source: had some kids in my neighbourhood who thought it was cool to knock and run on my door all day. ignored them for a week and it's never happened again. i found that asking them to stop just made it go further. you have to remember that kids aren't rational human beings. treat them like kids and you'll be fine | ||

Watch kids ruin their shoes, also, parents will wonder what happened to shoes lol And hope that kids happen to jump on the said fresh silicone the following 10 minutes after laying it?

You're obviously not going to beat children with a weapon so cops is the only realistic option. you need to escalate it to a point where they're too scared to do it, or ignore it so they get bored and move on. source: had some kids in my neighbourhood who thought it was cool to knock and run on my door all day. ignored them for a week and it's never happened again. i found that asking them to stop just made it go further. you have to remember that kids aren't rational human beings. treat them like kids and you'll be fine The thing is I've already caught them on it and told them to stay off so many times it seems to late for that, and I still don't think the scare factor of cops is going to keep them away. I'm still kind of leaning towards removing the legs and locking it up, I dunno. | ||

You could also set up a security camera and show up to talk to parents with proof, or the same with the police. Really????, are u suggesting take the legs off the trampoline or the kids? Also a bit of an exageration considering their kids, u could go out and meet them and their parents and just talk about it. | ||

Sucks.what if you put up a sign that states that trespassing is not allowed and you're not liable for injuries that occure if not following this rule? Also the chains around the trampoline's bouncing area is probably not too bad, either. | ||

Putting up that sign still may not work ;__; there was a court case in which woman successfully sued McDonald's after she spilled hot coffee on herself. The cups are all clearly labeled "caution: contents may be hot" so I'm really not sure how that works. Saying that you aren't liable doesn't necessarily mean you really aren't even if you give a warning I think | ||

Your house might get egged and you might have pissed off teens/parents coming to your door in which case you answer the door in nothing but your underwear, holding a samurai sword, with some sort of mask on. Act casually, and just tell them you were practising when they rang the door bell. Also.. if u left a trampoline in your front yard..and i was a neighbor... i would totally jump on your trampoline =/. I would quit after you yelled at or chased me... my little brother would be one of the assholes who u would have to physically catch and harm to get him to stop... he is kinda an asshole, and prefers to do something more, once he figures out it makes someone else angry. New idea... set footsnares/booby traps on front yard. Win win... they stop touching your trampoline, or you get to cackle maniacally as you hear shouts of pain from your front yard. then again.,.. just chase them with a bat like u planned... but only wearing your underwear and a mask... think of the nightmares that would leave them with. Nobody fucks with the "crazy neighbor" | ||
