No, a real gun isn't a good idea in this situation and the whole thing could backfire (sorry) on your parents if something went awry. I'm sorry that this is happening. We lived next door to vandals for years but couldn't catch them in the act, as strange as that sounds, although that was years before video cams, etc. Kids or not, it's no laughing matter when they ruin your property that you worked hard for. They egged and sprayed whipped cream on my car that was left in the driveway only one time and they spray painted my neighbor's windows shut. The neighborhood finally got tired of it and the ringleader got jumped in the middle of the night and had the snot beat out of him. I'm not suggesting that you do this, just stating that when people have had enough vandalism, especially in this economy when money and possessions have become more valuable to us than ever, they just may take the matter into their own hands. I think Ellie's idea is brilliant. Now where do I get a starter gun?
