little ways.

I thought about putting this in the confessional, but it seemed a better fit here.

First time in a long time I was just on a late night secret mission.

While ago I called the empty nester next door(house on left is next door, house on right is 1/8 a mile away with a lake in between), anyway I was letting him know what was going on with all the signs I placed. (he stops by to get his mail 2 times a week very early in the morning).

We ended up talking for a hour. I wish he would just move back here and help me with all this mess here these days, he is super cool.

So anyway I mentioned his childhood basketball goal that still stands in the cul-de-sac, and how it drew a lot of people earlier today.

And he asked me to take it down. He said he is having problems at another empty house he owns and does not want anything drawing a crowd around this house.

He said take a sledge hammer to the post, to make it look like a car ran into it, so no punks try to pull some revenge.

And just lean it over for now, so everyone thinks a car hit it.

SO, I threw a heavy steel chain and a come-along in my wheelbarrow and was just going to lean it a little.

It was super easy, had it leaned perfectly, then when I was trying to get the come-along to release, the damn thing just fell on over and bent the shit out of my wheelbarrow.

I have a funny story to tell him tomorrow.

In the meantime he has paid me well to take care of his yard for years now, so the place looks like it is being lived in, and I have enjoyed no one living within a 1/8 mile away.

Hell, I can just walk out to my jacuzzi next to the lake naked if I want.

But other people parking down here and leaving condoms and beer cans and needles on the street, hell NO.

Don't even be trashing my Oasis.

And my neighbor on the right (1/8 mile away) is super awesome and the same, he loves this Oasis also.

There is a very old rock song that said "Doraville, a touch of country in the city).

This is not Doraville, but to me it is the same thing that band sang about maybe 35 or 40 years ago.

And I am so glad I posted this stuff here. I am still going to do the router stuff, that was the best advice of all.

Sadly the coyotes got the last one. Still not in a hurry for another dog.

I made a later post saying I would not do that for this reason.

No problems in over 2 weeks now. I think they got tired of being surrounded by police and searched.
