Bit of bother with some of the local teenage hoods, and considering
installing one of these outside the house. Has anyone tried them, or
had any success with them ? What sort of range do they have ?

Have a look here for some info - it may be of some use (not a lot but some:

Best yob repelent though would be to lock up all the do-gooders and revert
back to the old fashioned discipline that parents, school teachers, police
and neighbours used to be able to instill without fear of recrimination.

And I'm *NOT* advocating pure physical abuse that leaves huge welts, bruises
etc, or the young child a physical or mental wreck -- before the aforsaid
do-gooders throw their inane comments about how children should be left to
run riot because giving them a well deserved clip on their bums or legs
degrades *their* human rights!!
