Cheap camera + VCR.



Oh, my bad. Didn't realize this was a "revenge thread."

99% chance that anything that kills plants will end up on your lawn as well.

Therefore, I highly support the "rub poison ivy all over the hose" option. If he has to do any work at all in dragging the hose across the yard, and starts to sweat at all in the Florida heat, he'll wipe the sweat off his forehead with his hand. During the coming days, look for the rash on his face, his arms, etc., and delight in the fact that you caused it and he has no clue why. AND, if he *DOES* figure out that it came from your hose, you can explain, "oh, that must have gotten on there the other day when I was removing some poison ivy that was growing wild in my flower bed... Good thing I know what the stuff looks like, I was wearing gloves when I pulled it out, but must have used the hose without taking the gloves off."
I like this idea. All natural too.

I haven't read all of the posts...but....

Get alot of weed killer/rock salt/etc, sneak over, and draw a huge 20 ft c*** and b***s on his lawn. Just imagine the implications of having a massive male genitalia across your back lawn.

why not put a sign by your house, something like '[neighbor's name], please stop using my hose, thank you'. it shames him, and is peaceful

I'd tie the hose with a wrap of duct tape, and write a note on that tape. He'd get the hint.

the best thing: spray magnesium all over his grass. he turns on the water: all his lawn goes. and nobody can prove that it was you.

I mean the land is barren. It makes slash and burn viking raids look like a stroll through the city rose garden.

Sure would be a damn shame if some of that found its way into his yard............


Actually, RoundUp has little to no residual, definitely not more than one year. How cool is that?

This is why farmers everywhere use it to burn down a field of, say, alfalfa to plant soybeans.

Probably the best part about roundup is that it takes ~5-7 days to kill, meaning your neighbor might be doing it mulitple times and/or won't know why all his flowers are dying. And die they WILL with roundup

Ned: Excuse me neighbor! I couldn't help but notice you picked pretty much all of my flowers!

Homer: Can't make a float without flowers...

Ned: Uh, sure enough, but did you have to salt the earth so nothing would ever grow again?

Homer: Hehehehe.. yeah.

Neighbor

I think Specop confused it with diesel fuel.

Pour a bunch of salt into your hose (i.e. a whole container full, or 2-3 if it's a really long hose) and leave the hose out someplace convenient for him to swipe. If he sprays his flowers with your hose, they'll all die.

Yes, I'm evil.

Sorry guys, the update is boring. I put a Post-It on his front door with the following text:

"Stop using my water or we're going to chat.

- You know who"

Hopefully that will do it.

Let's hope that little yellow post-it note won't fall off and fly away haha.

That's not much of a threat, lol. Should get it taken care of though.

I used a very, very large piece of duct tape. That note isn't going anywhere...

Get a Hustler magazine, some ky jelly and a container. Take the contents of container and smear it all over the faucet handle and the end of the hose. Re apply for better affect. Set up a webcam, record the incident and post here so we can all laugh at the idiot.
