School kids ringing my doorbell

[koolkai]

Some mornings, a group of school kids would ring my doorbell en route to school then run away at lightning speed.

I know who they are, as I have some CCTV images of them running away from my door.

What should or could I do about them?

You seem angry about it.

Do you go outside & shout at them?, as doing this is why they keep coming back.

 

[Cosimo]

Offer them sweets and ask them in......... wait...

Report them to the school.

Disconnect your doorbell in the mornings? If they don't hear it ring they'll probably move on to the next house.

 

[Lysander]

Shoot them in the head.

 

[LEUVEN]

Hide behind the fence until they came back, then grab hold of the one that presses the bell and pull out a large axe and threaten to chop off the finger he used to press the door bell?

They'll just rap the door knocker.

I used to do this as a kid

I would personally set a booby trap for them ! that will show em

Tie a couple of paint cans to a rope from the roof pointing to the door, (home alone style). Get it to trigger when the door bell is pressed. The paint hits them, Knocks them out/ kills them. Either way, dead or alive, bury bodies in woods.

Pretty simple to electrify it...

Just remember to disconnect that though, pretty sure you won't want a postie with a grudge!

 

[Castiel]

Kill them with fire.....

Dress up in a door costume and grab them when they come to press your bell.

 

[Theophany]

grab them when they come to press your bell.

Or don't, if it feels good.

Not angry, just annoying

Haven't done anything to them, not confronted them yet either, seeking some sensible advice here, if that exists

Depends what age the school kids are... Primary school - tell the head teacher. Secondary school - set up a booby trap!

 

[d_brennen]

I have some CCTV images of them

Burn the paedo!

IMO, if you go out and yell at them etc they will find it funny and keep coming back. I'd go to the school and report it there saying how distressing it is to you when they do that.

thread title put a smile on my face

a solution would be wire the bell to the mains.

 

[Twirlywoos]

take the cctv footage and hand it in to the headmaster, failing that wait for them to do it the next day and soak them in water mixed with chilli powder.

Chappy - we use to do this as kids, although usually at night and the idea was to try to do as many houses in a row as you could, then hide in a garden.

Childish, but then again they are kids.

Disconnect your bell for a few weeks, they'll grow board of it not working and never, ever go out raging at them.
