Peeping Tom- Who has booby trap schematics?

Post Reply New Topic

The night before last, one of my neighbors saw another one of my neighbors trying to get an eye-full through my bedroom window. He was right outside the window on a wooden railroad tie that is on the ground below my window. We notified the landlords, who say they will let us handle it. My mom dug up her yuccas from another flowerbed and planted them beneath my window and placed some pine straw around to disguise a nice big fire-ant hill that is there too. The yuccas have some pointy ends that hurt, in case you don't know abut them.

I am ready to get medieval right now and make some booby traps, but I have cats and dogs that could get hurt. Does anyone have any suggestions? Our neighbor is going to call the Sheriff next time if she sees it again, of course.

really anything bigger that a 9mm round is good for stopping people from doing what you dont want them to

Yeah but it is catching them in the act that I am interested in. It takes me a minute to get outside, so I want to make sure he gets a little something even if I don't catch him. I have a dog that would rip him to pieces, but she sleeps with me and would not want to be outside at night.

The problem with guns here is that the law is not on my side if I shoot him outside, especially if he isn't armed. They have to be drawing a weapon outside for you to legally shoot them. If he were to come inside I would have every right to load him up. I really want to avoid traumatizing my child, as well.

Hmm, how about a board with some long rusty nails in it, placed on top of that railroad tie. And maybe a little barbed wire where his hands would be (window sill?).

It's too bad they don't "glue traps" big enough for humans. Then you just call the cops for removal/disposal.

Record him doing it with a cam. Or place a cam so he can see it but not reach it outside but don't record if you doing want. Sensor lights that detect motion are great. Mud is always good. Small containers full of water if nothing else.

Some good suggestions so far! I just thought of some cow poop outside soo, or something very stinky that is hard to get off his shoes. It may leave proof he was there, too, if it stays on his shoes. The only problem is that the same substance can get on my cats too.

Thanks everyone- keep them coming too!

I have a Nuka Grenade and Bottlecap Mine schematics.

After he leaves his foot prints you can pour plaster in them and make casts of them. Empty tin cans or tin cans with small rocks that will make a good deal of racket when kicked. Leave them positioned in the area of your window. Also small rope tied to something firm, to trip him. Or netting with empty tin cans tied to them, placed where he could get his foot tangled.

Not an overly serious suggestion here, but maybe buy a large realistic looking plastic gun, and put it somewhere noticeable.

Yeah- that is good! It would be great to have something that would pop up and scare him, but it would likely scare me too, and I would pee the bed.

a sensor light thingy that comes on and lights up a sign that says "smile for the camera"
something noisy to trip over right at the edge of light sensor zone
And a dog door

If he's climbing up on a railroad tie then he probably uses a handhold somewhere to pull himself up. A few old razorblades glued to that hand hold will probably sort him out.
