never mind all the theory
how would you, ILX, deal with your front windows being broken by a group of early teenage kids.
separate incidents.

hardman answers need not apply tbh I can fantasise all by myself.

Kind of depends on if you know who did it and what relationship, if any, you have with their families. Knowing them opens up more options, but requires a keener judgment.

just moved in. street borders rough areas. dont know family, after brief interaction with culprits I can safely say that its an avenue worth pursuing only so I can say "I tried that"

broken with projectiles on purpose? by accident? or as method of breaking in?

I have had shit like this before, the council always advise you to keep a log book of any incidents and capture video/photographic evidence if possible. Yeah like you are going to be filming kids outside your house, building up a dossier on them, for sure that will end well!
I was once working on the Windhill estate in Bradford and rewired this unkempt bearded postman's flat. He had a front door next to the Off License, with a caged CCTV camera and a sign requesting people not to lurk in front of his door or play ball games. So naturally all the kids constantly kicked the ball against his door, spray-painted "Pedo Wanker" on it, had put his window through x amount of times, put dogshit through his letterbox etc and he was calling the police every week and becoming a sport for these kids. A strident approach is not always the best option when are dealing with estate kids!
I have exacted petty revenge on adult age people before. A neighbour who kept dumping cans, bifta ends and various litter over my wall got a bag of rubbish dumped on their doorstep. This other perp got some inch and a half 8's screwed into their tyres for thinking his dog chewing my dog's ear was hilarious. But hell no, there isn't any action you can take against kids that doesn't fan the fire or end in casualty or in a police cell. It is a shitty situation Dmac, but I think as hard as it is, calmness is the key to getting through this.

i tend to agree with you on every point but its cuntish!

There is nothing cuntish about avoiding unwinnable battles that are more likely to fuck you up worse than yr adversary.

community cop called round a few days after to have a word with me. sussed out the kid involved and went for a word with his mum. after a fortnight hunkered down awaiting brutal punishment I'm starting to wonder if its not worked?
