About once a week, someone in our neighborhood gets turfed. We are
in a development about a mile off a main road. Our place got it
twice this month. The people drive down the sidewalk, then do a
doughnut and down over the curb. With the ground as soft as it is,
there are some huge ruts. Reports have been made with the
authorities, but it's not like they are going to post an officer to
watch the neighborhood over such trivial stuff. My question is, how
the heck do you catch these people? I got a couple of 2x4x10's that
I screwed a bunch of 3" screws through, and spray painted them black.
I was going to lay them out in the yard, but I'm afraid someone
walking their dog might get their animal hurt. What's a logical
solution to catch the perpetrators? Some type of stationary video
camera? Thing is, they may not turf our place again, but someone
else in the neighborhood.

I would think a few 2x4's rigged on edge would rattle them rather well.
Space them about 18 inches apart.

I would put up a camera set to operate with a motion detecting light. Then
you'll get the *******. You could also put up boulders painted white.

We had the same problem in a brand new industrial park. Took about 8 months
to catch the turf wrecker. It was the security guard that was driving all
over the grass. Fired the guy on the spot.
