Re: Jerk neighbors - what to do?
I have a train horn in my car. I also had a neighbor that had a loud *** dog (FOR MONTHS this dog has been barking, police have been there a few times etc etc). The DAY AFTER I installed the train horn the dog started barking again.......I mentally said, "5 mins and he's getting blasted"
10 mins later I walked out, let the psi in the tank hit about 150 and then just emptied the tank. The dog jumped at least 3 feet in the air and then fell to the ground in what looked like pure FRIGHT. He laid there for the next 5-10 mins while I waited for him to bark again.....didn't do it. Eventually he got up and walked back around the other side.
Have not heard him bark for more than a min or two since!! (a few neighbors have come and thanked me for doing that, because the whole block heard the horn)
Also - I had a spanish neighbor who had one of those rice mobiles. You know, fart can, purple/ blue/red/yellow paint and of course ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE ALARMS EVER. This ****ing alarm would wake me up MULTIPLE TIMES A NIGHT. I called the police on the guy and they said when they went out he pretended like nothing was happening.
He was either a cook/cleaner/ something like that, because he'd leave at 5pm and get home at 2/3am. So I figured his best sleeping time was around 7am/8am.
For a week straight after the train horn was put in I would just do a quick 1 second blast as I drove by. It was loud enough that it would set off his alarm, he'd have to go find his keys and turn it off.
That didn't work. The next week I had a day off........ I tried to think of what I could do to end this ****. Turns out I had a nice radio controlled truck from when i was a kid.
I sat outside INSIDE my bushes (you really couldn't see me) in my camouflage outfit with black/brown face and drove that RC truck into his tires OVER AND OVER again (he always parked on the street, another pet peeve of mine). On what must have been the 15th time he came out PISSED....(the second the door opened I zipped the truck back behind a fence on his side of the street.
He came outside fiddled with it a bit and sleepily went back inside. I hit it two more times and went back inside. took a shower and on the way to work laid on the horn again.
I have NEVER heard the alarm again and the car remains parked in the same spot.
I truly believe some people are just stupid aholes who need things to be 10 times worse for them before they understand what they are doing to people.
The train horn has worked WONDERS to show some people that they shouldn't be running red lights, or cutting off a Bronco with a boat trailer attached to it on the highway.
I suggest you buy one of those dog barking things for 40 bucks and then get one of these lights. For 25 bucks they are bright as hell!!
