Ah...Technology

In our recent visit to our property, just as I was about to leave to come back home, I looked in the woods and noticed some things that were out of place. We have an old (circa 1900) wood house on our property that's in disrepair. I noticed one of the doors from the house outside and propped up were it was vertically on its side. As I walked closer I noticed a giant hole behind the door as well as other doors/ sheet metal propped up against trees. Several of the trees were also damaged.

Then I found the best evidence...airsoft BBs. Green and white ones all over the ground. So now I've got kids on our property playing airsoft wars on our property. I don't blame them, it does sound fun. I pictured a kind of real life version on the "Estate" map from CounterStrike. I had a feeling of who it was basically by reasons of deduction. The house is near the road and only neighbors that we can see our across the street and they have a 14 and 10 year old boys. My suspicions were confirmed when I started filling in the hole and another neighbor drove by and saw me and informed me that his wife saw those boys playing on our property.

So I went across the street to talk to the boys' mom and she was apologetic. She was going to have them fill in the hole and put the stuff away.

Well, since I'm not too trusting, I came back home and bought this. Don't you just love technology! It's used for wildlife but it'll work on kids just as well. I was worried about the flash but its an Infrared flash so we're all good. It'll take single, multi shots and 10s to 1min videos. We're headed down there this weekend and I'm going to install it in a tree somewhere.

Take that kids that live on my street! Ah ha!
