Punk Kids

Also, don't assume their parents are out of the picture or uninvolved unless you have a real reason to do so. I did some really dumb stuff at that age but if i had ever torn up someone's yard and the guy showed up and talked to my folks about it I would have caught hell and would never have gone near the house again.

The obvious answer is a couple of underfed pet mountain lions... But only because you're not supposed to user claymore mines.

Wow, there's a lot of aggressive, seriously bad advice in this thread.

You have a camera, right? Before you start with aggressive/expensive/complicated stuff that is gonna piss these guys off, and move them into retribution mode; start with easy and subtle. Teenage boys, right? The last thing you want is a "we'll show that SOB" attitude. You just need to make it uncomfortable for them to be there.

I would simply start photographing them in the act. Say nothing but make it very obvious (big camera) what you're doing. And do this at every opportunity, your wife too.

I do have a question tho: have you not gone down to the police station, and made a simple inquiry (not a complaint) as how to handle this? Can't hurt.

Hmm.. Lets see, photographing young teenage boys is CREEPY. And while it may not get a "we'll show that SOB" attitude, it may set their dad into retribution mode in the form of an ass-kicking.

You guys beat me to the sprinkler comment and the fishing line is genius. I say do both.

How about a water feature full of piranha's? That being said if you have a dog throw all his poop out there so they actually have a mine field to walk through. Any way good luck

Photographing them in their living room, sure. Photographing them in YOUR back yard, not so much.

Meh, Thursday night some punk was nice enough to shoot out some car windows with a pellet gun in our neighborhood.

$300 later and there is a new back window in the wife's Mazda 3.

pop punk kids listen to pop punk. they basically wear skinny jeans and band tees. they dont necessarily have gauges or dyed hair or wear stripes, thats more emo. bands that people listen to like that are all time low, pierce the veil, falling in reverse, of mice and men and other bands like that.

i think you're thinking of a different kind of punk, altogether
