Little neighborhood hoodlums...

These kids are really really dumb.

It doesn't seem like their parents are much better off in the mathematical realm.

Everything flows from the top down.....last year my son and his buddy (they were 7 and 8) jumped on his buddies bed and broke it. My husband was over there within the hour to fix it and had the repair complete by the time the mom had come home (the grandmother was babysitting). What did my son learn at 8....when you are reckless and you break stuff expect to have to stop your play and fix things immediatly. His friend learned that too as he had to help (grandmother enforced!).

Too bad for those boys they did not have a daddy to go over there and make them clean up their mess. Such a sad thing.

Be wary of retaliation.

Be wary of retaliation.

That's probably good advice... More cameras going up in the next couple of weeks. Some that aren't so obvious.

Just checking - claymores still aren't legal here, huh?

They come under the aegis of illegal explosive devices and booby traps. Drat.

Also you cannot LEGALLY use bear traps to catch someone coming through a window. BAD law.

Instead of a bear trap, use a bear to trap them...

We have a discussion about what can happen in Texas if criminal mischief had occurred a few hours later in the day.

Or just when anyone was home; if I hear a noise I don't recognize and look out the window to see an unknown, but obviously not LE person pointing what appears to be a firearm at my occupied house, I just might decide to take my chances with the grand jury.

(OK, maybe not the place I'm currently renting, since the walls are limestone block, and a foot thick, but I'll sure be covering the door with the biggest artillery I can lay hands on from where I'll be laying on the floor. Any regular frame house, I wouldn't count on the walls to be hard cover, and would rather stop the attack.)

ETA; not quite a match, but the still from the video with the kid carrying it stock-forward looks like it has an adjustable cheekpiece and possibly adjustable LOP stock, so not your $40 plastic and sheet metal Daisy. Let's look at some of the $100-$300 air rifles then
Gamo Whisper - this sure looks like it could be a suppressed .22. I've heard .22LRs with suppressors about that size before, using both regular and subsonic ammo but not sure I'd know the difference between it and a high powered air rifle when hearing it unexpectedly over the sound of a TV or stereo.

Stoeger X-20S - looks like a really suppressed SBR. I have no idea what a shot from a .22 with a suppressor that can hold some crazy number of baffles would sound like, but then I'm not sure I wouldn't assume a centerfire when looking at this gun from a distance, either.
